Rawhide

A new shop has arrived in Hay. Sullivan's Carpets have moved out of town to bigger premises, so the little shop on Lion Street has been taken over by a lady who is specialising in animal products. So this means leather, and horn - there's a light fitting as you go into the shop that would look at home in a Prisoner of Zenda film - and silk, and honey based products, and to round it all off some gifty crockery with animal motifs. I rather like the mugs with little wild boar running round them. In the back of the shop is a magnificent throne made out of highly polished cow horns!
Athene English, who runs the long established leather and blanket shop at the top of Castle Street, has already been down to Rawhide to wish them well.
