Hi to you!
I feel a bit stalkerish, as I love to take a daily look at your blog, but haven’t subscribed!
I noticed you were looking at trays today and wondered whether you had seen the India Jane stores at all? They have an online facility as well as stores. It may be a little too mainstream for you but thought I’d put it forward as a suggestion.
indiajane.co.uk and then Dining and Trays! We have one in our local town and I always have to go in and have a browse about, if only for ideas!
Hope that helps,
Kind regards,
Caroline

Hi Caroline,
Please stalk away!
Thanks so much for the suggestion. No I hadn’t heard of them, and they do have some lovely trays…a bit on the ‘ouch’ side of price, though. The nickel trays are quiet drool-worthy!

Hi Winston,
Lovely post about The Sleep Room. I actually look after their PR and will be posting a link to your fab blog on their Twitter page (@thesleeproom). Make sure you check out all their new products – great selection of rugs, lamps, bedside tables, drawers, ottomans and mirrors.

Hah! Isn’t that funny. I have to say, I have been really impressed with their service so far, and the products are beautiful. LOVE the linen sheets….*drool*. Thanks Jess!

Lynn, I don’t off hand. I think it would be one of those things you would have to keep an eye out for.
Funny you should mention the lovely folks at Urban Cottage Industries with the industrial vibe on this post…I have done a few posts on them in past! I use them regularly for lamp bits and definitely recommend their products! Good, long lasting quality and fantastic service.

From the Purl Side
Hi Sam,
Thank you!! It is from a number of throws I had made to sell, but unfortunately they are all gone now. You might try with John Atkinson if they are still trading retail. They had similar ones, though they were quite a bit more expensive!
