  Thought you may like to see the solid oak sign that was made for us by a chap called Simon in Hundon Village. We wanted oak as it lasts for years. I have one from my great Grandmothers house and it must be a least 40 years old and still looks great. As well as having signs on display in the shop for "Grandad's Workshop" "Baby's room" etc. Simon also makes signs to order. They have so many uses and make lovely gifts. We have had people enquiring about them for pet graves, horses stable names, house names, private signs. The list goes on.
Have a look at Simon's website, he also prints other signs and t-shirts too.

  Richard and I have separate Christmas trees as we can't agree on styles. I'm rustic and he's a tinsel man. Yesterday he bought a lovely set of lights for his tree, he was thrilled with his new purchase until he realised that I've actually pinched his tree for the shop.
I noticed now he's used the lights in his office and they look lovely. I havn't told him yet but I'll be pinching those too for the shop next season...
Take a look at this beautifully made quilted table runner, perfect if you are haivng a big Christmas dinner, and would look lovely in contemporary or traditional settings.
Made by Diane, a very talented quilter in Devon from Moda fabrics. Its fully washable, measures 157x46cm and is £49. Can be posted if required.
