New Arrivals from Morocco!

Near the top of my very long wish list, has always been a Beni Ouarain carpet from Morocco… So… for my birthday last Thursday, I decided it was about time, and ordered one in for myself, as well as a couple of extra special ones for the shop!! They arrived just in time, with a day to spare. I was very good, and waited right until Thursday morning to open them up. The carpet I had ordered in for myself was obviously the first one to be opened, and consequently, as a result of having a new addition to the lounge room, I made Danny help me rearrange the furniture and move things around, ready for a new breath of life! I have grand plans for the lounge room, and I’m getting impatient!!! But, my new Beni Ouarain carpet does look and feel (it’s SO soft and squishy under your feet) so beautiful, I love it every time I walk into the room. The carpets we have brought in are all vintage and 40-60 years old. They are all hand loomed sheep’s wool and are very high quality carpets, sure to increase in value and texture over time. They have previously been used as floor coverings, or as large blankets for warmth. Due to the ‘off white’ coloured base, Beni Ouarains are extremely durable and almost stain resistant. What more could you ask for? Being so neutral in colour, they are very versatile and would suit any interior – urban, modern, beach houses, traditional or contemporary styles… We will have these available on our online store very soon! Otherwise, feel free to pop in and have a look (and feel!!! Ooooh!)… In the meantime, I have uploaded some images to inspire you! Tara xx

Finally!!!! The day we have all been waiting for!!! Our online shop has now officially gone LIVE! We are now open for business 24/7! We’re very excited about this new little venture, however, are still working through things and still very much undergoing a steep learning curve. So please be patient, and feel free to email us if you have any suggestions or comments on how we can improve. We’d love to hear from you! I hope that you like what we have available online – we have collaborated with our sister store Indigo Love to bring you a lovely assortment of goodies – many that you will not be able to find anywhere else! We will continue to update the shop, as it is full of one off pieces which will constantly be changing, so keep checking for updates or join our mailing list so that you never miss out! Happy shopping! Tara xx
