Spring is Sprung!


Thank you for your wonderful comments and emails regarding our feature in the magazine. It has been such an amazing month and so many lovely things have been happening. Also, for the most part, the weather has been glorious (let's not count this week!) and I thought I would share these beautiful images with you.
A host of golden daffodils...



...and blossom in the lane.

We also had a winner of our prize draw,


such a lovely lady who I know will enjoy sharing the hamper with her family.

Thank you to everyone who has waited patiently for their mugs and mouse mats - you'll be pleased to hear that stocks of these have now been fully replenished! Due to our recent, successful buying trips we have masses of gorgeous vintage stock which we are adding to the website as fast as we can! In particular, we have a huge amount of exceptional textiles which I must admit I will find it difficult to part with!

This bedspread is a riot of fifties florals and one of my favourites - oh those gorgeous roses, poppies and peonies!

Hope you all enjoy the photos - back soon...

Alfombras Persas


At the age of 15 Hans Boujaran was taught by his mother to work on tapestries and Needlepoints in his hometown of Tehran.

Little did that young boy realize that a creative seed had been planted in his heart, and that 17 years later he would own Antique Rug Galleria in the prestigious village of Southampton New York.

Hans's passion for art and interior decor is poetically translated into rug designs. His years of studying the masters and tenderly restoring antiques have given him a deep appreciation for the classics and true craftsmanship.



"My clients appreciate designs that withstand the passage of time. They are looking for authentic art and they appreciate that they are supporting a dying art form."

Antique Rug Galleria collections are made from 100% hand spun lambs wool, using natural and vegetable dyes to create gentle luminescent color. Hand knotted by Afghan weavers, this tradition has been passed on through the family, in the same way as Hans learned from his mother.

"My inspiration comes from life itself, I have learned how to interpret colors and patterns from nature, architecture, textiles and paintings, translating my vision into rug designs." "As an artist, my canvases are my treasured rugs, each design has its own story and soul."

Mobiliario para Terraza y Jardín


La terraza y el jardín son una prolongación de nuestras casas, y deben primar en ellas las mismas normas decorativas que en el interior: estética, funcionalidad y adaptabilidad a los usos que daremos a cada espacio.

Reasons to be Cheerful!


According to the song, there are 1, 2, 3 reasons to be cheerful! Currently, for me I think No. 1 has to be the recent Springlike weather we've been having. I know it hasn't been sunshine for everyone but there has been a lot of sun around and the signs of Spring are everywhere. No. 2 is the feature of our home in the current issue of the BBC Homes & Antiques magazine.

The photographer, Nick Carter, has captured the cosiness of the cottage and we are really pleased with the feature which gives you a peek into our home - and a taste of the bold, vintage floral theme we have all over the house!

Reason to be cheerful No. 3 is most definitely the bright and pretty floral textiles we have recently added to the website. The rich and vibrant colours are extremely uplifting. There's this stunning French cushion...

...these gorgeous 1950s red roses curtains...

...and another fabulously bold French cushion.

I'd love to hear your '3 Reasons to be Cheerful'!
