Great Presents
Visited the shop in Keswick last September and bought two dragon fly cushions, which I love.
The online experience was fantastic. Great delivery service and well packed items. Both items I bought are for presents. The Bee hanging pot is so pretty and the Blue bottle star light is a perfect present.
Thank-you.

Gorgeous Gifts
So perfect! Ordered a gift for my little brother before I return to university - it arrived with such speedy delivery. We are usually frequent visitors to the Lakes so it's lovely to be able to give him something from the area. Many thanks!
