my sweet little granny squares stool

Inspired by the lovely Ingrid Jansen over at www.woodandwoolstool.com is our own interpretation.
This lovely little stool has a bright and breezy cool summer look and is in our etsy shop today :)

a lot of fluffiness

just loving the textures of these items.  So, so soft and dreamy.  Found at 13 ricrea in Italy.

new beginnings

welcome to my new blog.  I am Susan Potter and alongside my lovely and very much appreciated husband we are setting up our first small business named Millicent James in Leigh-on-Sea within a fabulous store called What The Butler Saw. 

We are due to open on the 1st September and are hoping to sell an eclectic range of hand-painted and upcycled furniture, crocheted products, interesting interior accessories, collectables, prints, crafting magazines and yarn. 

So for now I wake up each day in a mad haze of panic, will we have enough stock, will it sell, will anybody like what we do, what if we sell everything all in one go, what if my hubby ends up out of work and we cannot afford the rent to give it a chance to grow.

Please do also take into account that this year I reached the grand age of 50 - so therefore wondering if I am a little bit crazy for taking this on :)
