But the question is - would you use one?
I need to know if it's worthwhile getting them in!
It might be the perfect gift for the cook in your life (that could be you!) or the gift for someone who has everything (apart from a herb stripper ๐)!
Let me know what you think in the comments! Suzi โ๏ธ x

Question! Should we stock these herb strippers?
I asked the lovely Old Rossland Pottery to make one especially for me & this was their prototype!
I absolutely love it & used it for coriander & parsley in last night's dish (cod with chickpeas & chermoula - see the end of the clip).

Morning!
I've been asked a few times recently for brooches so when I was at my bench this week I had fun making these 2 sterling silver brooch pins.
The 'spiral roots' can be worn with the spiral hanging free, allowing movement, or with the pin overlapping and fixing it in a static position.

I thought I'd share this collection of Abbie Lois prints as they make me so happy.
They're all absolutely beautiful & the folklore stories which inspired each piece are so interesting & are included with each print.
We've got all of them in store & online (sunshineno1.com/search?q=Abb...).

It's outdoor weather at the moment and we've got a great range of enamel mugs for those garden drinks, picnics, outdoor swims or camping trips!
Also just in is a brand new steel mug with that West of Scotland refrain - 'b*st*rd midgies'! Made me chuckle ๐คญ!

Laura of Love Me Again dropped in more of her fab spoons recently - 'tw*t' is always 1 of the most popular choices ๐!
Once her kids are back at school she'll drop in more, including sweary ones, which seem to go down well ๐คฌ!
