“Talviturkki heitettynä!” 🇫🇮❄️➡️🌊

Finnish for “shedding the winter coat” — and consider mine officially launched into the lake!

First wild swim of the season: DONE.
2k under my belt: DONE.
Questioning my life choices for the final stretch: ALSO DONE.

Maybe 2k was a tad ambitious for Swim #1 because I am absolutely pooped.

I was also the only one without a dry robe, but while everyone else was wrapped up in technical gear, my hand-knitted cable cardi was doing a sterling job keeping me cosy post-swim. Turns out woolly knitwear is still undefeated.

And before anyone says it, woolly knitwear does not count as a winter coat. I wear my knits 365 days a year, thank you very much.

Winter coat officially shed. Knitwear? Never.

Wild swimming season officially open. Now excuse me while I recover from my own enthusia!

Well… Instagram decided my live wasn’t actually going to be live 😅 so here it is as a reel instead!

If you’re wondering what to do this Saturday, our little corner of the world has got you covered. It’s the first Saturday of the month, which means there’s plenty happening along the road!

✨ Craft Fair
☕ Pop-Up Café
🧶 Chat & Craft at the church next door

Our shop packed to the rafters with lovingly handmade gifts, crafts, cards and artwork from talented local makers

And if treasure hunting is more your thing, we’ve got a huge range of carefully curated pre-loved goodies too. From buttons to books, toys to teacups, yarn to jewellery, and just about everything in between!

Whether you’re after the perfect gift, a crafty chat, a bargain, or simply an excuse to mooch with a brew, we’ve got a spot waiting for you.

Pop down, support local, and see what treasures you can uncover. We can’t promise you’ll leave empty-handed… but we can promise it’ll be worth a browse.

New Maker Alert!

Fresh through the door and already causing a stir… the fabulous new card range from Mark at deafly designed has landed in the shop!

From birthdays and celebrations to those “just because” moments, there’s a card for every occasion. And yes, Mark’s legendary Capybara card is here too — because apparently we all need more capybaras in our lives.

One of the things we love most about our little makers’ community is connecting you directly with the talented people behind the products. If you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, Mark is happy to help with orders. You can get in touch with him via Facebook or WhatsApp, and find out which local events he’ll be popping up at next.

Shopping small means supporting real people, real creativity, and our amazing local maker community — and we’re absolutely here for it.

One look at these cards and we were already pairing them with gemstone pens. Good stationery decisions and positive vibes go hand in hand around here!

Pop in and have a browse… but don’t blame us if you leave with three cards (and a pen) instead of one!

❤️❤️❤️

Not all summer hats are created equal… ☀️

These stunning crochet hats and bags by Maxine are handmade in cotton and packed with clever little details. The hat brims have wire woven in, so you can bend, shape and style them exactly how you like — no sad, floppy brim situations here!

Perfect for beach days, garden pottering, market mooching and pretending you’re on the Amalfi Coast when you’re actually in Lincolnshire.

Handmade, practical and ridiculously pretty. Grab one before someone else swans off with it.

Well… that escalated quickly!

Our sellers turned up, rolled up their sleeves, and seemingly transformed us into a toy shop overnight. The turnout has been incredible!

If you’ve recently had a right good clear-out and now have room for some “new-to-you” toys, books, games and puzzles, these photos are definitely for you. There are shelves packed with pre-loved treasures just waiting for their next adventure.

From squishy toys and wooden puzzles to storybooks, games and everything in between, there’s plenty to keep little hands busy without the brand-new price tag. ♻️

And while you’re browsing, don’t miss our handmade goodies! Our gorgeous hand-knitted baby bootees and Mary Janes are back, and the crochet Converse are fully restocked too. Tiny feet have never looked so stylish.

And if you’re thinking, “I’d love more toys, but I’ve got nowhere to put them!” — don’t panic. All the shelving units featured in these photos are for sale too! So you can solve your storage problem and immediately fill the space with even more treasures. That’s what we call efficient shopping.

Fair warning: you may pop in for a £1 puzzle and leave with a shelving unit, three books, a wooden train set, a pair of baby bootees and absolutely no regrets.

The toy takeover is officially underway!
