Gorgeous door! It does beg the question, where will the snails party now? I’m sure they’ll complain of gentrification. “This part of town used to be cool…”
My kids are quite young so they do have delicious cheeks but I’m still better at skincare than them, by a narrow margin.
Beautiful new door and antique trinkets. What is it with modern teenagers, I’m fairly sure I barely bothered to wash my face and maybe gave it a little wipe if I’d braved some sparkly eyeshadow but now they use lovely things in their skin and smell good 😂
How fun to peek at your sweet finds! You really inspire me to just have fun when I'm writing newsletters—what a lovely reminder that it's all the good random bits in between that we all love! And oooohhhh the whale prints have me especially intrigued. Beautiful.
Ooh! Your ship in a box find is GLORIOUS! And finding it at a boot fair means you likely scored it for a song?! WINNER!! (they’re normally well spenny!) What a beaut it is! Living your new front door … and that the infamous whale prints will be back in production soon. I’m still desperate for one! 😍 Xx
I love Salty Sea Dog, and your new door looks great… and Pie is 16, wow. Mine’s 3… I cannot imagine what the next 13 years will bring, but the last 3 have been a treasure, every day of it. Your heart must be so full from 16 years of treasures!
Love this random hodge podge of news! Brill market finds - don’t you just love a good rummage?! Talking of ancestors, I’ve fallen down a family tree worm hole, and have found out some of my ancestors were barge builders and cricket bat makers! Good luck with the stories, can’t wait to read! X

I didn’t even think about the poor disenfranchised snails 😱
Hound cheeks are the best, they need to be bottled.
I am positive there’s a black market for them somewhere
Hound? Flippin spell check! *young
😂
My 15yo said Good Luck, Babe by Chappell Roan sounds like “mouse karaoke”. I feel like that would pair well with a snail disco. Top night out!
Right, I’d better set up a speaker outside the door so they can party outside as much as they like 🎉
I just heard about Chappell Roan! Top shelf tunes for the tiny friends :)
She’s great!

Me too, soap and clearasil was as much as I knew! 😂
I love your new front door, it looks beautifully authentic!😍
They did a good job. Tania has designed us a lovely door number, I can’t wait to put that up!

Random bits is the way to go 😂

I will!

Honestly, it will fly by. I know everyone says that, but Pie was 3 five minutes ago!
Here’s to the lighthouse builders, helping us find our way 😊
And obviously, a Salty tattoo for you, Katie, and Tania!
Oh yes, a Salty tattoo! And maybe everyone who joins the good ship has to agree to a Salty tattoo - hang on that would make us a cult 😂🤪
I love reading your updates! Fab door and trinket finds 🤩
I have a compass rose tattoo on the inside of my forearm. Sort of nautical, it keeps me centered and on course
Oh wow, that sounds like the kind of thing I need! what did Popeye have? I need those! 😂

Barge builders and cricket bat makers! Impressive and kind of creative too.
Yes! I like how creative they seem! X
Random hodge podge is the only way my brain works 😂
Haha! Me too! X
I have the green version of your candle holder and have done my own Substack about my week -spoiler- it is short but EPIC!! 🤎
Epic it was! Puppy time!
I want to go to a snail disco after this post! Can’t wait to read yourself and Katie’s Salty stories (that sounds wrong but you know what I mean 😂)
Ha! 😝
Love your new door and that "It needs weathering in a bit, and we need the local kids to kick a few balls at it, but it will settle in".
That’s a gorgeous antique ship!
I know, so happy we found it!
