mad about margot

margot the beach hut makeryWhen I heard the name Margot, my first thought was of The Good Life.

I used to love that programme. Barbara Good is the reason I always call dresses “frocks”. I wanted to be just like her.

But I also used to love Margo Leadbetter, the Good’s next door neighbour, with her snobby ways and constant attempted one-up-womanship.

However, I have to say, I love this Margot more.

East Beach Studios, WorthingMargot is the brainchild of four talented makers, Elbojojo, Geoffrey & Grace, LouLou Tyler and Made By Sally Whiting.

They have come together to set up shop in a beach hut in Worthing, selling their makes and offering workshops.

To browse, to buy, to chat – and just to admire the general loveliness on offer.

Or stop by Margot’s Facebook page, or visit her inhabitants online (links above – just click on their names).

There’s also lots more about Margot on Geoffrey & Grace’s lovely blog.

As you can probably tell, I’m just mad for Margot. ♥

  1. I love your blog but the font makes it difficult to read so I often skip what you’ve written in favour of just looking at the pictures, which seems a bit of a shame as I know I am missing out! Making the text a darker colour would probably help. It’s a lovely font but not very reader friendly 🙁
    BTW I’m on the South Coast and my brother lives in Worthing, so I might have to go see Margo in person!

    • Oh, I’m sorry to hear that about the font, bamcrafts. I got a shock actually when I saw my blog on someone else’s laptop recently – my fonts didn’t appear, as their machine obviously couldn’t see them (although they are all google fonts and supposedly viewable on any website) and the blog looked completely different – not good at all.
      If you have a mobile device the blog looks different there as it has a standardised responsive theme – the fonts and layout are all simplified when viewed on a tablet or smartphone and might be easier to read that way perhaps?

  3. I fell in love with Margot for the first time on Saturday and it’s every bit as gorgeous as the above photos show. The sea was sparkling and glistening, Margot was dazzling in hues of gold and sunflower yellow. A true delight and a perfect place for buying a One Off gift…..whether it’s for someone else or yourself. Margot is Magic. Fact.
