'Nanadobbie!' What kind of a name is that?' You may have asked, passing one of the newest shops on Church Street. Of course, there's a story: run by father and daughter team Mike and Alys Dobbie, the shop opened in January at the same time as Alys' grandmother passed away and so is homage to the original 'Nanadobbie'. Selling furniture, glass and ceramics, Alys says she hopes to sell good quality, original mid-century, modern design at affordable prices, adding 'Stoke Newington is the hub of the creative and artistic life of North London, I hope I can live up to Church Street standards!' N16 welcomes her enthusiasm. www.nanadobbie.com / This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
