Thing People Series

Potter Shannon Garson's favourite teapot by Jane Sawyer

I'm a 'thing' person. I don't have heaps of possessions, and only a few are very important to me. But they do matter. In an age when so many things are easily within reach, it can be a struggle to understand why some things are more important than others. 'Thing People' is a series of occasional interviews with interesting folk about their beloved objects and the stories behind them.
