Our Story

How we began

Somehow life can take you away from your true vocation. I had always been interested in art and craft from an early age, and I can’t remember a time when I didn’t enjoy making things… decorating eggs for the family at Easter, making presents for birthdays and Christmas and over the years to dressmaking, quilting and patchwork, picture framing, upholstery projects and yes… painting!

I always dreamed of setting up my own shop which sold beautiful arts and crafts artefacts. But marriage, children, a career in publishing and marketing all followed. It wasn’t until I met some designers in the Custard Factory in Birmingham who introduced me to the wonders of chalk paint and how popular it was becoming that a seed began to germinate!

I am pleased to be able to provide a wide selection of well-chosen home accessories, art and craftwork, many of which have been made locally. In other words, sourcing everything I love!

As a picture-framer I am able to offer a framing service to order, painted or otherwise. It is wonderful to see how a simple frame around a picture can bring a picture to life and in the same way, using Annie Sloan products and chalk paint can give a piece its own character.

Refurbishing items at the back of the shop, brings a little bit of theatre and artisanship to the place and often attracts interest and questions. Training with Annie Sloan has given me the opportunity to encourage and teach others through my own workshops.

It is great fun being able to give new life to something and provide inspiration to others in creating a different look for their surroundings. The shop could be described as vintage, but with a contemporary twist or maybe it is contemporary with a vintage twist, but hopefully you will be able to find that different something you have always been looking for!
