The iron are nails, used for nailing floorboards.

Love that blog.

So do i....the woman who works in the shop is great. But the shop itself is expensive ..lots of German Fat Lava,Scandinavian and American but i would say twice the cost of the UK. Mind you i always visit

Thanks I will check them out

Google images " flickriver Marc Weinstein Wall Sculpture II " and you'll see it.
