- At THOH we stand for conscious living; homeware and gifting that doesn’t cost the earth. But what does that really mean? It means the joy of slowing down the pace and not going along with interior trends, instead focusing on finding beautiful items for your home that will be loved and have longevity. This approach to interiors has a natural sustainable essence, where things are not thrown away quickly and there is appreciation of how items are made and the craftsmanship behind each piece. Creating a truly unique home where every corner has special prices you love and cherish. ✨
- I’m back 🧚♀️ We’ve been in Greece for a week, it’s been so nice to fully switch off and relax. Sometimes your body and mind really need to switch off don’t they?! We haven’t been abroad for 5 years so this time felt pretty special, especially with little Winnie with us too! Anyway back to shop life and ready to get into the swing of things! We have so much newness on the shelves. 📸 photo credit @rosiemaykelly - Rosie has blown my mind with her incredible photography skills.. She always makes the shop look beautiful!
- Slow Sunday’s. Collecting plant pots and herbs for the windowsill.
- And just like that we’re back in soup weather again. Do you collect mugs? I have a huge collection of handmade white ceramics each and every one of them bring me so much joy! Made by different makers but look so beautiful all together!
- Practical and eye pleasing. 👌🏻 Our magnificent sink tidies are back in stock. Keeping all washing up things neat and tidy by the sink.
- Simple, elegant and timeless. 👌🏻
- ONLINE NOW. 🤸🏼♂️ so many beautiful pieces online right now.
- Guess what’s coming back in stock very soon! Our @faulty.stone x @the.home.of.handmade collaboration raspberry range . Along with more of @faulty.stone collection! I’ll keep you posted when they will go online, but it’s probably going to be next Friday!
- Shelves are looking delightful. Mondays always start with dropping Winnie off at nursery and having a morning meeting to plan for the week ahead. How’s your Monday looking?
- A slow Sunday over here. The candles and Pjs are on and we’re not doing all that much… it’s blissful after a very busy July. The wonderful Freyja - Rose, geranium, mandarin & Orange is back in stock - It smells incredible.
- Bottoms up. This gorgeous vase has to be one of my favourite pieces in the shop. It really is a work of art… a forever piece.
- Little update on what we’re doing in the shop going forward. Social distancing will still be In Place in The shop. Limited number of no more than 2 in the shop at once. Masks are optional but if you would still like to wear one I will also pop mine on too. We will still be asking you to use the hand sanitiser when entering the shop and continue to wipe all touch points down throughout the day. Shops back open Thursday but I’ll be in today to pack up your weekend orders 👌🏻
- Sunday roasties or summer salads.. this dish has you covered!
- Oh my goodness we’re a finalist for @muddystilettos best interior store. Thank you a million times over for everyone who nominated me it really means the world. We’re up there with some gorgeous independent shops. Please head over to @muddystilettos to vote for us. If you nominated us your votes are not counted in the finals so please may you vote for us again. 🙏🏼 head over to @muddystilettos and the links in the bio. Thank you again so much I’m absolutely chuffed and so grateful for you guys who continue to support this little shop and all the wonderful makers that make it what it is! ✨💛 #shopsmall #shoplocal
- These are a few of our favourite things ✨
- The sun reflecting on our window this morning is just so beautiful. Conscious living - homeware and gifting that doesn’t cost the earth 🌏 I love the thought of choosing well and buying less. The idea of creating a beautiful sustainable home without compromising on it feeling luxurious and sophisticated. Buying more meaningful products that are loved and cherished. Building our homes upon things we genuinely love and that have been made with true passion. When we add these types of things into our home it really starts to feel individual and unique. #plasticfreejuly #slowmade #sustainablehome
- Conscious living - homeware and gifting that doesn’t cost the earth 🌏 Since it’s plastic free July I thought we should mention this award we got last year and have it on the grid. We are a plastic free shop, everything is considered from our displays, products and packaging. There’s still work to do on being zero waste but we are positively working our way and learning as we go along. Consciously choosing to understand the process of how things are made and the longevity of items as well as their carbon footprints. At THOH it’s important to us that the items we fill our homes with and the gifts we give to others can be beautiful without being seen as ‘hippy’. I love the thought of choosing well and buying less. The idea of creating a beautiful sustainable home without compromising on it feeling luxurious and sophisticated. Buying more meaningful products that are loved and cherished. Building our homes upon things we genuinely love and that have been made with true passion. When we add these types of things into our home it really starts to feel individual and unique. #plasticfreejuly #slowmade #sustainablehome
- Herbs on the windowsill 🌿
- A peek through the door. Don’t forget there’s 10% off everything in the shop and online (ends tomorrow night) plus a free gift with every purchase. #myshoplife2021
- Birthday celebrations 🎉🥳 A huge thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support over the last 3 years, especially last year. I am so utterly grateful for you all and I would not be here today without the support of our wonderful customers and Amazingly talented makers. The makers are the ones that make this shop so special! ✨ Use the code BIRTHDAYTREAT for 10% off online and in the shop. Plus there’s a little gift with every order. Thank you again so so much! 🙏🏼💛
- The shop turned 3 at the beginning of this month, although we’re a little behind in celebrating! Our celebrations start on Thursday - Sunday. Watch the space there’s going to be a few treats for you, both in the shop and online! ✨
- A shop full of beautiful homeware and gifts that are made to be loved and last. To become part of your home for a long time and add character and depth to your shelves. Our shop (and online) takes pride in selecting the most wonderfully talented makers to bring our customers unique products that are made sustainably with a whole lot of care and passion for each and every item created.
