These words
are music to my ears, delight to my eyes, and the promise of happiness to my hands. Especially when written loud and clear in the beautiful and classic Johnston's Railway Type on a deep, deep purple fascia on a brand new yarn and haberdashery shop.
Mrs Moon (named after the the poem by Roger McGough) has just opened in St Margaret's, near Twickenham. Susan and Karen who own it are sisters with four young children apiece and they have brought a delightful style to the place; it's a mix of modern, vintage and quirky with fantastic wallpapers, colourful yet calm and, just as you would hope from the words outside, full of fabulous yarn and haberdashery.
If I were a local, I'd be thrilled to have Mrs Moon on my doorstep. I'm thrilled even though I'm not really a local, as this place is exactly what knitters and sewers need. It is real, live music to our ears.
