Nation of Shopkeepers

Anna and I got back from Leeds today after installing the opening window display for Nation of Shopkeepers. The eagerly awaited cool venue of the North already has a killer line-up and will host a whole load of events unusual to a pub such as jumble sales. The brainchild of the team behind the Lock Tavern in Camden and the Amersham Arms in New Cross amongst others are bringing their quirky vintage style and laid back vibes to the North and we reckon it is well worth a visit after it opens on 23rd May. You can keep up to date with their happenings on their Facebook group. Here are a few work in progress snaps of us making bits and pieces for the window display. Who needs Kirsty Allsop to tell you that skip-raiding is one of the best pastimes! We've been doing it since day dot (plus finding things in front garden throw-outs and even just on road-literally like the bed headboard) As for flea markets, Deptford Market smashes it every time! Photos of the actual window to follow shortly.
