It’s National Upcycling Day today, and what better moment to highlight one of our fab suppliers UpCircle.

They upcycle over 60 ingredients across their whole range, turning would-be waste into skincare that genuinely works with nature. Their night cream (which we have in stock and on refill) uses blueberries, where the seeds are cold-pressed into an oil rich in antioxidants and vitamin A.

It’s a lovely reminder that what’s left behind in one process can become something brilliant in another — and that small everyday choices really do add up to a more circular way of living.

The end of the school year is nearly here, and if you're looking for a little thank you for the teacher who has spent all year helping, encouraging and shaping young minds, we've got a few ideas.

Whether it's a bar of chocolate, a pamper treat or a useful everyday gift, there are plenty of thoughtful options in the shop to help show your appreciation.

Sometimes it's the small gestures that mean the most. 💚

The weather this week is looking like it’s gone a bit mad again 🌡️ so if you’re heading out and about, it’s definitely time to sort the sunscreen situation.

We’ve just added a few new sunscreens to the shelves, plus our ever-popular UpCircle SPF30. We have the handy Sol de Ibiza Super Zinc Stick SPF30 and in SPF50 we have Odyskin, and their after-sun lotion.

All giving you solid UVA + UVB protection without the unnecessary extras, so you can just get on with being outside without worrying about it.

Stick it in your bag, use enough of it, and reapply (even when it feels like you probably don’t need to).

Stay protected out there, and think of me here in ‘The Fridge’! ☀️

The new window display went in last Wednesday with a bit of a fishy theme, and it just so happens that today is World Ocean Day – a happy coincidence! 🌊🐟

Considering we're always chatting about ways to cut down on plastic and waste; the timing couldn't have worked out much better. Pop by and have a look next time you're passing!

The shop refresh continues and the to-do list is finally getting shorter! 😊

Lovely has done such a fantastic job on the outside of the shop – it's looking rather dapper if I do say so myself. When you're caring for an old, listed building, every little improvement takes time, patience, and a fair bit of hard work, but it's so rewarding to see it all coming together.

Here are a few before-and-after photos to show just how much of a difference some TLC can make. What do you think of the transformation so far?

📢 Just a reminder that the Plastic Free Wenlock Clothes & Toy Swap is happening today at Holy Trinity Church! 👕🧸

If you've got good-quality clothes or toys looking for a new home, bring them along and see what treasures you can find in return. It's a great way to save money, reduce waste and support a more circular community. ♻️

And don't forget, there'll be tea and cake waiting for you too! ☕🍰

Come along for a swap, a chat and a slice of cake – we'd love to see you there.

If you're planning to make a batch of delicious homemade elderflower champagne, you'll be pleased to know that the citric acid is fully stocked up in the shop and ready for all your brewing adventures.

There's nothing quite like foraging fresh elderflowers on a sunny day and turning them into a sparkling summer drink. Whether you're a seasoned maker or trying it for the first time, don't forget this key ingredient before you head off picking!

Pop in and grab what you need — happy brewing! 🥂

Lovely and I are taking a little break, so stepping in for a couple of days is my brother-in-law Stuart 😊
Some of you may already know him as he has covered in the shop before and probably had a good chat with him too! As we don’t take time off very often, he might need a little patience while he finds his way around everything again.

The shop will be open:
Monday 8th June – 10am–2pm
Tuesday 9th June – 10am–2pm

Then it’ll be back to normal hours and me back in the shop on Thursday 11th 😊
