Homer

If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?


I am incorrigibly domestic. I love kitchens, and stripy cushions, and stationery. Today, at the local farmer’s market, I bought a pottery spoon, even though I can barely afford anything to scoop. Any shop I owned would have to sell handmade spoons. I’m still disturbed about the beautiful, incredibly slender, long bowled, bronze spoon I didn’t buy in a New York homewares shop in 2019.

And I love cake, and baking. In fact, my shop would be a bakery that also sells homewares: glass-domed cake-plates;

Find it here.

quirky jars for storing flour or mini cup-cakes;

Get them here.

deck-chairs;

These are from one of my very favourite shops.

multi-coloured enamelled staplers.

Oh, and loose-weave linen table cloths you throw on straight out the drawer, wrinkles and all, along with almost matching napkins.

Found at…

I could go on and on now I’ve started, but I’ll spare you, except to say that I’d like this shop to be in a small coastal town.

Now I need to think of a name…

  1. I love kitchen supply shops! For a smallish town, Savannah had some really sweet shops. Now, living in LA the choices are HUGE!, not to mention all of the resale and thrift/charity shops. The MITM has severely cut my discretionary funds for essential (to me) kitchen finds! 😉 xoxo

    p.s. the spoon you mentioned sounds intriguing. Was it for serving or stirring a drink?

    1. The New York spoon? I have no idea what it was for, but it was in a very fancy shop that also sold beautiful long stemmed wine glasses for a fortune, and marquetry cheeseboards that wouldn’t be out of place in a palace. I reckon it would have been indispensable for a very tall Sundae. xoxo
