Ben Pentreath: Is It Too Late to Celebrate the Jubilee?

Because if it’s not, I think I need these commemorative tea towels–along with just about everything here. I really love a store that understands the shopping scale: Those $2 impulse buys that lure you in off the street (or into the site, I suppose), which are displayed and arranged with as much care as that $250 print that you then might actually buy. That’s how I seem to fall into purchases at least…the little things are my gateway drug to opening my wallet in a much more significant way. That Josef Frank-upholstered chair below? Let it be mine. Also on my list: Stick-um Candle Adhesive, Norse Fish-shaped wall medallions, and 1,000 stamps, strung on a string.
