I was completely passionate about dolls and doll's houses when I was a little girl. In fact, I still have several boxes of doll's house furniture carefully saved which  I hoped to give to my own daughter one day - except I had two sons and neither has given me a granddaughter yet!

I've never taken my passion into doll collecting as a grownup - but these enchanting handmade cloth dolls with beaded and embroidered faces in the window of D & Me at 309 Brompton Road in London's Brompton Cross could easily make me change my mind.

But then, it's not surprising, as D & Me is the new home of what was one of my absolutely favourite Notting Hill shops - One Vintage - which had not only the most amazing vintage dresses, but one of a kind pieces made of vintage and antique fabrics. For any crafty/fashiony/vintage loving person it was a dream come true.Created by by sisters Diane Metta and Marcelle Metta-Symons, it's one of London's must sees.

And their website is enchanting, too. www.onedandme.com
