D is for…….

Thanks for all your suggestions, ‘D’ is a popular letter indeed.

I thought I’d whizz round the shop this morning so you could find some of the new pieces.

Just about to sit down with a cup of tea & start this weeks newsletter~ theme ‘What will be’

I hope you have a lovely day.

Lucky numbers….

This might sound odd, but I love a good number!

There’s something so orderly about them, which in a world of chaos is pleasingly simple.

Does this bunch of metal golf course numbers hold your lucky number?

Priced at £20 each which includes uk mainland postage, these are not yet on my website so please dm to get hold of yours.

(Single sided & measuring approx 28cm long x 7.5cm wide)

Fancy a little tour?

Lots of new pieces in this week~ have you seen something that would be on your wish list?

Please do let me know in the comments, it’s always fascinating to hear what people like.

Perhaps you know someone else who loves a good mooch around antique shops? I’d be so grateful if you could share or repost this reel.

Right I’m off to make my umpteenth cup of tea as it’s quite chilly here today.

Hope all’s well with you?

It’s a little garden themed window this week…

I don’t know about you but I have officially decamped to the garden (between downpours that is).

Once May arrives, I have little patience with being inside & drag out cushions, pillows & throws as life moves al fresco & I’m determined to make the most of things.

Each year plans are made to tackle certain parts of the garden, very often the same plans are dragged out too as time got the better of us the previous year~ but no matter.

This little cart could be the answer~ fill it with flowers & simply wheel it in front of whatever you don’t want to see or that hasn’t been tackled yet??

I think it’s called lazy gardening but it would mean more time to curl up in a favourite spot with a good book & a glass of wine ~ my type of gardening!

I hope you have an outdoor space to enjoy & please tell me I’m not the only one with a million unfinished projects on the go?

Time for a little tour…..

It feels like I have been moving the shop around all day, I hope you like it?

It’s wonderful to be back ‘home’ after taking LG out on the road this week ~ thank you if you visited my stand at West Green House yesterday ~ wasn’t it the most beautiful day!

The sun has been shining all day here in Midhurst, I hope you’ve been able to pocket some where you are.

As always shout if you see anything you fancy.

Fancy a little browse?

Lots of new things in the shop.
I’m about to start pulling out pieces to bring to the @whitedoorbrocante this Thursday.

Please dm if you’d like more details about anything in the shop.

And what did you think of the grumpy piggy bank? Isn’t he marvellous? I’m not sure he would inspire me to start saving though 🤔🐷

It’s a cricket themed window this week…

Such fun having a new crowd in the shop who have been drawn in by the cricket prints.

People have been sharing knowledge about all the different landmarks in the paintings which has been really interesting.

Sadly my teens no longer play, so my days of sitting in a deck chair watching are over~ I never understood what was going on, but I loved the vibe~ especially when a g&t was in hand!

Printed onto canvas & labelled 108/500 the limited edition framed prints are £125 each (excludes postage)

Please let me know if you’d like more details.

Capturing a moment….

There is much to see in this pretty old town.
I’ve always loved the pretty house beyond the pond, I wonder who lives there.

I often take s little detour this way when I need to drop parcels off at the post office.

Drink more milk…..

Or if like me you can’t stomach the stuff~ fill your churns with plants & fill your garden with churns!

I love a churn~ I mentioned in one of my stories this morning that I just love agricultural salvage.

Imagine one of these with ivy cascading down the side or heirloom tulips popping out of the top.

It’s that juxtaposition between something cold, hard & industrial softened with pretty planting that I adore.

Btw~ people are often unsure about churns & chimney pots~ the secret is to fill them 2/3rds with anything (old plant pots, rubble - the heavier the better if you want to deter gits).
Then sink a pot into the top & use the remaining 1/3rd as normal.

I was hoping to have these loaded onto the website in time for the weekend but I’m afraid life got the better of me, so please get in touch if you’d like any details.

Easter Parade…..

So many pieces have sold from the Easter window, I’ve had to re-dress it this morning.

I love the cauliflowers in the little wooden planter….let’s just hope they don’t turn the shop all whiffy!

Do you decorate for Easter?

Midweek mornings…..

Hello from a cloudy but trying Midhurst.

This week I am trialing some new opening hours at the shop~ just trying to juggle life’s many balls & still open as often as I can.

It feels odd starting my shop week on a Wednesday, I can guarantee I won’t know which way is up by Friday!

If you fancy visiting this week, here’s what I’m up to:

Wednesday- Saturday open 10.30-4pm

Anyway, whether you’re midweek, mid-shift or generally having a midlife crisis ~ I’m sending hugs.

One of my favourite finds is the naked lady painting ~ recumbent in the most magnificent frame.

Do let me know if you see anything you’d like to know more about.

What’s your lucky number?

I bought this beautifully hand painted set of wooden balls a little while ago.

I had no idea what the game was called, but I thought they were just too pretty to leave behind.

Some lovely customers have just informed me that they are historic gambling balls, known as ‘Teetotum Gambling’ balls- who knew!

Can you shed any more light? How on earth do you use them?

Please comment below 👇 I would love to hear from you.

Not a cloud in the sky….

Midhurst was looking splendid in the sunshine today~ look at that blue!

Customers were out & everyone was in fine fettle.

I really enjoyed pulling together my Easter window, adding new stock & generally getting everything ship-shape for the weekend.

Open again this Friday & Saturday 10.30-4pm

It’s been lovely to be surrounded by so much pretty colour~ just perfect for Mothering Sunday gifts.

Yesterday I was thrilled to take delivery of my new limited edition candles by the very lovely & talented Katy from @earleyanddaughters

The shop is filled with the delicious scent of ‘Awaken’ which features notes of freesia, magnolia & pear.

Deciding on a collaboration is something I take very seriously, I only want to bring brands into my shop that I personally love and feel I have a synergy with.

Katy’s passion for her candles, the quality of the product and her ethics make this the perfect partnership.

So I’m very excited to bring this limited edition of Tams Pottery candles to you and hope you love them as much as I do.

Available from my Midhurst shop now.

Lottie 💚