- My little bricks and mortar store. 💛 Opening hours - We’re open 10-5 Thursday & Friday and 10-4 Saturday. For me it’s all about creating a work life balance and that’s the most important thing right now so I can spend time being a mama too. The flexibility allows my creative mind to flow and be more free, which in turn makes me more productive and work more efficiently. Who said shops have to be open 7 days a week… (although you will find my online shop open 7 days a week 24/7) I’m going against the grain and slowing the pace down a little. ✌🏼 #myshoplife2021
- Say cheese! 😆 if you’re new around here I’m Alex and I’m the one girl band that runs this show. I’m the packer, wrapper, marketer, shop keeper, blogger, admin lady, customer service woman and everything else in between. 👋🏻 #myshoplife2021
- Sunny days make me smile. As do these gorgeous bud vases. Perfect for single stems cut straight from the garden 🌸
- Father’s Day gift guide. Sometimes it’s tricky finding the perfect Father’s Day gifts, so we have put a little guide together for you to find some inspiration. ✨
- The most useful basket you ever did see. Perfect for beach holidays, toys, blankets, books or laundry. We have many dotted around the house hiding all the things not so pretty. 🤪 shops open 10-4 today
- 🤸🏼 Back in stock 🤸🏼 our wonderful hand wash and moisturiser is back in stock. This stuff really does smell divine and leaves your body feeling nourished. We absolutely love it. On another note.. I’m obsessed with this @devolkitchens marble sink it’s so dreamy!
- This little lady turns 2 today 💛🥳 Sometimes I get asked why the shop is only open 3 days a week, and she is the answer. By opening for only 3 days it gives me the flexibility to spend more quality time with her. As everyone said these years are so precious and go by so quickly - and boom she’s 2 already 😱 I’m so fortunate that as my own boss that I can make this decision, and I know that’s not the case for everyone. However, as we all emerge from lockdown living I really do hope that the work/ life balance debate gets more coverage. One of the very few benefits of this pandemic has been that for many of us we have found a little bit more time to spend with the ones we love thanks to being able to work from home and I hope this is something we all have the option to do moving forward. Tech whilst wonderful in many ways, means we all work longer than ever and turn off less and less. So surely it’s right the working week evolves from Mon-Fri 9-5? We’re off to play and eat cake 🎂
- Hello! 👋🏻 Went off the grid and enjoyed the sunshine. Isn’t it incredible how good a bit of sun makes you feel?! We’re not open tomorrow - I’m out buying for the day. But back in the shop as usual Friday 10-5 & Saturday 10-4. 👌🏻
- I love to collect afew bits of older antique products. It’s lovely to give them a new lease of life and I really love how they insanely add character, charm and depth to a space. Whether that be a big old french farmhouse table or these cute little terracotta pots. Do you love mixing old and new?
- Loading a load of new products online as we speak. There’s cushions, throws, jewellery and ceramics all heading online shortly... I’ll keep you updated. It’s been a busy old week.
