A new hidden secret on the high street of East Dulwich!!

Recommended Posts

This week-end I fell in love with a tiny purely magical shop that has just opened in 51 Grove Vale at the bottom of Clothes For Causes charity shop. I often go to Clothes for Causes because of the high quality designer items that they offer and they have new arrivals every week.


But.. last Saturday I was invited to enter 'SASARA'S TARDIS' (like Dr Who's!) tucked at the back of the shop. I was gobsmacked by the beauty of the artwork and the charming personality of the owner helping... we became good friends in no time.


Sasara's Tardis is the name of Val Kelly's mini-temple.

Val's company's name is 'Sasara' and was created to market and trade her artwork.

She is a prolific photographer who's skills extend to (amongst other things) the making of astonishing frames.

She works with reclaimed wood and various material to give a splendid rustique sort of Shabby Chic effect; very much on the chic side. I just love them!


The photos in these frames are black & white and the collection is named 'THE STREETS: LONDON & BEYOND'.


Stunning photos, mainly of local landmarks in south east London including ED, Forest Hill, Bromley... but also some other parts of London, Paris, South East Asia, Caribean.. (great series of colourful greeting cards shot in Jamaica; the only coloured spots in the Tardis). There is a large aluminium framed photo of St Pauls which is phenomenal.

Some are small, others medium size and others very large - like this impressive Charlie Chaplin shot on the embankment which Val has placed in a classic Gallery type frame... Some photos are quite funny. You will see people, buildings, monuments, artists, animals... There is something for everyone. Oh and there is a photo of a large laid back dog taken by Val at 'Le Marche Au Puce' (Paris flee market) which will bring more than a smile on your face.


This is a unique place selling truly artistic work. The presentation is very professional. (Val has been trained by one of the top master framer in the UK). Ask her to show you the back of her framed photos and you will understand that you are dealing with someone who masters her 'job' to the highest standards.


It is not cheap but it is very affordable and considering the quality and standard of Val's work I believe that it currently is nothing but pure bargains.


I hope I gave you a hint of what to expect. Go and see by yourself, Val is very welcoming and will answer any question about herself and her work.. or the incidence of the high cost of butter in Lower Slobovia in our daily lives. Enjoy and maybe, like me buy a few gems before the prices go up!


Sasara's Tardis.. what a great name!

Where on earth do you guys come from?

What is odd in starting to post in a forum that you just joined?


It 'stinks really' you say.... what are you on?


Where is the moderator?


This is not a forum, it is a snake pit.

I may be new here but I am a senior citizen and would suggest that you refrain putting down offensive commments in this forum.


I love the work of this artist and would like to be able to post more about her and other local artists without being subject to distateful, vindictive and totaly unfounded 'bad intentioned' critics. This is weird.. do you realise how sick this is?


It is anti-social and should not have its place in this forum.


In the meantime I warmly advise you to visit Sasara's Tardis. You might feel the need to come back here and apologize... who knows?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
