Button pot update

Here are a few of the latest button pots I've been working on. It's addictive, sewing buttons on pots. Having a lot of buttons and being indecisive isn't the best combination but it's relaxing in a odd way.

Local Shop...Local Roots

Yesterday i went to the beautiful market town of Abingdon, Oxfordshire to drop some work off with a shop called Local Roots.(www.localroots.co.uk) They sell quality goods which have been produced within a 30 miles of the shop.

Their ethos is to promote an ecological approach to retail, with much of the produce sourced from organic farms and smallholdings, and an emphasis on fair trade and minimal environmental impact in all aspects of the business.

The shop is a welcoming warm and cosy treasure trove that is very much worth a visit.They have mouth watering chutneys and jams and now 21 pieces of Lauren Denney Ceramics.

Check out their website for more info www.localroots.co.uk