- The Sink tidier is back in stock 🤸🏼 One of the most useful and beautiful essentials you ever did see! It’s great for storing your dish clothes and brush and has a handy little drainage hole to get rid of any water. Genius 👌🏻
- Plantable children’s books. 🌿 Enjoy the story then plant your seeds and watch them grow. These have been really popular recently and now hopefully the frost has blown over we can get our outside planting done. 👌🏻
- Shelves are full of glorious natural products - perfect for gifting or little self treats. Shops open 10-5 today. Online is open always. 💛
- When the shop was covered in flowers 💐 We will be 3 next month and starting to plan a little party 🎉 this year seems monumental. Year 1 I opened the shop then got pregnant and suffered with sickness and overwhelming tiredness you may have found me asleep on the floor in the early days. Year 2 I had a new born in tow - running a business and working out how to be a mum was not easy. This year we’ve navigated a pandemic! Maybe this new year will be a little smoother sailing 🤷🏼♀️ but hey the rides all part of the fun and games though right?!
- It’s a wet soggy day out there today. Perfect kind of day for home baking and sitting watching the world go by. Shops open 10-4 today. These gorgeous vases are available online and in the shop. Perfect for any shelf or corner. 🧡
- Cosy corners. I absolutely love this wall colour mixed with our concrete vase and bright contrasting dried flowers.
- Face mask favourites. These clay face masks are a perfect little luxury. One of these little Jars should do up to 10 face masks - a little goes a long way and they leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed. Simple, honest and good 👌🏻
- You’ll find me faffing in the shop 10-5 tomorrow Golly, I can’t tell you how nice it is to spend full days in this place and to be able to talk to customers again.🤸🏼 #daysofsmallthings #worldofshopkeepers #consioushome #slowliving #slowhome #simplebeauty #simplebeautyseeker #stillswithstories #ofquietmoments #naturally_imperfect #natrualwellbeing #thesimpleeveryday #thelifestylecollective #theartofslowliving #dsliving #slowinterior
- 100% recycled plastic bottles - look and feel like wool. Mind blowing. Isn’t it amazing what we can create?! These are lovely and thick and perfect for wrapping up in when it gets a little chilly at night. Especially when we’re socialising outside.
- I don’t think I’ll take seeing people for granted again. How nice it is to socialise. This summer is going to be all about the garden gatherings and we are loving this chunky China range for all your food serving needs. Stick your roasties in them, your crisps, biscuits. Whatever your bringing out pop it in a chunky China dish. Effortlessly gorgeous 👌🏻
- Doors open | shops open. Here 10-5 today. Sunshine and no child means I’ve put on white jeans! Here’s to hoping they stay clean. Don’t forget there’s still free shipping online, ends this weekend ✌🏼
- Some of our favourite everyday items.. we use these bees wax wraps on the daily! Perfect to wrap up leftovers and pop in the fridge or kids snacks and sling in your bag. Perfect plastic free alternative. Simply wash and go again and again. Absolutely love the Emma Bridgewater prints too. Available online xxx P.s don’t forget to make use of the free shipping for everyone use the code FREE SHIP at the checkout ✌🏼
- FREE SHIPPING 💌 To celebrate the shop opening we’re offering free shipping online when you spend £20 or more. Just use the code FREE SHIP at checkout. Valid until 24th April xxx

- Today’s the day the doors to this little shop reopen. I can’t wait to be back in this space. However we still have some house rules to air on the side of caution and keep us all as safe as possible. 1. It’s compulsory to wear a mask so mask up peeps before you come in. 2. 1 person or a household/ bubble of 3 in at one time. 3. Please use the hand sanitiser before touching things 4. Enjoy shopping again ✌🏼
- One more sleep until the shop opens! Can’t wait to see you there over the weekend. Have you ventured to the shops or pubs yet? How are you feeling about the world opening up?
- CHANGE OF PLAN ✌🏼 Shops reopening FRIDAY 16th April Sorry folks, something has come up and I need to go to make sure I have the most perfect stock for you for reopening. I wasn’t sure if to go collect the the stock on Thursday or not as I’m so excited about opening. But I suppose what’s one more day and it will be so worth it!! 🙌🏻 sooo see you Friday instead of Thursday! Shops reopening day Friday 16th April.
- 4 days until the shop opens! 🤸🏼 This weeks going to be a good week. Good luck today to all my fellow shop keepers!
- best sellers 👌🏻 these mugs are perfect for any hot beverage. We’ve recently discovered the most incredible coffee @yourexhale. It’s soo blooming good. It’s freshly ground the day before it’s delivered to your door and you can smell the coffee as soon as it’s posted through the letter box! Our mugs and @yourexhale is the dreamiest combination!
