Our days are spent admiring hospitality details, happily lost on Pinterest, pandering in our garden bed, painting the same layered canvas, championing the hurkle-durkle lifestyle, moseying the seaside, discussing constellations with our dog Blue and delighting in the *ping of a new project inquiry.
As a small shop, we love making ties and sharing clients by working with other small vendors and freelancers.
