Mrs Jones is a cornucopia of nice things to look at and buy. We got quite carried away taking photos here and we’ll let them do most of the talking.

This is a quality shop, right (say that in a cockney accent please). There’s a jolly fine collection of Crown Lynn that takes up much of one wall in the back room.

Everywhere you look are highly covetable pieces of art that we, for one, want to buy.

A 1970s New Zealand dining table and chairs. And just look at that photographic print on the wall to the left - can you just imagine that in your living room. Oh my!

The walls are just clad in art - they’ve got a distinctive style in here. And it’s very good.

In the book alcove we spy barkcloth duffel bags. we rub our eyes in disbelief, but it’s true. There they are in broad daylight right next to a picture of a sheep from Onehunga.

Each of the eight sub-rooms has been decorated to set off its contents. One might note the rather reading room -esque wallpaper above.

We liked the vermillion and the cyan walls too. Especially with the hand coloured landscape photographs.

We spent ages and ages in her marvelling at all the lovely eye candy. Maybe you ought to to!
