Hampshire &amp; Isle of Wight

<p>Great selection of coastal goods and art.  Love the fact that we have so much talent around our lovely island and close by on the mainland.</p>
<p>Obviously, living here in Seaview I am particularly taken with the gorgeous crab napkins by local  Monique Lucas (although particularly love her coral print aprons!) and also love the selection of art at the village Art Gallery.</p>



<p>We&#8217;re dreaming of sunny days by the water. Flying a kite along the cliffs, breathing bracing, restorative, salty sea air. Sitting on the beach and watching sailing boats bob by in the distance. Bliss.</p>



<p>Happily for those of us living in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight such seaside adventures are never far away. Until we can get out there and really have at them, dip a toe in the water with these cool coastal homewares from brilliant local makers and sellers.</p>
