Why are we here?

Whenever we looked for things for our home, or went out to buy presents, we could never find quite the right thing. Everything we came across was cliched or boring. We thought we couldn't be the only ones in the same position....

So we thought we would set up shop and offer things that were a bit different, things that you don't normally see, even on the net without a lot of time-wasting searching. Things that show you have your own taste, rather than that of the major High Street stores.

What do we do?

Our aim is to offer things that are unusual, quirky, sometimes unique, always high quality. Some of our items you will either love or hate; some will make you laugh; some will evoke memories; and hopefully, some will be a 'must have'. Most of our items will be made of traditional materials in a traditional way, but we will also include anything else that we happen to like!

We concentrate on items for the home, or for special gifts, that are a bit out of the ordinary. At any one time, we might be offering Wooden Boxes, Candlesticks, Music Boxes, Crystal Balls, Tapestries, Wooden Toys, Chess Sets, Small Musical Items, and much, much more.

We also have a section - changing through the year - dedicated to things we call 'Seasonal Traditions'. These are items for Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, Hallowe'en and other festive occasions, which are more traditional. Not only will they remind you of Christmases past, but they will also last longer than most of the items on sale elsewhere.

If you see an item that you like, but is not quite what you want, why not let us know, and we'll see if we can find it for you?

Please see our shop or our 'My World' page for all the payment, postage and packing details.
