You know, sometimes, I wish I was a Brit. I mean, I have crushes on British men, ahem Robert and Jude. I adore my Dundee Marmalade jars ( I think they started in Scotland though.) Love English gardens. Boden and Mini Boden. And, I have a soft spot for the Union Jack. Now, I have one more reason to hop the pond... Colporter London. Catherine sent me such a sweet email flattering my taste (a sure way to butter me up) and asked me to take a peek at her and her husband's newest venture. She even said I inspired their cards... wow! When you see what they offer, you will understand why I am so, so flattered. Their taste is impeccable and what they offer is amazing. Things you don't see here every day. I have my eye on the Union Jack pillows made of the different fabrics. I would have totally posted some photos from the site, but I can't get the photos to drag on my Mac. They have one of the greatest ideas I have ever heard: a Colporter party: this is where you get together for drinks and a bite and they show you their treasures. And you get 10% off! And the hostess gets 10% of the nights sales towards Colporter merchandise. Wouldn't that be great for a housewarming? It is like the best Tupperware party EVER. So, go on over and look at their beauties. And, Catherine is on Twitter, so you can follow her. Now, if I can just convince my husband to let me go to London and host a Colporter party from the hotel room....
I'm a Brit and I have Dundee marmalade jars. I have an English garden and a Union Jack cushion BUT I didn't know about Colporter, so thanks for enlightening me. They sell the most amazing things. They are now firmly in my favourites. XXXX
ReplyDeleteThat store looks great - their vintage inventory is beautiful. Yes, I believe a trip to the UK is in order. ;)

I've never been to the UK, but oftentimes after reading too much British chick lit, I begin to use words like "colour," "sickie," and "jumper" (as opposed to "sweater").
ReplyDeleteOh, what a lovely site! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy dream has always been to go to Scotland and Ireland. The hubs says "someday"...we shall see. :)
