How sweet is this David Cleverly mouse eggcup?

Handmade in Devon from earthenware in the 1980s and now ready for your kitchen, no mousetrap or cheese required.

If you haven't seen David Cleverly's ceramic animals and heroes collection I highly recommend taking a look at his website. They are whimsical, fun and beautifully made.

Now available in my etsy shop.

WHITE RABBIT. WHITE RABBIT. πŸ‡πŸ•
Sometimes you just HAVE to have something. That's what I thought when I set eyes on this White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland stand-up sign.

When I was talking to my friend who was selling it, she mentioned she had originally purchased it for a shop 'closing time' sign. That got me thinking and now I want to get some clock hands and make it so you can change the time.

For the time being, he's going in my front window.

FOR SALE: Stunning silver bee cufflinks with beautiful detail. Hallmarked B W - Birmingham - 2004.

This pair will be added to my etsy shop very soon.

On a side note it's been a bee filled week. I've just finished planting my annual wildflower patch to help . And my weekly football coaching session was cancelled due to a bee swarm at the stadium. 🐝🐝🐝

I bought a job lot of vintage photos off a friend today and found some absolute gems. My favourite vintage pics usually feature animals, but here we also have some amazing animal friendships. Including the Fox and the Hound, The Owl and the Pussycat, plus a bunny on an ironing board! I have so many questions....

I recently bought a mixed lot of pins, badges, and bits and thought it was the perfect opportunity to utilise the display case that had been sitting at home unused.

I was a little unsure about bringing it to the emporium because a few traders had warned me that customers don't like to open cases. They said it wasn't worth the space they take up and they rarely sell from them.

But, I thought, sod it, why not give it a go? Can't be the same for everyone.

And within 3 days. Half of the contents of this case was gone. Learning lessons all the time.

For the past few months I have been very quiet on social media, but for a good reason. I was lucky enough to be offered the position of manager at Foregate Street Vintage Emporium.

I took the time to settle into the role and it's been an amazing experience so far. Working with the team there, the traders, and the customers, I am learning a lot about the industry... And people in general. It's a fabulous emporium and helping to steer it's growth is a privelege.

I have still been selling, but everything else had to take a back seat as I adjusted to the new situation. But, now I'm loving my job and also able to spend time on my personal business. So, I'm back! And looking forward to adding lots of new content in 2024.
