Last Treacle Market of the year (and the 100th!) - Sunday 10-3.30 in the Market Place, Macclesfield. And we’ll be bringing along some of these gorgeous stars! #treaclemarket #stockingfillers #stardecoration #sundaymarket #christmasprep #tistheseason #deckthehalls
Very pleased to be stocking these gorgeous bamboo toothbrushes. Gorgeous AND bio-degradable. Unlike other non-plastic toothbrushes, they come with different coloured tips so each member of the family can find their own. No excuse for mix-ups! 😉 #non-plastic #ecofriendlyliving #bambootoothbrush #biodegradabletoothbrush #displayworthy #shopindependentthischristmas #naturalcleaningproducts
It’s Stir Up Sunday this weekend when I’ll be at the gorgeous @treaclemarket so I’ve got a bit ahead of myself (unusually!) and made my Christmas Pud yesterday. We’ve family coming over so I’ve made a big one using our No 4 bowl from Burleigh. These are now discontinued but if anyone wants one I have two number 4s left (feeds about 8 people) and one No 1 (big enough for two people). Reduced - details on the website. #stirupsunday #christmaspudding #christmaspud #myeverydaymagic #prettyandpractical #moderncountrystyle #stylingtheseasons #seasonsmagic #burleighpottery #savouringhappiness
This is one of the tiniest but mightiest products we sell. It’s a comb and brush cleaner. But far more importantly it’s unusual and a talking point at our events. And it has a small price tag. And for those reasons it’s become a big player. Lots of people are very supportive of our business, our mission to sell high quality, long-lasting, display-worthy, useful products for the home. However not everyone has the cash to spend but often they end up buying one of these sometimes as a token gesture, to say ‘I like what you’re doing’. And that’s enormously important to a small independent business. This is what the #JustACard movement is about - supporting local, independent businesses ‘by reinforcing the message that all purchases,however small, even ‘just a card’ are so vital to the prosperity and survival of small business’. So whilst we are on the cusp of Black Friday - wouldn’t it be lovely if we could all pledge our support to a small business? @justacard #justacard #slowliving #shopsmall #smallbusiness #shopindependentthischristmas #myeverydaymagic #tinytinymoments #stayinspired #forgetblackfriday

We’ll be at our lovely local, village Christmas Fair tomorrow. It has lots of great stalls, the best tea room ☕️ lots of 🍰 and an opportunity to catch up with the village news. Organised by the lovely Carole at @holmemadewithlove
Clean living.
This is a small handbrush for carpets, stairs and upholstery. It has an oiled beechwood handle and the bristles are made from a leaf fibre from the Bonita palm. Plant fibres such as these are characterised by their elasticity and durability and are often used for upholstery brushes. This one has a pointed end to get into the corner of a sofa or a stair. It’s also great for brushing the dust off curtains or fabric blinds. #cleaningequipment #naturalcleaningproducts #naturalcleaningtips #goodhousekeeping #brushesforalloccasions #specialistcleaningbrushes #hinching
These have been selling like hot cakes - or hot Agas this week. For me they've been something of a wonder product. Copper is the softest of metals and so these scourers can be used on stove tops and cast iron casserole dishes without risk of scratching. When I first read this I thought it a rather dubious claim but decided to try it on our Aga top. I used the copper sponge with a bit of cream cleaner and then buffed it with a cloth and I was so impressed! It effectively removed all the grease without scratching. I even decided to make a short video about it which is now on the website - but I had to 'borrow' a friend's Aga as ours was now too clean for the 'before' shot - not a bad problem to have! At the @monamieliving event last Saturday, one of our customers decided to buy the sponges to try on her range cooker. She came back later that afternoon to tell me she'd already been home and cleaned it and it was now sparkling! She had also cleaned her Le Creuset too and was completely blown away with the results. Now that kind of customer response makes it all worthwhile! #agacleaning #copperkitchen #ecoclean #lwlts18 #plainuseful
