Love this shop for its quirky and interesting items to buy. From mugs to jewellery, pictures and ornaments, it's a delightful shop! Give yourself a budget, otherwise you may buy more than you intend!!

Jane was super helpful when me and my partner still had gift vouchers from last year and were looking to use them with a specific artist. She gave us lots of help and was very friendly and communicated regularly! Thank you Jane :)
