The book is proving nicely at the publishers and should be baked by October. Pre-orders on amazon, for the mother-in-law who has everything! #breadboard #vintagebreadboards #prospectbooks #nichemuseum

Dispairing of capitalist exploitation of workers, Ruskin supported his local Mechanics Institute to enrich local copper miners’ lives. Courses included woodcarving. You know where this is going. Did they make breadboards as part of the course and for sale? The carver of this cabinet, embellished with vine and floral panels, could well have turned his hand to motifs on the round. Attributed to the ‘Coniston School of Woodcarving’, it offsets Ruskin’s own wall paper design rather well. #breadboard #brantwood #coniston #schoolofwoodcarving #woodcarving #ruskin

Catherine Lock visited incognito. Never know who is coming through the door! H&G is where the boards first got an airing in 2009. #breadboard #thenewcraftsmen #homesandgardens #airbnbexperience #interiordesign #choppingboard #kitchenalia #creamtea #museumlover #baking
