This shop is next to the hardware store from last week. A small shop it’s been a hairdressers, stove shop & now this eco shop.
It only opened a couple of months before lockdown so it’s done really well to survive as I know the owner does charge a seemingly high rent.
You can buy anything recyclable & good for the environment. From clothes pegs, toys, cereals & bulk refillable washing liquid.
The owner is a young mum with young children who during the lockdown made a pen at the front of the shop so her two kids could play out.
I’m ashamed to say I have only been in once but lots of mums go in so hopefully she will weather the storm.
Taken into the sun so not such a good photo.
Three good things:
1. I met up today with two friends, last time we went out for lunch was just before Harry & I went to NZ at the very at end of February.
2. Vanish stain removal. I wore a new lawn shirt I bought in NZ this year & dripped the dressing oil from my lunch all down the front. It’s on the washing line now & fingers crossed the marks have come out. King prawn & Linguini noodles in a chilli dressing...my favourite but messy!
3. I got used to motorway driving after a couple of miles...haven’t been on a motorway for months...you have to get into motorway mode again! I
Hopefully it will do well.. tough on small fledgling businesses.. That salad sounds good hope the oil mark comes out.. Vanish us great though I ruined a merino top when I washed the other week..
Sounds like a great shop...hope she does well. I remember my mum used to put the playpen out on the lawn in summer weather with a rug inside it, for my little sisters. Happy days!!
And well done getting back on the motorway. It's quite a thought venturing beyond local roads when you haven't done it for a while!
Cute little shop- hope it does well! I see it's a plastic-free store. I knew a young mom a couple years ago who's daughters suffered from bad allergies. After she removed all the plastic from her house the allergies went away. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it!
A lovely little shop with a clear Name sign . As I was peering into the windows to find what she had there , I spotted a photographer squaring up to the shop !! Great selfie Pat ! Hope this young lady survives and does well with the business .
@loweygrace I hope it does well too....we are going to rent a holiday cottage just round the corner from here while our new place is being altered so will definitely check it out more!
@beryl Ha ha I noticed me too Beryl! Part of the trouble going in this shop I never like coming out without buying.....you feel bad so it was good to have a good peer inside while it was shut!
I actually just went online to look & it’s quite a shop.
Looks more like a little house than a shop but that's English. Our shops always have a huge window at the front. But then that's always under a verandah! Not so here!
