Sunday Market Shepton Mallet

A Sign of the New Town Street Times

At Starlight Studio Art Gallery & Juice Bar in Town Street, we have recently taken delivery of our new bespoke carved wooden shop sign. This was made by local Shepton craftsman Lee Keohane, pictured here with Brian Outten in an incredibly un-cheesy pose which is quite in keeping with the vegan/non-dairy juices and smoothies made here.

Lee can be commissioned to make bespoke signs especially for your requirements and works to a really high standard. He can be contacted on 07869 624170.

Meanwhile, Brian (pictured here with local advertising guru Lorraine Pratten (who runs the Tourist Information Centre in Shepton), has been creating another sign for the outside of the shop and has just put it up today. 

It's definitely not only his crazy printed shirts that are going to get us noticed from now on!

A chat with Niki - Nostalgia at No1

 Niki from Nostalgia at No1 looked lovely on Friday in her vintage roses, 
enjoying the sunshine and the new view of the Market Cross. 
(cobbles surrounding the cross, now finished)

It was a joy to hear that trade was picking up (after a slow couple of months for everyone) but what made the news more inspiring was hearing about Niki's loyal customers. Two lovely ladies travel from London, once a year, especially to visit Nostalgia at No1, Market Place and visit Shepton Mallet (only!) 

The ladies cannot find the quality and value for money in London and purchase many vintage goodies handmade by Niki. Each item is a individual, and made in vintage or antique fabric, using lace, trims and embellishments 

to create unique accessories, dolls,and gifts.

Glossy magazines often feature Niki's work and home, 
but it is her blog that finds most of her customers, 
including the two ladies from London. nostalgiaatthestonehouse.blogspot
