They also do piercings there too if that is what you are looking for. The staff are ever so friendly and helpful, and definitely know their stuff. Everything is really reasonably priced, and it is all excellent quality too. I would highly recommend a visit - it really is a wonderful shop!

The scones were lovely and the cakes and tarts... well, where on earth do you start?? The tea was good - we all had good old English breakfast.

They also have a nice little gift shop. Parking might be a challenge if school is in session and about to let out as there is only street parking and a school across the road.

The pretty pink shop, though small, has a large selection to suit any taste and even has a pick-and-mix section where you can act like a kid again and choose all your favourite sweeties like chocolate bananas and black jacks to put in a brightly coloured paper bag. They also do some lovely chocolates which you can buy singly to create your own collection of chocolate at least this way you know you'll love every one!

Everytime I come in here it makes me want to paint all my house an off white colour, as this is the colour of the walls in here and it shows off all the stunning ornaments and pictures so well. I have previously bought little wooden and metal heart decoration to hang on the wall. THe also do a range of the very fashionable retro metal tins, with the writing on the front. I have one for my pegs and one for washing powder. The items are reasonably priced. At the moment they have an absolutely stunning range of Christmas decorations. It took all my willpower to stop buying yet more decorations when I visited the other day. I am sure I will succumb before Christmas though!!
