I love visiting this beautiful shop
I love visiting this beautiful shop. The choice of gifts is vast and I always find lots I want to take home. I love the ethos that they source small handmade local business's. I have recently ordered from their website and found the process fast and efficient. The handwritten thank you card is such a lovely touch. Thank you Laura

Excellent service. Item took longer than expected entirely due to Royal Mail. Laura at Handmade designs couldn’t have been more helpful at chasing it up. Beautiful product beautifully packaged. Highly recommend.
