I don't know how long Maison Bertaux has been running but I've been going there since the 1970s. I took these photos of it last weekend. It has recently expanded and been spruced up. I was on my way to a 'pearl knotting' course at 'The Bead Shop', just by 'The Ivy' restaurant. Maison Bertaux supplied me with a delicious petit déjeuner en route.









This is the first entry I have done by myself, with no help from anybody so it's quite a special moment! It also encourages me to start on my first 'knotted pearl' necklace. The day course was very enjoyable and I seemed to get the hang of it by the end. Practice etc.....
