new year - new stock

Is it too soon after Christmas to be talking about shopping?

I know I have been feeling a bit shopped out

but it does feel like the right time  - full of resolution for 2017 - to sweep out the cobwebs and choose a few additions to ring in the changes of a new year . . .

I have some website and blog related resolutions that might take a bit if time . . . 

but hey, I've got ALL year!!!

To start the year off I spent the morning playing with instagram 

and loading some new items onto my shop. 

 I thought I would share them here making it easier for you to have a "shouf"{look}

There is a lot of autumnal brown going on here so I thought we might need to throw in a bit of colour

in the shape of this wonderful bold and bright tassled vintage cushion.

Who can resist a generous tassle??

 the merchants would call as you walked past their shop in the medina!

It has been a process of some internal debate - but I have decided to venture back into the domain of merchants and makers selling their wares on this amazing world wide web of ours.

I have loved creating tea-in-tangiers, and immersing myself in pretty pictures and {at times} poetic words . . .  but over the last few months I have had this nagging pre-occupation to turn it into something a little more economically viable.

And so this - along with the fact that I am unable to walk past a carpet shop without touching, remarking, and generally wanting to re-home all the merchandise,

resulted in  . . .

For a collection of both traditional and contemporary Moroccan textiles and design.

 I am starting off in the realm of carpets but plan to broaden our horizons in the near future.

I cannot take any credit for the name.

Omar, who has taught me pretty much all I know about Moroccan carpets, came up with the name  when we were discussing the idea of me getting back into the market place.

He explained how in days gone by this was like a catch phrase for traders trying to catch the passers by - shouf-shouf, come and see . . . 

So please stop by

have a look

And share - your support would make my day!
