Are you trapped? Stuck lining the pockets of greedy billionaires with your hard earned everytime you need to find a gift for someone? (Or yourself!) There are other options! 💕

Every piece made with love and care, in my little woodend workshop, NO slaves/factories, NO robots, NO container ships!

100% unique and useful gift ideas made using 100% reclaimed/salvaged wood.
Giving lovely pieces of wood that have already had a hard life as one object the chance to put a smile on someones face as another object instead of being needlessly discarded 💕

Open 9am - 3.30pm Monday - Friday
I can also be open, by appointment, from 6 - 7.30pm. (Message me!)

Visitors/enquiries always welcome!
Unique items on the shelves, prices start from just £5! You will also be offered a small freebie just for calling in!!
Postage can be arranged on most small items - not the hogs with spikes! (£5 for a decent service! Please message to arrange)

Perfect weather for making garden seats? 🤣🤦‍♂️
Seeing what's possible with better weather around the corner🤞
Turns out just 6 fence boards can make one of these...

Lovely action shot sent in of one of my small £10 'fence' feeders! 💕

Do you try to shop local? 💕
Support local businesses? 💕
Or have you just forgotten how to thanks to the likes of ama💩on etc? 😀

Is there any attraction left in buying yourself or someone you love a 100% unique gift that's made from start to finish by a small local business? Made from reclaimed and salvaged timber, made with love and care, without a robot, factory or container ship in sight?

That's exactly what I try and offer, things that can't be bought off the shelf, an escape from choosing to line overseas billionaires pockets, an escape from the miserable cycle of buying Chinese made imported s**t that is destroying livelihoods and businesses 😠

Choices... 💕

What do we think? Still a bit too soon to bring my viking chairs out of hibernation? 🥶 🤔
Everything might be sodding sodden but just brightening a few soggy display bits up cheered the mood! 😻

*NEW!*
'Doorway' planters now made to order,
ie small but tall planters!
12" x 12" x 24" Tall
Just £35 each

They perfectly compliment the 24" and 36" long planters that I've offered for a few years now!

If you've seen the hobbyists out there offering £5 planters, unlined and made from already semi rotten untreated pallet wood, cobbled together using drywall screws 🤣 perhaps you'll realise the benefit of buying something made with thought!

12" x 12" x 24" H £35 each
24" x 12" x 24" H £45 each
36" x 12" x 24" H £55 each
Bespoke sizes can be made (under 3 foot long)

Rainbow Rain, kissing couple! 😻
Ever considered gifting a Valentines gift that's unique and locally made by a small business instead of just buying some Chinese slave made junk 🤣 shipped via a couple of clicks on ama💩on?! 😲

I have two of these pictures made and available. Made from 100% salvaged pieces of wood, 10" x 9" they are £30 each and I can include postage for that. Don't miss out there are only two exactly like this in the whole world! 😁

Please message me to enquire 🐈‍⬛ 💕
