gorgeous cakes...


We have some lovely little cakes in the shop today! Beautifully decorated cupcakes and scrumptious brownies. All made by our local supplier "Backtastic". I guarantee the cakes are some of the best ever tasted, they keep for ages, and can also come gluten free (all flavours and varieties - we tested the coffee and walnut gluten free, my husband could not tell the difference!). We have a few in the shop this week to see how they go. If you are passing by and need a little cake for after school, or perhaps to take for coffee in the morning, pop in and and grab some whilst they are here.

Orders can also be placed for traditional cakes, loaf cakes and novelty cakes.
You can let us know what you would like at the shop and we can order for you
to collect at your convenience.

spring pastels

some gorgeous pastel coloured hydrangeas arrived this morning - they are so beautiful, the petals are in varying shades of lilac, pink and pale green, they are truly gorgeous. A few hand tied bouquets in the shop now ready to go!

we are back

the sun is shining on our first day back, and it prompted us to make up a few spring-like gifts, including mossed up hyacinth bulbs and old tom-pots - just gorgeous. Our new range of gifts is now available in the shop, lovely old wooden trays, shellfish boxes (perfect for the kitchen and garden), and some lovely vintage flower jugs. Pop in and browse our lovely new stock, with lots more to come soon!

Happy New Year

Just been to the shop for the first time since Christmas Eve! It looked very sad and empty. So what better time that to start re-stocking with some lovely new gift ideas for the spring, and to prepare the shop ready for our first day of opening for 2012, next Tuesday 17th January. We hope to inspire you with some lovely ideas for the home and garden, spring bulbs are certainly in abundance now, and we are buying in some lovely containers to plant them up in. So we look forward to seeing you all back next week for a new look to the shop, and we promise no red roses, silver twigs, or pine door wreaths!
