I don’t eat chocolates, but like the empty trays. Got a big collection now…just don’t know what to make with them yet?

BLOG: Rhubarb Pie Dish

IMG_7728.jpg

Time to make Rhubarb Pie; inspired after coming across my American Fruit Cards, seeing this vibrant pink Early Rhubarb in London, and receiving this fabulous Pie Set for Christmas. FALCON Enamelware established 1920. A classic product thoughtfully represented with seductive honesty. Great Packaging by Morse Studio. I just love to open the box and look and dream of pies… just when I’d given up trawling the markets for unchipped pie dishes. http://www.falconenamelware.com

BLOG: A Toft in The British Museum!

IMG_7096.JPG

Just in London…saw Grayson Perry: The Tomb of a Craftsman at The British Museum…one of the most fascinating exhibitions I’ve seen in a while. A good marketing idea for the BM…more than the expected Egypt. Perry had selected his objects made by unknown men and women from their collection…a chance to see things you didn’t know were there…and see how they inspired or related to his own way of looking. He writes so clearly. What an opportunity to get inside a living artists’ head. http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/exhibitions/grayson_perry.aspx

Look! A Toft’s ceramic plate was there too. http://www.thepotteries.org/potters/toft.htm
