just before I light the fire........
its now dark and I am just going to light the fire before crumpets for tea so I thought i would share a couple of more interesting photos with you. as i mentioned in my previous post we had a holiday before Christmas in Rye a really lovely old town. A trip to Hastings Old Town was full of interesting , inspirational places such as Hendy's Homestore (as now featured in Selvedge). The store window was magical, in each bay window stood a doll's house surrounded by chunky Christmas trees with no decoration. It was like a scene from 'The Lion the witch and the wardrobe' ( a favourite book of mine). The store itself is a feast of loveliness, if you like utilitarian kitchen stuff, think old china sinks, enamel ware, lace and wooden walls. Fires were burning in the fire places with the occasional puff of smoke that didn't get sucked up the chimney perfuming the room. Apples resting on the mantelpiece took me back to New England if you are ever down that way please seek this shop out it is a delight and the charming staff allow you to take photographs.....hence these tow images for your delight
