These were an interesting little buy last week.
A group of three vintage handmade toy houses.
They’re constructed of ply around a solid block of wood – then painted.
We’re not sure when they date from, although they obviously have a bit of age – 1940s/50s probably.
We love these naive toys and folk art.
Probably made by dad or grandad for a young child… very sweet!
Just for once we’re not going to insist that H is for Home. This week H is for Houses.
We were very pleased to take delivery of these lovely doorstop houses recently.
They’re part of the current collection of Somerset-based artist & textile designer, Sarah Nicol.
Sarah has been inspired by travels in Spain, Africa, Asia & America. This collection is influenced by a journey she took through Oregon in the Western United States.
She produces textile artworks, keepsakes and functional pieces such as these adorable doorstop houses.
Each doorstop is handmade and unique, with a quaint, folk art feel.
They come filled with sand & ready to use.
