ChiCho Bello

Today's shop feature is on the beautiful ChiCho Bello, another reason why to visit Farriers Centre. I've already mentioned Farriers, Harridans and High Tea that make this centre so special and ChiCho Bello only adds to this. ChiCho Bello stocks a variety of unusual and beautiful decor pieces. You'll find gorgeous lighting and furniture and all sorts of smaller pieces, perfect for adding that personal touch. It's another great place for gift buying, I'm loving all their ceramic jugs!

High Tea

Hello friends, did you have a great weekend? I had a relaxing one so I'm feeling ready for the week ahead. It's a bit grey and gloomy here today and I so wish I could be having coffee and cake at High Tea, reading a new glossy mag and pretending I'm on holiday! Sounds good doesn't it?! High Tea is a lovely little coffee shop in Farriers Centre (which I featured last week). High Tea serves delicious breakfasts, light meals and cakes and is the perfect escape from a busy day. Sitting outside at one of their tables, with the scent of jasmine and sounds of water from the fountain, is pure bliss!

Farriers Centre

Tucked away unassumingly off a rather busy road in Plumstead, you'll discover Farriers Centre. Stepping through the ornate gates into a beautiful garden one finds a haven of peace and quiet, a few decor gems, an estate agent, hairdresser and fabulous coffee shop. Today I'll feature Farriers and Harridans and next week I'll feature another two lovely places in this centre, ChiCho Bello and High Tea. It's too many photos for one session! This is a definite must visit though, so make a note of it!

First up is Farriers from which the centre gets it's name. Farriers is a haven of French furniture, lighting, decor and gifts. Plenty of glassware, chandeliers and mirrors to satisfy your craving for glamour...

One of the other decor shops in the centre is Harridans, which I've actually featured here before.

Harridans is another great place to visit for lovely gifts and homeware. You'll find colourful quilts, lots of earthy elements and plenty of smalls to take home with you...

This is the perfect place to escape to for some decor inspiration and a light lunch or tea, you almost feel like you could be somewhere in Italy or France!
