Travel - Charleston in East Sussex Shop

Collect here. 

Acquire here. 

As the boundaries are blurred in the farmhouse, as well they are blurred in The Charleston Shop. 

It takes more than one turn through the lovely books, cards, lamps, ceramics, and prints to make any choice, and there is a second room for fabrics and dresses and jewellery as well as a short video on the Bloomsbury group and the heritage of the house and garden. 












The sling chairs covered with Bloomsbury fabric are wonderful.






















Artistic inspiration.





There is so much to see I forgot to purchase the Charleston Magazine. Please pick up a few for me when you are there.


The Bloomsbury heritage continues through the work of artist, textile designer and cake decorator Cressida Bell,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cressida_Bell

daughter of critic, author and artist Quentin Bell and Anne Olivier Bell, granddaughter of Vanessa Bell and grandniece of Virginia Woolf.

Cressida offers her own range of lamps, rugs, and bespoke designs for interiors as well as her recently published book 

CRESSIDA BELL'S CAKE DESIGN on her website.

Cressida Bell's textiles honor the influence of Bloomsbury and intensify through her own vision. 


 A must have Cressida Bell design. 














And then there are must have dresses in the shop.


The jewellery somehow did not get photographed, you know how sometimes you just miss things?…
but I am dreaming of it, brilliant colours to go with the clothing.


Help me remember to acquire Charleston jewellery on my next trip.














And then the fabric….more than a must have…an I cannot leave without.






















Designed by Duncan Grant. My choice.

  1. Purchasing jewelry in large volumes is easier said than done. within the primary place, wholesale jewelers need to be liquid to secure their supply. they can not buy any piece of jewelry if they have no means. Once you understand the business of wholesale jewelers, you'll realize why the jewellery of your choice can either be too expensive or readily affordable.
