Have your candles gone dull with time? A ladies stocking can be used to polish a candle! White candles will gleam virgin-pure if you clean them with a brush soaked in methylated spirits. And for coloured candles, drop of soapy water does the trick.

Deeply immersed in design throughout her life via art, interiors, landscape and architecture, Emma Lipscombe’s work fuses the hard-edged tangible absolute with the painterly.
Her interest lies in the confluence of geometric shape and colour, and in the transformative ritual of simplifying, sampling, re-mixing and re-working

Travels in Europe and North Africa, in addition to working in the New York City interior design industry, have contributed to a unique aesthetic sensibility, rooted in a deep understanding and appreciation of the history of the fine and decorative arts. Drusus Tabor believes in the ineffable beauty and grace of hand-made things. In today’s digitised, mechanised world, true luxury resides in those things made in real time, by a real person, using real materials.
Drusus Tabor are inspired by their heroes: The Bloomsbury Group, The Omega Workshops, Barron and Larcher, Peggy Angus, Enid Marx, The Folly Cove Designers, The Tillets, and Vera Neumann.

Armed with a map, an alphabetical list of 38 named ‘Rivers of Norfolk’, a box of chalk pastels and an insatiable curiosity, artist Tor Falcon has followed all of Norfolk’s rivers from source to mouth, making drawings of them.
Out in all weathers and in all seasons, she has watched crystal-clear springs bubbling from the ground and detritus-laden tidal surges powering far inland. Along the way she has met experts and idiots and everyone in-between, had close encounters with wildlife, and spent a great deal of time in the company of cows. She has become well acquainted with overgrown ditches, sewage works, weirs and mudflats. She has crossed many bridges. There are very few places in Norfolk that she didn’t visit in her four-year journey along its rivers, streams and trickles.

In this timeless and beautiful book, renowned architectural and interior designer, writer, shop-keeper and blogger Ben Pentreath presents a fresh and insightful overview of the classic English style.
Visiting 12 very different homes, Ben explores and appraises the unique spirit of the English House – at once restrained and simple yet overflowing with a generosity of touch and a richness of color and texture.
The book is divided into three sections: London, Country, and Country House, and the interiors featured range from a 1930s pied-a-terre in London’s historic St James to designer Veere Grenney’s pocket-sized Palladian Temple folly in Suffolk and Wardington, a 16th-century stone manor house in North Oxfordshire. Ben’s own homes, in central London and West Dorset, are also included.
These homes vary greatly in architecture, size, shape and age, but they all have in common a peculiarly English style – richly-layered rooms that deftly intertwine colour and pattern and a mix of old and new furniture to create timeless and comfortable places to live.
Hardcover. By Ben Pentreath. Photography by Jan Baldwin. Published by Ryland, Peters & Small.

Colour is at the very heart of everything Bridie produces. Formerly a specialist painter of interiors, she has continued to keep up the practice through her homeware range. The latest of which are the glass & brass column lamp bases.
The strengthened glass columns are painted by bridie then assembled with unfinished brass top and bottom plates. Over time the brass, if left unpolished, will develop a mellow patina making the colour of the column all the richer.
The lamp is fitted with a bayonet light fitting and a brown silk flex. A 14” empire lampshade is recommended.

We love a commemorative tea towel and never wanting to miss an opportunity we thought the EU referendum is an event worth marking. Haven’t decided which way to vote yet? Let your oven rail decide!
We have our wonderful friend Nicola Beauman from Persephone Books on Lambs Conduit Street to thank for inspiring us to come up with this idea. It seems as if with every conversation we have about the referendum our opinions are divided all over again – whichever way you want to vote make sure you do on Thursday 23rd June.
