Labour and Wait

December 20, 2012

Look at this beautiful shop and the beautiful products that they stock. This place goes out of their way to get products with lovely old school designs and aesthetics.

For the past twelve years we have searched out specialist makers from around the world, many of whom manufacture their goods in the traditional way and to their original designs.

So have a look and see what you think… My 2 favourites are the confetti wrapping and the pompoms – they’re just so much fun!