- Upstairs area of the shops looking dreamy. This is the cosy space we used to host workshops but as we can no longer host our creative workshops we’ve made it an extension of the shop and I have to admit i LOVE it!! Popping to the shop to have a faff and mop the floor’s ready to reopen next week! Hope you guys have a wonderful Friday. 🤸🏼
- Bud vases and candles and concrete combinations ✌🏼 You guys have been loving all the newness online recently.
- Shops actually opening next week! 🤸🏼🤸🏼 Opening days will be Thursday, Friday & Saturday 10-5 for the time being as we ease back into normality! ✌🏼 Our first day back will be Thursday 15th April.
- Little shop. Here’s a snap of some of your weekend favourites. I love the mix of textures in this photo and love to mix up the textures in each room of my house using marble, concrete, velvet, wool, natural woods, ceramics and house plants. Personally I think the textures in a room is as important as the colour ways you choose. They really do add subtle focal points. 👌🏻
- I think Easter is my favourite holiday of the year. There’s less expectation than Christmas, and just more chilled where good food, family and friends are at the centre of it all. This year seems more poignant than ever as it’s the first proper weekend we can see our loved ones to sit around the table since Christmas and it feels so blooming good! I didn’t realise how much I missed it until we had friends round yesterday. We chatted so much we didn’t realise the time and they ended up staying for impromptu dinner whilst we all huddled round the chiminea wrapped up in coats. It was bliss. I hope you all had a good start to the long weekend. 🌿 P.s these mugs are available online x
- Can a sink tidier look anymore beautiful. One of those things you never knew you needed until you have it in your life. ✌🏼
- Shop update is now live. There’s so much loveliness on there. Go take a look. I’ll be in the shop 9am-10am tomorrow if anyone local wants anything for Easter. Have a lovely long weekend folks 🌿💛
- A little snippet of some of newness that will hit the website at 8pm tonight. 🌿
- Waiting to open the shop is like a small child waiting for Christmas to arrive. We will carry on opening Thursday-Saturday 10-5 for the foreseeable so our doors will open 15th April. 💛
- Sky’s blue, suns shining. 🤸🏼 I’ll be at the computer preparing the website for all the newness that’s to come on 1st April xxx
- Tis the season for bud vases! A perfect way to spilt your bunch of flowers around the house. 1-3 stems per vase is perfect 👌🏻 A little peek for what’s to come on our big online shop update on 1st April. 🌿
- Counting down the days to welcome you back into the shop. Who is ready for a bit of real life shopping?! 🙋🏼♀️ Snap credit @rosiemaykelly
- I’ve been a little quite on here recently. There seems to be so much going on behind the scenes and the juggle of doing it all is somewhat a struggle. Have you tried our @bareboneschocolate hot chocolate and chocolate bars. They are super delicious and a perfect Easter treat! In other news, I’ve just got off the phone to my grandparents and realised I can see them in real life next week and I’m so excited I could burst! 🧡
- Why do I loose my eyes when I smile 😆?! I was raised by strong women, it’s all I know. To hustle, work hard, be kind and stay humble. To carry on raising strong women and empowering them to believe they can accomplish anything they put their minds to. Someone once said to me you can’t have it all, somethings got to give. You can’t have the baby, the house the business, the time for yourself, and a social life of your own. Well that just added fuel to the fire and stuck with me.🖕🏼 yes I can. I just have to work blooming hard to show my daughter it’s possible and be the best role model she can have. Photo snap from @wavesofwonderphotography from her IWD portraits of some real life Wonder Woman of Leicestershire - if you’ve not checked her out yet, her photos are beautiful and blows my mind how amazing she is at taking photos virtually through your phone or computer! 🤯 shes magic!
- Oh lovely lady. 🍑 This is skill. To develop this kind of work takes time, dedication, hours of learning & practice. It isn’t just an end product it’s a journey. a development taking patience, pride and passion in the work. This is handmade. Completely unique with its own quirks. Isn’t she glorious! This lovely lady is sold now but we have another winging it’s way over to the shop soon. I couldn’t help taking a photo of her when I recommend @theflowerplant would help create the perfect dried flower bunch for this bottom. 🤸🏼♂️ I needed her on my feed!
