Companion set of poker and shovel by blacksmith Michael Stanton |
Blacksmith Michael Stanton, who works under the name of Fraught Wrought, visited Handmade Happiness this week with these fine examples of his craft.
If I had a log fire I would love to roast chestnuts, or even (?) potatoes using his roaster or it would look great just hanging up in an old cottage.
I remember when every home had a companion set like the one above next to the fireplace. (By the way it hangs beautifully parallel, I've just put it on a sloping chair to photograph it.)
I have often struggled to remove wellies after being in the garden but this boot jack would help. Just thinking what a great man present it would be...
