{at the shops: crucial trading}

. . . back after a spontaneously extended and beautiful weekend away and always delighted to discover new shops with great products, but even more so with equally lovely photography -- two current favourites being Plumo {and here}and Toast, and now have happily discovered the very British Crucial Trading, a creative floorcoverings and rugs company whose gorgeous photography is a captivating mix of a fashion editorial and a brisk and blustery afternoon curled up beside a warm and romantic fire . . .












. . . more at a glamorous little side project

Just discovered a great new store, plumo, a showcase of what can happen when good products are in the hands of good stylists. There's a wonderful, old-world glamour about their things . . .

And they're British.
