After the holidays our stocks are getting very low, but we can still make up a box or two!



Soap Box - We have, Kawakawa and Dandylion leaves infused and macerated into a lovely light green soap. Mugwort Herb Leaf infused soap that is an off white colour. Calendula petals infused soap that is a gorgeous buttermilk colour. Coffee grounds our specialty exfoliating soap. Rosemary infused leaf macerated into the oils includes Essential Oil, other wise known as The Hedge Maiden, Cypress Essential Oil other wise know as The Arborist and Plain Bars are in the production line. If you can't see it on the website, please drop me a message and I will let you know if the item is available. :-) Prices vary as I am such a random cutter.


Smoke Shop - We have fresh Cruzi, and Snoozi ciggis and tins of these smoke mixes, they look and smell gorgeous, perfect for a chuff in the sun on a summers eve.


Sheepish Stuff - Stocks are pretty good at the moment, but once the peg looming classes get underway, I am guessing I will be peddling the wheel in the evenings!

See the shop all page on the website for more, or come along to one of the market days.


There are new rugs now on offer, a beautiful russett red Arapawa felt back fleece, its super light and squishy!
