Lovely day, lovely pots

I'm sure it wasn't mean to be a hot day today, but it's been great.

Tomorrow we are going to do a delivery to Robert Thompson's Mouseman up at Kilburn in North Yorkshire.

"Robert (Mouseman) Thompson (7 May 1876 – 8 December 1955) was a British furniture maker. He was born and lived in Kilburn, North Yorkshire, England, where he set up a business manufacturing oak furniture, which featured a carved mouse on almost every piece."

The workshop still produces highly sought after furniture and a few years ago opened a visitor's centre and tea room. Although these are closed at the moment the workshops are still working on orders. We have been supplying their gift shop for years with pottery featuring mice and before the lockdown they had placed an order. I got a phone call last week saying they wanted to take the order now, and  they wanted to have some "signature pieces" to display on their tablkes and dressers etc. 
So today I have been packing up their order.


We feel very privlidged to supply such a well known shop. www.robertthompsons.co.uk
