new in store...a birdcage, french benches, a duck and more

This birdcage was put into the store today. I love the shape! I found a spot for it in the soft furnishings room on a blue painted chest of drawers, the colours work well together. These French fruitwood forms have been in the shop previously, but they couldn't fit for a while so they went into storage. I am glad I found a spot for them on the big farmhouse table as I really like these. They are much happier in the store.

These soft pink linen cushions have just come in. One sold instantly, so only one is left. It is backed in a soft bone linen.

Donna found this French pottery bowl during the week. It has a lovely glaze and is a good size.

This cute decoy duck has made his home on an old Oscar Wilde book on a French ladder. He looks content, does he not?

The case on top of the tin trunk is made from a black canvas and has a leather trim. It too was a lucky find this week.

And our clever younger sister has been busy hand printing these calico bags with French sayings using our antique printers blocks (she raided our stock to do these!). Next she will do some for Christmas, perfect for wrapping Christmas presents...the ultimate recyclable wrapping!

The new range of bags are hanging on our French ladder at the counter, ready for action.
