Art Deco Ceramics

This first section is dedicated to style in the home. For us the colour and shapes of the deco period are what brighten up our homes. The style of Shelley, Grays, Susie Cooper and of course Clarice Cliff are the providers of this design and colour. We've opened our cupboards to to share with you some of our own collections.

The Style Guru

We now introduce our" style guru" as part of a regular series on practical advice on how to brighten up your home. Watch out handy Andy!
style5.JPG
Oh no he's been at it again. Disappearing to that shed at the bottom of the garden in the evenings. Emerging weeks later with his latest creation. Deco style covers for your hi fi speakers. Despite all our attempts he still fails to get a life. And he has the cheek to call Pete boring.
His earlier tip is how to make your video recorder fit in an older stlye room. Its easy.... you spend a large number of hours hand building a cupboard from MDF. Then bore your friends and family telling them how clever you are!

Coming soon; Loudspeaker Stands. Our guru's not getting out again!

The Rocket

rocket1.JPG

Found in a Junkyard Chevy Paul has now acquired this rocket rocking horse, and plans to restore it and install it in his garden. Give him your sympathy as we watch him restore it.

rocket2.JPG

Well the rocket made it to the garden, I suppose it won't look too out of place amongst the blue trees.

rocket3.JPG

Wasting no time the whole rocket has been rubbed down , repaired and repainted, to match the garden. Next will come the controls?

Instruments now added, that should improve the in flight contol!!!!

Is this the Rocket's final resting place, or are rumours right; and will the rocket be soon pointing skyward?
