Gift tokens
We commissioned a beautiful water colour of our sales area by Ishbel McWhirter to use as a card for our gift tokens, which includes Sue with her Tibetan terriers Jammu and Lhalu.
Ishbel McWhirter paints in Hampstead and in her Anglesey studio overlooking the Menai Straits and Snowdonia, a panorama that has fascinated and inspired her recent work. “The child's unerring, uncorruptible eye (that) was hers from the beginning and is with her still.”
