I bought this amazing 18th Century Toile at an antique market a few weeks ago - its all patched up using different miss match pieces and is covered with holes and stains, but I totally love it. Toiles are pretty hard to find, so I was over the moon.
This little fella had made his way into my flat a week or so ago - before setting him loose, I got a few pictures. I am a big fan of Robert Thompson, the furniture maker who used to carve a mouse into each of his pieces. I remember coming across his work for the first time in York, when I was about 12 or 13 - there is a building close to york minster its main doors were made by Robert Thompson.
