We were shown around by the lovely Aaron and he told us about the various displays and things on offer. Unlike many department stores, things were more individual and it felt like you weren't buying something that everyone would own. I don't like to feel my house is a carbon copy of the one next door and although I am one for trends, I do like to put my own stamp on the idea too.
The prices were very reasonable too, in fact surprisingly so. I have been on the look out for a pretty and different bird house for a while now. We are planning on doing the garden in the next few weeks and I want to add a touch of sparkle to it. Every one I have seen, though, have been £30 and up, so I was pleasantly surprised to see many different houses here under £20! I picked is little beauty up for £16.99.
The store has two different floors and each section is presented really well and present you with ideas on how to use the items, sometimes with a twist. My husband would love this motorbike, goodness knows where it would fit though!
I also loved this gong, displayed on a wall of clocks!
We had a great day of shopping and came home with a few treats, and a few ideas for future trips!
I need a new sturdy laundry basket, at £20 for the largest I loved these! |
