I love hardware stores! I always feel like I'm adventuring into a world I don't quite understand,…read moreAlso, confession time, I always think anyone who sees me in there will think, "That's a savvy chick, she knows her tools". As it happens I do know a few tools, but only the human kind unfortunately. I wander in here maybe once a year, if I need something hardware-y like compressed air or a long weight (that's a hardware joke people!) The staff are helpful and friendly. My last visit was a quest for Tarzan's Grip to fix a wayward heel, and suddenly realised I didn't even know if that was the best product. So I asked the nice man which glue he thought would be best for shoes and he said," I was just talking about that with my mate", grabbed a tube of something and guess what? It worked.

Great store!

A curated shop of bespoke homewares, scented candles, pillows, throws, kitchen accessories, and bar knick knacks. I was sort of in a daze (I had been to Bon Iver's concert the night before) and my aimless wandering led me to discover they had Kip & Co linen sheets! A brand I had been trying to get my mittens on for a while, winter was coming** - so I bought a beautiful crushed blue quilt cover to cocoon myself in bed. The lady working was so lovely and helpful, and we had a rather loud squealing moment when we realised we had BOTH BEEN TO THE SAME CONCERT. I did skip out of the shop, but not sadly into the arms of Justin Vernon because... well, he probably doesn't shop for homewares. ** If you get the pun, we are truly meant to be friends.
