Fancy A Brew?

I have been looking back through some of the first photos taken for the site, quite a library has stacked up over the years, and thought that folk who like a nice bit of vintage enamel might appreciate these three lovelies.

It didn’t always look like this!

This sofa has been given a new home by one of our loveliest customers who came to our very first house sale and has supported WM ever since. It’s amazing what a difference a great fabric and some good old fashioned craftmanship can do, it certainly didn’t always look this good…

One Year On

 

We have been in our studio a year now, we moved in early December 2010. This is what it looked like when we first saw it.

Studio Sale & Christmas Fair Fun!

We are opening our studio doors again for a STUDIO SALE….though not too wide as it’s a tad chilly! The date has changed as a nasty bout of pneumonia has put paid to our original plans, but hope you can make it on the revised date below.

Power of Making at the V&A

I had the joy of going to see the new Power of Making exhibition at the V&A this weekend, and it was one of those exhibitions that makes you just feel happy in your soul.

The C-Word!

It’s seems so awful to be thinking about Christmas in September, but I saw a Christmas ad on the TV last night (sigh!) so we are, of course, not alone.  We found the inspiration for these handmade decorations in a book from the 50′s on paper decorations that had sat on our shelf for a year or two. We have been working on getting these produced commercially since spring.

We recovered this Arkana stool for one of our lovely local customers, and are working on a bespoke basis more and more.

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining!

The rain seems to keep coming and the silver lining is that I get to use the loveliest vintage umbrella in the world.
