So quick like lightning…Patricia Gaye Tapp of ‘Little Augury’ blog, writes me to say she cannot bear the idea that I don’t have a satisfactory dustpan and she sends me to ‘remodelista’ for something quite chic in stainless steel - brilliant - but I like my cleaning products a little more ol’ fashioned for some reason. The pretty horsehair brushes though, they are spot on - and they link me to another site called Kaufmann Mercantile based in Brooklyn. It’s a gem can I tell you - or as you can tell from these photo’s.

And if my Marvis toothpaste is neither butch nor modern enough for you…this might suit! Couto in a beestinging yellow and black!

Or Botot in Anise flavor!! HOT!!
