I have a huge crush on all things wicker and am on the hunt for my perfect Lloyd Loom Lusty chair, so I almost died when I saw this shop.
It specialises in new wicker creations, including wicker chairs for kids, wicker tables and you guessed it, wicker book cases! Great if you're looking to capture the old fashioned sewing room look in your house. but there's also some nice, modern patio furniture showcased, and tall wicker chairs perfect for dining room interiors.
To the left of the store there is a stretch of wall dedicated to dolls houses of every colour and style imaginable. This was a nice touch, and handy for local collectors as they had some glorious wee Victorian dolls, complete with changes of clothes, and lovely Georgian style furniture to complete the collection. The dolls houses were magical, especially the ones in pastel colours. One in particular caught my eye, to which my friend retorted, "I'm not surprised, it's the garish one..." it is true I like an odd collection of stuff but the more unique the better! And you can't argue that these dolls houses have something old worldy about them, as well as looking moderately like they've been modelled on Phoebe's magic house in Friends.
A great shop for furniture and toys that are a bit less clumsy in style than today's world offers, but although the step back in time felt nice my quest for the perfect wicker chair continues. read more
