OH BABY… YOU’VE BEEN KEEPING US BUSY! 🍼

I honestly couldn’t believe how quickly all our baby gifts sold… you’ve fairly been clearing us out!

Thankfully, Donna from Savvy Shopaholic has been busy and we’ve had a lovely restock of handmade money boxes in new designs. They’re so cute and make a gorgeous wee keepsake!

Our baby clothing section is absolutely packed to capacity too, and there’s plenty to choose from across our baby section:

✨ Clothes, bibs and blankets
✨ Teddies
✨ Nappy mats
✨ Newborn and christening gifts
✨ Lots of lovely baby accessories

We can personalise items too, for that extra special touch. If you’d like something for Christmas, please call in and get it sorted early. Handmade takes time, and our lovely makers are already being kept busy, so please don’t leave it until the last minute!

We’ve our wee crochet class on this evening, which means we’re open until 8pm! If you don’t get a chance to call during the day, pop in after work for a wee nosey and a bit of craic. There’s always something to tempt you!

A WEE BIT OF CHRISTMAS MAGIC…

Excited for this morning! We’ve the lovely Mags from Creating Retail Magic - Visual Merchandising & Creative Retail Consultancy joining us, along with other small businesses in Ballyclare, for some inspiration for our Christmas windows. My head’s already full of ideas, so goodness knows what I’ll be like after this.

Our lovely baker from Mums Traybake Treats has brought in all her usual yummies AND a gorgeous selection of homemade scones… as if choosing wasn’t hard enough already!

If you’ve time for a wee sit down, pop in and treat yourself to a C*D coffee and a sweet treat for just £6.50. Believe me when I say the coffee is amazing… although I can’t promise you’ll stop at one bun.

We’re still open from 10am as usual, so pop on in! There’s lots of lovely handmade Halloween goodies and beautiful smellies to get your home looking and smelling fabulous.

Open 10am–4pm. See you for a wee nosey and a bit of craic!

COASTING INTO CHRISTMAS!

Tanya from Coco Heart Crafts has been in restocking, and after her slate tiles went down so well, she’s now added slate coasters!

She’s had the men and work colleagues in mind this time… we all have at least one who’s a nightmare to buy for, don’t we?

These give you a few more wee options, and yes, they can be personalised too… Tanya’s not getting a rest anytime soon!

Honestly, I can’t believe how organised you all are for Christmas! Personalised orders have been non stop these past three weeks… I’ll be needing another order book soon!

It’s absolutely fantastic for our crafters, so thank you so much. Handmade and personalised really does make such a lovely gift, and with gifts from as little as £3, pop in and I’ll help you find something.

I just love seeing so many familiar faces and meeting lots of new ones too. Hearing “you’ve a beautiful shop” and “we’ll definitely be back” means so much, and that’s a credit to every one of my wonderful makers.

My wee shop has always been so much more than a shop… it’s a family, and you’re all part of it. A slightly mad family at times, but sure that’s half the fun 😂
