We have been working on something new and we are calling it a Lifestyle Pop-Up... A curated edit of brilliant pieces, most of them have a Suffolk and Norfolk connection, either made here or based here and all rather cool.
It is a destination well worth the visit. We will be based at Maple Farm, Kelsale, next to the brilliant farm shop and opposite the hugely popular Pinch cafe, words fail me on how to describe the quality of the food - it is just beyond good.
17th July - 10th August
From 9.30am every Thursday / Friday / Saturday / Sunday
Maple Farm, Kelsale, Saxmundham IP17 2PL
Do visit, most of the products are exclusive to the popup and not available in Southwold or on the website.

Vintage Throws
Kanthas
Vintage kantha quilts were originally a way for rural women, particularly from the Bengali region, to upcycle old saris and garments and repurpose them into blankets, using traditional kantha stitching to sew the layers of fabric together. Each quilt is unique. Use as a cover on a bed, over a sofa or chair, as a picnic blanket or hung as a curtain. A wonderful gift to receive.
