The doorbell has jangled a lot this week which has been absolutely lovely.  With face coverings becoming compulsory in shops in England from 24th July Hilary’s charity face masks have been flying off the shelves and the sewing machine has been humming non-stop.

In between all of this Hilary’s also been putting a roll of beautiful fringed kelim to good use by creating a selection of limited edition bucket bags in two handy sizes.

We were out taking photographs of the bags for the website when we bumped into Bet who was taking the rather cute Meg out for a stroll. Bet and Meg with a limited edition fringed magic carpet bucket bag in Chulmleigh

After a bit of persuasion they agreed to be our socially distanced models.  Absolute naturals!
