Visited York for a few days and came across this shop and noticed it had some great items in the window etc. including a set of planters. Unfortunately it was shut at the time but I made sure I went on the day it was scheduled to open which was the day I was leaving York. I ended up buying two sets of planters, one for myself and one as a gift. The shop only had one set boxed but the owner quickly removed them to show my partner and quickly put them back as she had only just opened the shop and was getting a bit flustered. The other set was removed from the window display and that was wrapped in

Found this very inspirational design studio on my visit to York, very different to the run of the mill design shops and a very knowledgeable lady in her field. Lots of good quality soft furnishings and great design ideas with some great art. If you ever visit York and you are looking for something different for your home well worth popping your head around the door.
