Exciting things are happening at our favourite local independent business LoveOne. Over the summer, while owner Cathy Frost was enjoying her well deserved summer holidays some hardworking builders added a beautiful staircase, now as i’m sure you all know, stairs must lead somewhere and that’s true here too! LoveOne now has an upstairs! 2 new first floor rooms, one showcasing retro and vintage homewares and more furniture! And a back room, now home to the talented Maria of Mimibellatree. Maria will be offering very affordable craft workshops in her new cosy surroundings. You can find a workshop list with dates and prices on her website.

Cathy is delighted with her new floor, new stock and new ventures in offering workshops at LoveOne. Things just keep getting better down this end of town, other independent businesses unique to Ipswich on St Peter’s Street include…