- This house looks a mess, but hey, at least it smells glorious!! Burning candles like a crazy lady at the moment - anyone else?! 🤷🏼♀️ Thanks for the snap @enlivenuktri ✨
- Soon you guys will be able to actually come in the shop instead of shopping through the window. So much hope and happiness from last nights speech. And a real feeling of relief. 🎉
- Gift boxes are back! 🙌🏻 Ive noticed many of the parcels going out are for loved ones... so I’ve put a selection of gift boxes together for you so you’re friends and family can receive them all wrapped to perfection. There’s a couple of new ones too.. for Mother’s Day 💌 swipe 👉🏼 to see We’re partnered with a charity called @baby_basics, meaning 10% of each gift box goes to this charity helping give parents essentials like nappies wipes and toys to babies that families can’t afford. This was not just for Christmas this charity pair will be for always ✨
- Bath time essentials ✨ Our shop is full of natural self care products right now and they are all epic! 🙌🏻
- Hanging planters are our favourite addition to a home. They add depth, height, texture and a little injection of colour to any corner of a room. If you want to quickly change the look and feel to a room without painting a wall, I highly recommend a hanging planter.. presuming you don’t kill the plant 🤪
- The quiescent candle - designed for relaxation and to bring stillness and peace to your home. Perfect for now. Does anyone else feel like their burning candles like crazy at the moment?!
- Freshly made 💌 The most delicious Belgium handmade chocolates have just landed in time for Valentines. Made by @tilly_wonka Order online or I can deliver locally, use the code keepitlocal for free delivery to Woodhouse, Quorn or Swithland
- Self care Sunday 💆🏼♀️ because we need to fill up our cups to take on the week ahead 👌🏻 We are all taking on much more than we would usually bare right now and for me personally this lockdowns the toughest one yet (I know I’m not the only one feeling this way) So it’s more Important than ever we carve out a little time to look after ourselves. It may be a bath, a run some yoga, a podcast or reading a book. Whatever it is that makes you feel a little more grounded and relaxed. Take 20 mins out of your day to soak that feeling up. This new range of natural beauty is the most perfect compliment to your Bath time bliss. The bath oil and a face mask is a dreamy combination to make yourself feel fresh and new. 👌🏻
- A large mug + a beautiful candle = lockdown essentials. If you’re working from home there’s nothing better than a little bit of luxury having a warm cup of tea in a gorgeous mug and fresh natural candles burning through your house. We have the most fabulous selection of mugs and candles online ✨
- This stable door! The shop is really tiny, so to create some space for our till area I asked one of our makers if he could cut the door in half and make it into a half door with a surface on top for wrapping. It definitely worked, making the shop feel bigger and made use of what would have been a dead space cupboard. I absolutely love working out how best to use space - whether that be in the home or in shops ✨
- Herbs 🌿 these little planters are simply beautiful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They would look great inside if you keep your herbs on your windowsill or outside. Classic and timeless and that’s what we’re all about here.
- Heavenly handwash and moisturiser - BACK IN STOCK! 🙌🏻 We are washing our hands more now than ever, why not treat yourself to a little bit of luxury. It really does make a difference to your skin when you use good quality and natural ingredients and we can confirm this stuff is incredible. Also how dreamy is the second photo - one from our customers bathroom!
- My shop in the middle of the street. my shop in the middle of the village. My shop blooming miss it. Although it’s chilly in there at this time of year, mainly because of that huge window. But oh how I love that window and brick work!
- A little treasure trove ✨ Our shelves and online shelves are starting to fill up with glorious new products. I’m in the shop today sorting out my stockroom - Totally inspired by @west_stanton and her Marie Kondo- ing her store cupboard! ✨
- Look at the detail in that! This is handmade and has had a whole lot of care and attention put into it. A labour of love. This is something you’ll cherish and love and possibly hand down to your children or grandchildren, it will be used and look better with age it will become part of the family. This is not just a dish.
- Candles make a house your home. You may not like where you live at the moment or you may be deep in Reno life or the house is a constant mess - don’t worry a candle can make it a bit better. The scent can bring peace calmness and something you adore into your home. Focus on the small things because soon become big things ✨
- Dreaming of opening these doors. January is always a pretty quite month as our shelves are usually a little sparse and everyone is recovering from Christmas. So this January, It’s pretty nice to slow things down and plan a little whilst waiting for all our gorgeous makers to replenish their stock supply. That’s the nature of handmade. It isn’t made for mass production and it’s made from a place of love and passion - something not to be rushed. This is when the good stuff is produced ✨
- Cards ✨ I’ve written it before and I’ll write it again; never underestimate the power of a card. It’s a thoughtful gesture, show someone you care and your thinking of them. Now more than ever people need these extra little bits of light to shine through to reassure them they’re doing just great.
