💙 FATHER’S DAY IS LOOKING FABULOUS 💙

I honestly can’t take any credit for this one as I wasn’t even in the country 😂✈️ but how lucky am I to have such talented people stocking in the shop, who are not only amazing small businesses but genuinely good friends always willing to lend a hand.

The new window looks absolutely fab and there’s so much new stock made especially for Father’s Day 👏

And can we talk about the Gonks, quirky, different and guaranteed to give Dad a good laugh! Definitely not something you’ll find anywhere else locally.

That’s what I love most about our shop, so many handmade, unique gifts created by brilliant local small businesses 🛍️

Pop in for a browse and see everything for yourself 💙
We’re open today from 10am – 4pm 😊

WHAT A WEEK 🙈😂

Firstly a huge thank you to the girls for looking after the shop while I’ve been away 🫶

I’ve had a very eventful holiday 😂 honestly it wouldn’t be like me to do things by half lol 🙈

I’m looking forward to getting back into the shop, having a wee chat with you all and seeing what I’ve missed.

We’re open today from 10am–4pm with lots of gorgeous gifts for every occasion and our yummy bakes are only 5 for £10 🍪🧁

JOHN HAS DONE IT AGAIN 🎨📚

Doodles By John - John McClaughry Artist is another incredibly talented business we’re lucky to have in the shop.

Not only does he create the most amazing caricatures, he was also the talented artist behind my Mayfair window painting… honestly, there’s not much this man can’t turn his hand to! 👏

Now he’s written and published this fantastic comic and it’s already proving to be a huge hit! 🔥

These would make a brilliant pressie for comic lovers, collectors or anyone who appreciates amazing artwork and creativity.

Make sure you grab your copy before they’re gone!

And there’s more… 👀
Keep an eye on my page because John will be coming into the shop for a special signing day where he’ll sign your copy completely free of charge! ✍️

So… what are you waiting for?

🥈 SMALL WEE SHOP… BIG TEAM EFFORT ❤️

Absolutely buzzing to have received 2nd Place for Best Dressed Window 2026 at the Ballyclare May Fair.

Of course we were aiming for the top spot 😂 but honestly we are so proud of what we created together, and massive congratulations to all the other winners 👏

This wasn’t just “our” window… this was teamwork from the amazing businesses within our wee shop who stock with us and put their heart and soul into every little detail. Every single one of you are winners in my eyes 💕

From the stunning hanging baskets, to all the red, white & blue cups and pom poms that helped bring the whole display to life 🇺🇸 every little detail mattered.

We had the unbelievable handmade cake featuring the Declaration of Independence, handmade jewellery, crochet bears, Lego frames, beautiful artwork of local Ballyclare landmarks, and of course the amazing window painting by Doodlesbyjohn. The majority of our display was handmade, which makes this achievement even more special.

Unfortunately I couldn’t be there to receive our trophy as it wasn’t announced during May Fair week, but our lovely Sharon stepped in for me ❤️ Sharon is not only one of our fabulous stockists, but also a great friend, organiser, declutterer and one of the people who helped me pull the whole window together.

The amount of effort, creativity and talent inside our wee shop never goes unnoticed, and we’re so grateful to have such incredible businesses involved.

And finally, thank you to every single person who stopped, looked, took photos, shared posts or complimented our window over the past couple of weeks. Your support means more than you know.
