It all started one sunny day in August 2005 with a simple stall on Broadway Market London E8.

In 2008 they opened there first shop in an attic at 146 Columbia rd and in the Summer of 2010 they moved to the ground floor shop of 158 a Columbia rd. Although they work in separate disciplines their work compliments each other beautifully. 158 Columbia Road is decorated in their signature vintage homemade style. Hand embroidered bunting, vintage petticoats and decoupage picture frames hang in the window an invitation almost to go back in time. Inside a traditional kitchen dresser stands adorned with an array of in-housed made enamel plates and jewellery, journals and covered gift boxes lay on lace edged clothes covering vintage tables. Bespoke made to order cards, are the perfect personal gift as many other items in the shop. A sampler with a poem or an enamel name necklace made for a special occasion, date or event. These items can even be customize during your visit if you stumble across us on a quiet day. These items can also be made in the workshops, by request, perfect for a trendy east end hen party. This shop encompasses the warm feeling of discovering a one off.

Jessie and Buddug have mastered the combination of personalisation and vintage seamlessly alongside each other.

Below some memories from our old shop....

AND SARA DRINKWAter wrote Meandering down the ever-busy Columbia Road market on a Sunday morning, coffee in one hand, and breakfast bap (heavy on the HP sauce, please) in the other, I found a great shop. I'd seen some of their necklaces before, last year, at Broadway market, but lost their card, so I was very pleased when, lured upstairs by an embroidered apron,

I found Buddug Humphreys and Jessie Chorley's sweet, scruffy little place: An Alice in Wonderland den of bunting, prams, papier machrt, tin handbags and handwritten love letters, it's one of the most interesting looking shops that I've ever seen, a labour of love and a perfect mirror for their stock. I could quite happily live there:

The two girls, who met as jewellery students in Wales, sell personalised necklaces, decoupaged dressing table tins, odds and ends of clothing, delicate china tea cups filled with dusky pink wax to make perfect boudoir candles, and plenty more besides.

I forgot my camera so didn't get shots of my absolute favourite items; a sweet, slightly scarred tin handbag from the 50's; a tiny, heavy old perfume bottle on a chain; and an Art Deco watch necklace

 

And Mr Nicholas wrote after using the shop for his bands album cover.......

Climbing up the rickety wooden staircase in one of the gorgeous old houses on Columbia Road, we had just rolled out of the pub opposite to do our photo-shoot in Jessie Chorley and Buddug Humphrey's shop. Everyone was instantly entranced by their surroundings.

Kind of like Dennis Severs house meets Alice in Wonderland, it is a little trip into an imaginary past. It's filled with curious artefacts that they have collected and with the jewellery, furniture and art that they have made, and it feels less like a shop than like a tiny museum, or perhaps the secret playroom of a long-lost aristocratic girl of the 19th Century. It also has a lot of very good light for the photos which comes in through the big old windows, and everywhere you stand you are surrounded by amazing things. This is definitely somewhere you should wander into one afternoon and definitely a wonderful space for taking promo pictures or for many other different uses. Beautiful, eccentric and very, very cool indeed.
