A couple of weeks back, I took a trip to
Packhouse near Farnham, Surrey, to look at all the pretty. It is a treasure trove of indoor and outdoor home items that are old or new, but all have that country cottage/shabby chic look. I so wish I had a garden for that Flamingo! Although probably for the best I don't as I can easily spend enough on the inside of my flat.
You can go from a nook of food items such as local honey and fudge, to a crannie with tables and sideboards. It is a huge 3 floors of small rooms and large rooms in this 400 year old building. I definitely had to restrain myself from buying ceramic vases, lamps, and storage boxes, so many storage boxes!
The farmhouse is the perfect place for all the stuff, I can imagine it must be a nightmare to know everything there is though! Handily on site there is
Cafe Fig, with some lovely food, just so that you can take a break in between shopping! There is also a kitchen and dining company and workshops space in separate units on the same site. So plenty of choice.
Some of it was a bit above my price and space range, I only have a flat after all. But a great place to look around and find something lovely for people as presents. I managed to come away with only one thing, an old cutlery tray, that I am going to use for some of my printing equipment - not for cutlery obviously!
Have you been to
Packhouse? It would take you a little time to go around, but well worth a visit. It reminded me of our
trip to Homebarn in Marlow, way back in 2013!
