A treasure trove
The tiny Linen Cupboard, about 10 square metres in size, is a real treasure trove. It has the well-earned reputation for stocking the gift that is right for every occasion, from Irish linen teatowels with irresistible designs to scented oils and handmade scent pots. The smaller shop is staying open with the same name, even though the larger shop has opened. It will stock more of the popular lines and will specialise in an extended range of kitchen accessories, ) says Margaret George. Dominique Wing, will run this shop. You will be sure to find unusual gifts. When you are lost for ideas for the perfect gift, you will find the answer here. Mrs George has the
Merivale franchise for Browns of Melbourne who make scented drawer liners, cushions, lamps, soaps, handcreams, tissue box covers and coat hangers. Then there are Fisba-Stoffels handkerchiefs, soap bags, herb sachets and cosmetic purses. American kitchen coordinates — oven gloves, pot mitts and kitchen towels sell well. Swiss and Chinese embroidered placemats and matching napkins are in great demand too.
More unusual are the Thai silk spectacle cases, jewellery rolls, lipstick cases and picture frames. But one of the most intriguing things of all are the vapourising rings that fit on a light and perfume a room.
