MOTHERS DAY!!!

Hi everyone! Hope you had a fabulous time over Easter! I should have spent more time searching for the Easter Eggs instead of eating them!

Mother's Day is just around the corner and I've prepared some lovely photos to show you a little of what's in store for Mum. Tea anyone?



Cheers Merita xx

DESIGN DOCTOR THE SHOP HAS ARRIVED!!!




Let me introduce myself, my name is Merita Mannings; nice to meet you! My little shop, Design Doctor, opened about eight weeks ago with not much fanfare ( but with lots of love) in Minerva Road, Herne Hill. Why Herne Hill, you say? Well, my children walk up to the shop from the local primary school and I thought the residents would certainly enjoy some Fun and Functional Design! I come from an Interior Design and Mother of Four background, with a belief that your home should be filled with things that make you smile. I’ve asked a few of my wonderful customers to help me describe the ambience of the shop; “a welcome relief to have something quirky and fun, stylish with a great mix, I’ve seen your products in the latest magazines and online, cheeky, cute, different, I know some of your Aussie Designers, vintage inspired, great graphic design, it’s like having a market right here; I LOVE EVERYTHING!” I appreciate the welcome I’ve received and I warmly invite You in to view our special mix of Homewares, Giftware, Lighting, Stationary, Jewellery, Handbags, Clothing and Accessories. Lots of what you’ll find can be traced back to their beloved Designers, some of which are Proudly Local and others from France, America and Sweden. Other bits and bobs, new and vintage, are sourced simply because we love them!  There’s also a little play nook for the children, we giftwrap (although I need some practice) and you may even witness a spinning top demonstration. Design can be fun! Oh, I’m also venturing onto Facebook and yes I promise to update my blog! Kind Regards, Merita!
