Lamp shades and butterflies and pretties, oh my! Inspired by the owner’s English and Japanese background, this small shop packs in quite an array of earthy travel inspired home products. From cutsie felt butterfly rings to paper lamps with patterns inspired by turn of the century Kimonos, it is clear that each product is carefully selected and hand made by local designers or small manufacturers. It is the type of store where upon walking in you instantly scrunch up your nose, pucker your lips into a mischievous half grin and squeeze your hands up next to your cheeks. I *know* you know what I’m taking about.

This friendly little boutique has creative, hand-made gifts: hand bags, pillows, lamps, t-shirts, home furnishings, books, and jewellery. Some items are of clean, snazzy designs while others are charming. A lovely place to look for unique gifts, or to look for design inspiration.
