A recent business relocation to Oxford is Vonnie’s wonderful luxury linen business “Milford House” After 10 years in Matakana, Vonnie moved down to Oxford, lock, stock and barrel. Milford House is a delightful country cottage type of building full of linens, embroidered items, children’s clothing, and all sorts of interesting textile items. Fragrant white roses frame the path into the shop, and I wandered around the rooms the rooms full of interesting stock. This friendly owner welcomed us into her pretty shop, and I noticed she was busy doing wool embroidery on a blanket.

Pretty smocked dresses and embroidered kiddies clothes would make any besotted grand-mother reach into her purses to buy a little something for her darlings. Little knitted jumpers and hand embroidered woollen cot blankets also line this room of the shop, and I noticed a couple of cot quilts here too.

All set for a good night’s sleep
