Terribly run website. I’ve not been paid for a product I delivered promptly and Isabelle hasn’t replied to 3 emails asking about payment.

Lovely shop with unusual locally made gifts from local artists and designers. Great for unique presents for hard to buy for relatives - my mum loved her earrings!

This is a beautiful independent shop packed full of great items from local artists and makers. An unmissable shop if you are looking for a gift, or a treat for yourself. A real gem on the high street.

A jewel of a shop, selling hand made items from local artists. So nice to see unique items instead of the usual mass produced things. Great for presents, cards, and decorative and practical household items.
