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.

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. ✨
Tis the season to be jolly careful... fa la la la la 🎄 I can’t tell you how excited I am to be able to open the doors In December!
We’ve still got quite a few pieces left in our flash Christmas sale 5 x green Santa hat 5 x red Santa hat 2 x small red wreath 1 x large red wreath 1 x large cream wreath 3 x crown tree topper DM me if you would like to purchase any! ✨

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. 👌🏻
Porridge mugs, tea mugs, hot chocolate mugs, soup mugs. The options are endless. What would you use yours for?
