It was here all along

Funny how you have to go away to appreciate what you already have and see things in a new light, but that's just what happened last week. A mini-break in London promised plenty of new ideas and experiences. Living, as we do, a little off the beaten track in the rural depths of Herefordshire and not travelling too far or too often, I've developed a tendency for thinking that we're a bit of a backwater and lagging behind the times somewhat. Far from it! Although we stopped in lovely Notting Hill Gate (by Portobelllo Market) and went into lots of shops it was a little disappointing not to find anything with a WOW factor. OK, Liberty's was a bit wow and I wish it was closer so I could go more often, and I did see one or two ideas to adapt for the ECHO shop but ...... we already had very similar stock. Hurrah! bang on trend and a fraction of the price. Leominster is the place to be. 

Just wondering now where I can get a ton or two of wood panelling to recreate the Liberty's look.http://www.liberty.co.uk/?gclid=CMD__sm8pKkCFVJX4QodHgpptg
