The Directory for Thomas’s London : Lockdown Finds

Lockdown Finds

Recommended....

During the lockdown we have come across lots of interesting, mainly smaller companies, which we have used ourselves, and recommend to Directory readers. They include:

Jette Interiors

Jette can help with residential, commercial and rental interiors projects, room updates and styling. She has a good eye for colour, is easy to work with and will ensure your project is delivered on time and within budget.

At the moment she is encouraging us all to embrace the new Pantone Colour of 2021, Illuminating which is a vivid canary yellow.

Directory Offer: Free 30 minute Zoom call for the first 3 people to get in touch.

This genuine New Zealand honey comes directly from the bees to you. It has completely natural anti-biotic, antiseptic, antifungal and antiviral properties which are believed to be up to 100 times more powerful than ordinary honey. It can be taken raw from the spoon, in smoothies and with lemon and ginger in hot water, and can be eaten as you would any other honey, on porridge and toast.

As the FT says New Blood Art "Offers bargains to those looking to invest in fledgling artists who have yet to make a name for themselves."
