Nigel Moves in with Mary

Mary could not resist Nigel's offer to move in to Ray Mill in Manchester, after all his fantastic  collection of modernist furniture would only enhance Mary's smalls. So after the removal vans sped away it was time for a good old spring clean. Its amazing the treasures you find after such a move and the inspiration these provide.
Her favourite finds were the pale Blue Wedgewood tea cups, still fragrant from the the paper in which they had been wrapped for many a year. Her Great Aunt Mitzi had bought the treasured cups during her fist trip to England where she had stayed with Mary at her home in Stanhope gardens in Kensington. Mary's Aunt was rather fond of shopping, in fact shopping was all that she lived for, Liberties had never seen so much action and the bags flowed out of the shop doors and into Stanhope Gardens .  After a rather lengthy stay her great aunt finally said her good byes mainly because she could no longer fit in the house and with that she was gone, trinkets, china and all,  bar two tiny cups left perched on the end of her bed.

You can hire a selection of Wedgewood Blue Jasper from Mary.

The Beautiful Ray Mill

Mary was taking a stroll one day when she bumped into an old friend Nigel. They had often spent evenings down in The Bar at the Gold Room, talking dancing and sipping champagne, with the then young bar tender Lloyd. Nigel had spent recent times studying modernist furniture and building up a vast collection which he housed behind the green gates at Ray Mill. His friend Stanley had often loaned pieces for his films.  It was then that the prop house was born, Mary and Nigel were to join forces with their collection of fine furniture, glassware and lighting. It was truly a match made in heaven, and all the props are now available to put in your sets too...
