Happy New Year !
We hope you had a great Christmas, and that Santa brought you everything that you asked for.
As you know, we’re currently closed while we recover from the Turkey and all those Mince Pies.
But Christmas isn’t quite over, and we still have a few Christmas bits and pieces in the shop. So we will be having a Sale when we return on Friday 2nd January. Come on down and get a bargain while stocks last (and before the elves take them home).
We’ve already started buying lots of new things for the shelves. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for all our new items

We recently took delivery of a small collection of Postcards of Bute, designed exclusively for us by the Pope twins, Liz and Kate.
Their adventure as artists began back at their mum and dad’s in the bedroom they grew up in, where they turned their beds into desks! They now work at Liz’s house in a small studio, that’s full to the brim with paints, collage papers, children’s books, sketch books.
Liz and Kate have created art together since leaving Stafforshire University in 2001. Coincidentally, that’s where David completed his degree in 1993, but that’s another story 🙂
If these postcards of Bute look familiar, you may remember the small poster and greetings card featuring more designs which they also designed for us last year.
