Yesterday Abi from @crafty_tinks came to set up her pop up display with us 😍

We have a huge selection of her greetings cards, as well as framed and unframed prints

She’s even painted a few Peak District scenes especially for us:
- Pym’s Chair Peak District
- Dovedale Stepping Stonew
- Thorpe Cloud
- Lamaload Reservoir
- Thors Cave

You’ll be able to purchase any of Abi’s work in store until Monday 11th July 😊

If you’re not able to visit us over the next few weeks and would like more information or photos of any of Abi’s artwork, please send us a message 😊

Day 2 of #MyShopLife22 Shopkeeper & Team Team HM

Day 2 of #MyShopLife22
Shopkeeper & Team

Team HMD is made up of four people 😊

Laura (likely to be the shortest shop keeper in Ashbourne 🙋🏼‍♀️), Ang, Karen and Sally Ann

Karen and Sally Ann both joined the team last summer 😊

Karen sells her artwork in Handmade Design and has done since Laura took over the shop back in 2018 😊 Sally Ann was a customer before joining the team… she continues to be one of our best customers still 😂

Ang has been working in the shop since Laura became the owner a few years ago. It may not come as a shock that she’s Laura’s mum!

We’re a super friendly bunch 👋

Today is the start of #MyShopLife22 and we keen to

Today is the start of #MyShopLife22 and we keen to take part and unite with other shop keepers across the UK!

Day 1 Shopfront

Here is a recent photo we had taken at a photoshoot with @discoverashbourne

Our shop is on a sweet, little cobbled square in the centre of Ashbourne, Derbyshire. We spend lots of time planning our shop window displays and try and change them every few weeks. Each pane of glass is over a metre wide so it quite a large space to play with!

One of my favourite things about our shopfront is the original gold lettering which says ‘GOOD VALUE’ in one of the top windows. Have you ever noticed this before? 😍

We haven’t actually told you WHY we won Gift Sho

We haven’t actually told you WHY we won Gift Shop of the Year… the judges were particularly impressed by the affordability of many of our products!

It’s always been important to me, that my customers can come in with just £10 and be able to leave with a card and a unique gift ❤️

Our best blog post to date has just gone live on the website which explains more about the award and why we were the winner 😊

P.S. I’m allowed to say that it’s the best post because I didn’t write it! It was written by our amazing new Intern, Daniel 😊

Head over to our website to read Dan’s first post!

It’s almost as if I planned it… over the weeke

It’s almost as if I planned it… over the weekend, we had a big restock on Soaps and Soap Bags! 🧼

As a pair, these make a great gift for less than £15

Soap Bags have been our second best selling product online for a while now 😊

They help your soap last longer, keep it clean, dry and slime free. It’s been designed to make the transition from plastic shower gel bottles to a bar of soap easier 😊

A little tip: You can also use them to use up of those odd bits of soap that are too small to do anything with! Just pop them all in the bag together.
