4. Woodland Felted Animals

5. Wonderland - Alice and Friends

6. Global Celebration 

Dia de los Muertos

Day of the Dead festivities unfold over two days at the start of November, in an explosion of colour and life-affirming joy. The theme is of course death, but celebrations are joyous in demonstrating love and respect for deceased family members. Throughout Mexico, revellers wear colourful makeup and costumes, often skull or skeleton themed and hold parades and parties, sing, dance, and make offerings to lost loved ones. 

We have for a long time loved the colour and imagery of the day of the dead, and we are really pleased this year to have sourced some Mexican Artifacts to celebrate this intriguing festival.  Ana Maria Araujo has introduced us to a carefully curated collection of traditional Oxaqueña Art made from polychrome clay with intricate designs;  Tree of Life Candelabra, Mariachi Dancers and Catrina and Frida figures.

The shop is splendidly full to the brim with tin decorations, tin mirrors, niches and sugar skull decorations. 

 

Let's get cosy!

Scarves have become a wardrobe essential and they are as easy on the eye as they are on your wallet. With Autumn well on its way, this fun accessory can change the look of an outfit in one second, and keep you a little bit warmer in this transitional season.  They make great gifts too!  You can never have enough scarves right?  or is that handbags?
We have a brand new collection of scarves in store that we are sure you will love; we've even found some great ones which work for both men and women.  

The Roka bag is back - new colours and fantastic new roll top design.

Our new season knitwear is proving a huge success with the first delivery of this Rainbow jumper (together with our new boiled wool coats) selling out as soon as we had received it - but fear not we have the boiled wool coats back in store including this brand new Teal  and we are expecting another delivery any day, do call if you would like us to reserve anything.

Get creative for the school holidays and Festival Season with Face & Body Paints and Chunky Glitter.

Express your creative side and let your imagination run wild with Moon Creations Face Paints & Body Crayons, and Chunky Glitter.  For a fun summer holiday activity or birthday gift idea these paints and crayons are brilliant.

  

For a night out, or a festival, be prepared to shimmer the night away!
