london: a cabinet of curiosities

Do make time to pop into Ben's shop (recently renamed Pentreath & Hall, due to Creative Director Bridie Hall becoming co-owner with Ben), where the pair's Cabinet of Curiosities, their annual selling exhibition, is running until next Saturday. This year the exhibition has a London theme (you'll find old maps next to bottles of HP Sauce) and has been curated in collaboration with the rather fab Bible of British Taste. The shop hosted a little party on Wednesday evening to celebrate the opening.

Bridie's (female) tortoise Winston made an appearance.

In fact she was the star of the evening, spending the whole night acclimatising to her absolutely incredible but totally bonkers new mansion home, designed and made by the artist Ed Kluz. I want to move in myself.
