A Watercolour

February 01, 2015

Pink House Mustique - A Watercolour by Patsy Fisher. This is such a charming painting by our great friend Patsy (RIP). It must have been painted before the coffee shop was built in between the Purple House and the Pink House. The painting belongs to Henry Channon and is on loan to me as I now have the honour of holding shop!

Both boutiques were built by Arne Hasselqvist, but the gingerbread style and colouring was Johannah Alexander's idea and believe it or not took some persuading to be accepted by the Mustique planning committee of the day! Originally called 'Treasure Boutique' We renamed it 'The Pink House' in 2008. Along with Basil's Bar, it is possibly the most iconic building and certainly one of the most photographed on-island!

When deciding to start a diary, this seemed the perfect picture to open with.

Thankyou Patsy and Thankyou Henry!

A fine bone china dinner service has long been on my wish list of things to design so it gives me the greatest of pleasure to finally see it in production. Inspired by the palm fringed shores of Mustique I chose 'Coconuts & Palms' as my theme and the debut couldn't have been more appropriate, the occasion being Mustique's 50th Anniversary, celebrated with a tented, candlelit dinner for 400 under the palm trees along Dolly Beach on Mustique of course.

Patrick Lichfield took a fabulous shot of the island's children more than 20 years ago. During the 50th Anniversary celebrations we thought it would be fun to reenact this photo with the next generation.

After dinner Fireworks over Basil's Bar. Quite spectacular and just what we needed to get us up from the dinner table and back down to the bar for a rare treat indeed.
