Run by Rachel and Jamie from our home in the British countryside The Dorothy Days - We believe in beautiful, practical and long lasting items which are unique and a joy to own

Hello! We are Rachel and Jamie and together we run The Dorothy Days. We believe in beautiful, practical and long lasting items which are unique, a joy to own and will be treasured for many years to come. This is central to everything we do and bring you in the shop whether it is the hat which becomes a favourite wardrobe staple or the craft supply that you will turn into something beautiful and unique item to treasure. In a world of excess and waste, we strongly believe in buying better and buying less. We live by this philosophy ourselves and with what we bring you in our shop. We love what we do and are very much lead by our creativity and what sparks our interests and brings us joy to make. We have recently moved to our dream home in Cornwall, UK to raise our two children; Iris and Vivienne. We love that running our creative business allows us the freedom to be together as a family and hope to raise our children mindfully, in harmony with nature, and with an eagerness to explore our natural surroundings. Please do pop by on social media to come and say hi and to follow what we are up to and what is coming next for the shop.

Final day of our BIG studio clearance sale! These ones are all 100% wool so will keep you the warmest in this chillier weather 🍂🍁.

These ones are all test knits/ samples and end of line colours so have big reductions just to clear them out our studio.

You get a bargain, we get some room 😅🥰!!

This week has been all about Santa hats!

Everyone seems to be shopping earlier this year. Has anyone else noticed that?

Have you bought anything for Christmas yet? 🎄🎅🏼

This hat has been worn by our daughter for THREE YEARS 🎃! She has worn it on all her adventures (it is the cutest thing ever seeing a little pumpkin climb a tree or slide down a hill in the mud 🎃🥹!)

Wool is naturally tough, warm and practical. It is literally what nature designed it for 🐑.

When we talk about buying fewer, better things, this is exactly what we mean. The wool keeps her dry when it rains, keeps her warm when it’s cold and can be worn again and again, survive a child’s adventures and still look remarkably like new!!

If you were to look closely you might see a few tiny bits of twig and moss 😂 evidence of all the fun she has had wearing this!

Something makers don’t often talk about is how much trial and error go into making something new. We honestly have so many test knits, samples and experiments.

And, sometimes the only way to see through an idea is to physically make it and make a few. Step back. Then review it.

That’s what I did with this idea 💡I knitted up some samples to see what I thought. They were cute and I liked the concept but it just didn’t feel quite right. So I changed it, tweaked it and improved it until I came up with something I am OBSESSED with 😍.

It sometimes takes that trial and error to get to that stage.

But, what do you do with those samples?! Normally they just stay in a box in our studio but, we have decided to do a massive sample sale this week which means we are selling off these test knits super cheaply.

It’s win win. Someone gets a 100% wool hat for cheaper than it would take to make it 🤪 and we get a happy customer, space back in our studio and a new product to launch!

Come and have a look what we have on offer. Everything between 50-75% off 🥰