- The most dreamy jug. These look fabulous on a shelf full of dried flowers. 👌🏼 The raspberry range is one of our first collaborations with the wonderfully talented @faulty.stone. I asked Simon if he could create an exclusive for THOH and this is what he delivered. We wanted to create timeless tableware with a pop of colour. Made for purpose and to be loved and last. I’m pretty obsessed 😍have you seen the mugs, soup mugs and bowls too, they are utterly dreamy!
- Thought I’d share a few fun facts about me so you get to know the lady behind THOH! 1. I never leave the house on the first attempt. I’ve always forgotten my phone, purse, glasses or child. 2. I don’t know my lefts and rights 3. I hate being early. I am usually late or just on time. Being early makes me nervous. Don’t know why, it just does. 4. I genuinely think I’m tall, dispite being 5ft1 5. I’ve signed up to do @marathondumontblanc (it’s a 3000 meter climb) not sure why since running a business through a pandemic and keeping a toddler entertained are big enough challenges at the moment. I’m doing it with two friends both have completed ironmans - wish me luck 😬 6. Im a professional bridesmaid - I’ve been a bridesmaid 9 times. It’s a running joke, always the bridesmaid never the bride. I’ve been with H 16 years. 7. I care for an elderly lady - started during first lockdown so she didn’t have to have loads of people coming in and out. I love it and carried on! 👌🏻 feels good to give something back. 8. I used to live in London for 4 years and worked at Gucci doing marketing and sales analysis. It wasn’t all that fun and I prefer paying myself a pittance and following my passion. ✌🏼 @healthyhabits.harriet @claude_and_co @kayleightarrant @wavesofwonderphotography @meggyandme fancy sharing some fun facts about you with us!
- Definitely feels like I’m dipping my toe into January slowly. Trying to carve some structure to actually get work done... so far just feeling a bit merrr.
- Popping into the shop to post out your online orders today and take down the crispy Christmas decorations. It doesn’t matter if it’s Christmas or not all your orders come wrapped like little gifts. ✨
- Deleted the app and had a well earned rest over the festive period. Quite and restful but blissful. The perfect way to reflect on this crazy year. I hope you all had a lovely restful Christmas. Shop won’t be opening on 7th as I’d hoped for (tier 4)but online will be back running as normal from the 4th January. As always we’ll be offering free delivery to Woodhouse and quorn or click and collect - use the code keepitlocal to remove the delivery charge. I feel like I say it on every post at the moment but I genuinely can’t stop saying thank you to you all for your continued support. THANK YOU and here’s to a wonderful 2021 and street parties 🎉 ✨
- Last Day today 10-1 for any last minute treats or gifts before we break up for Christmas. I hope wherever you are you have the most restful Christmas.. this year is certainly one to go down in history and is going to be one we’ll talk about for years to come. I just wanted to say the hugest thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who’s supported me and our shop and all the makers that make the shop what it is. Honestly, when we first got told we were going into a national lockdown in March I was frantically googling jobs and thought this was the end of a dream. But then in floods your support, words of encouragement, likes, shares, reviews, orders. And every single action cheers me to keep going... and for that I’ll forever be grateful to you guys! This year has certainly been a rollercoaster ride full of ups and downs. A couple of big lessons this years taught me 1. to be grateful for the small things as the small things mount up to big things and 2. try not to worry over the things we can’t control. So once again thank you! Without you this shop and our makers wouldn’t be here .Your support means so much. Here’s to a fabulous 2021 and brighter days to come. Merry Christmas! ✨

- We don’t participate in Black Friday. Our prices are fair and we don’t have large margins. our products are made with passion and pride by wonderful people, and slashing the prices doesn’t justify their time, love and attention that goes into every piece made. We rarely have sales and when we do it’s only because we need to make room for new products. So if your waiting for a Black Friday deal it’s not happening here. Don’t get me wrong, I love a deal. Who doesn’t want to save a bit of money 🤷🏼♀️ However shop consciously and shop because it’s on your list, something you really want and will be used, or you know will make a fabulous gift, not just because it’s a bargain. ✨

- Good morning folks! A good candle is hard to make - there’s a lot of science in the process and wax and oils are very fickle when it comes to temperature, amount of oils and drying rates. Sometimes it’s hard to find a good candle that smells amazing and burns evenly. However we really do have some of the best! I love burning a candle especially when it fills the whole room with it’s gorgeous scent. 👌🏻
