Thank you for the excellent lamp recommendation, and I love the liberty suitcases too… my daughters is still full of her doll’s extensive wardrobe of clothes (said daughter is now 18).
Having been involved in a lot of charity/school fundraising lunches/dinners with no decorating budgets, we’ve always sold off the table decorations on the day for a profit. Most people are happy to either pay £10 for something like this to take it home, or we did magic squares (maybe google if you’re interested, we’d do 10 squares) which raises substantially more. Also saves having to store things for the next one. The flowers are gorgeous!
Oooooh, the little Liberty suitcases are so sweet! I've visiting my daughter in a couple weeks (who also happens to work at Liberty). Can't wait to check out the sale!
Lucy! Firstly, SUCH a delight to find you here on Substack. Brilliant writing as always. It's only been a gazillian years. Secondly, I am WELL JEL you have a house by Ben Pentreath. The DREAM... those wall casts (are they Peter Hone?) - I'm saving up for a MASSIVE one of the Elgin Marbles just to annoy people (and I love the greeks. and horses). And your paper flowers are utterly beautiful. Subscribing right now.
Those flowers are so lovely. I don’t think you’ll be able to reuse them because people will take them home!
