i spent this weekend helping my brother-in-law in his new chic little coffee shop in the up and coming, artistic town of Stevenson square in Manchester.
next door to the coffee shop was the most magnificent art store (H.Blyth & Co.) which naturally i spent too long in and came out spending a mini fortune!
but alas! my purse was not ready to go back into my bag as i spotted yet another art store across the street!
..."art store" is a little short for what this shop really was....it was an arts, crafts, book, haberdashery, photo, model and gift store!
