Mosey is a pleasing little home ware shop, as such things go. Stocked with porcelain drawer handles, faux-antique clocks and handmade cushions, it feels homely with a whiff of sandalwood, and a soupçon of hempen fabric. Lovely outdoor candles share their distressed wooden floorboards with enormous lamp-like candle holders, and I was quite taken with a desk light that looked like a telescope (not in the model of one, just reminiscent of one, which is as far as it needed to go). It's all a bit washed out and pastel coloured for my immediate tastes, but many of the things they sell would make nice gifts and judging by the nice lady in charge they'd probably wrap them for you with little bows on.
The whole experience can really be summed up by the word 'nice' - it feels like a dinky little business run by someone fresh out of Swiss finishing school, but with a lot more imagination and flair than such things usually have. I'd definitely come back if I were poking about in Ditchling again. read more
