In the corner of our living room there is a wooden oven and wooden sink. The girls were given these beautiful handmade children’s kitchen pieces when they turned two and they have been in use ever since. Over the years we’ve added some lovely extras too… The wooden fruit and veggies, a collection of crockery […]
A Fairy Story
