Day Trip




A couple of weekends ago my boyfriend and I took a day trip to Blackrock because the Makers & Brothers duo, Jonathan and Mark Legge, were having an open house in their shop aka "the shed".



Next to the shed, James Carroll, one of the shop's makers, was doing a carving doing a carving demonstration. He was carving legs for his stools.


The inside of the shed had all of the beautiful objects for sale. I loved the brown paper and string hanging on dowels ready for gift wrapping. There was also delicious lemon cake and elder juice to snack on while admiring the items on the shelves.


My boyfriend took some time to say hello to the Legge family dog.



The swing by Toys Pure was hung up to be tried out. The shed is tucked in a shady corner of the Legge brothers' family property. I love the lights strung up between the trees and the old stone buildings. It feels like a secret garden.


I wasn't able to leave without buying something so I bought an enamel tumbler by Falcon Enamelware in the beige and grey combo. I think I'm going to plant a small succulent or cactus in it.
