I recently visited my friend who lives in Manningtree in Essex and decided to visit the shop Wild Raspberry, the proprietor of which had contacted me in the past concerning bunting.What a successful visit it was! The lovely Rebecca is now stocking several of my totes, brooches and some bunting and is a very helpful and generous lady. She offered me a great deal of advice and was wonderful to chat to.
The image is of Manningtree High Street. Borrowed from the Manningtree-Mistley website. It is a delightful little town with a few rather good charity shops and some nice little eateries. I was trying to find an image of the shop as the window is so lovely! But unfortunately my hunts have come up fruitless. It is a ceramics cafe which also stocks lovely things (of course! It stocks Cuppateaandcake!) and some amazing perspex jewellery which i REALLY have my eye on! Next time!
It was a great day.
