More than impressed by my first ever visit to Lewes yesterday – what a delightful town.
It was super to cross paths with so many positive people, bursting with enthusiasm for art and interiors.
Thrilled to catch up with the lovely Sue at Capella in High Street. Sue and her daughter Catherine sell a fantastic range of stylish furniture, home accessories and all sorts of gorgeous bedding at their spacious store, including this beautiful Woodland comforter (pictured below) from Bianca Lorenne.
Have to say, I couldn’t resist a sneaky Capella purchase – it’s going to be the ideal present for a special person.
Nina, owner of The Laurels, also located in High Street, is doing a fabulous job of bringing the sunshine indoors with her bright and breezy selection of clothing, footwear, homewares and children’s gifts – another wonderful shop.
Across the road, IEKO not only boasts an eye-catching window display choc-a-bloc with vibrant lampshades, inside, the shop is crammed full of soft furnishings and furniture.
Lewesiana with its stunning floral displays, was the ideal spot for a whistle-stop cup of coffee before heading back to Chichester.
Thankfully, en route to the car, I made a last-minute gem of a discovery in the form of Chalk Gallery in North Street. This is a superb showcase for 20 devoted and talented local artists who collaborate to promote their work – just fantastic.
Plenty of inspiration on what turned out to be a fabulous spring day. Lewes – I’ll be back. 🙂
