I'm always thinking of ways to reuse or recycle it into something fresh and new, with an edge it never dreamed of having. Or a use it wasn't meant for, but which suits it perfectly.

Things of elegant beauty from days gone by put a smile on my face and give me a feeling of connection with the past, a sense of belonging, a curiosity about the future.
I often wonder what my life would have been like if I had been born in a different time.

I love old stuff, and I like using it to create something interesting and new, or just using it in new ways. And I love nature and using its bounty to create. Combining the two is my hope for this shop. Like recycling, yet somehow a little bit nicer.

I love the rustic look of the birds nest, very different to others I have seen!
