Phil Shaw’s wonderful works can now be found at Lutyens & Rubinstein Book Shop, 21 Kensington Park Road, London.

Lutyens & Rubinstein is the perfect book shop. Run by literary agents Sarah Lutyens and Felicity Rubinstein, the shop opened two weeks ago in Notting Hill and contains a cleverly edited but expansive range of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, graphic novels, children’s classics and coffee-table tomes. The shop was designed with the curious in mind – tea and coffee served in bespoke china encourages idling, as does the discovery of tiny figurines hidden in the shelves. We loved the exclusive range of eau de toilettes by NY company CB Perfume. In The Library smelt exactly of its description – “leather bindings, worn cloth and a hint of wood polish”.

AFRICA REVISITED: Private View 19 November at Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery at Charlotte Street, 6.30 – 8.30 pm.

Made primarily from old magazines (and as a feature they remain obviously so) they are an alternative – lacking the implications of the ‘real thing’ and incorporating modern ideals of recycling and conservation, with a touch of humour thrown in too! Individual pieces contain ‘recycled extras’ for added realism. I am friends with my village farrier who supplies me with horse hair and the occasional equine tooth.

Wednesday night saw the opening of Caroline Bullocks charming new show at 28 Charlotte Street. The new collection of delicate naive paintings express beautifully the artists personal thoughts and observations. With a twist of humor in places (take note of the Duck House) this delightful show is a rare treat not to be missed.

The show runs until 14 November at 28 Charlotte Street.
