With National Friendship Day coming up at the end of the month, I jumped at the chance to bring you a collection of our favourite sentiments and gifts for a friend that we know will be treasured.My daughter Lillia is 11 and at times does find it difficult to navigate the path of friendships and if any of you have daughters, you’ll remember how girls can be and what a tricky road this can be sometimes. What I have tried to explain to her is that you go where the love is and not to try to force someone to like you, as you will in time find your tribe and when they see your light, they’ll naturally want to be a part of you... these are your people.At 44 years, I’m lucky enough to still be best friends with my old school friend Kerry and although we live miles apart,...

Did you know you that over 2 million strawberries and 7000 litres of cream are consumed during Wimbledon Tennis Tournament? Being a quintessential part of British history, it really is the perfect excuse to indulge... so why not throw a party to celebrate!  We have some gorgeous mini jugs in a beautiful Dandelion & Bee design or our equally gorgeous Coastal Scene staple, perfect for serving cream with those delicious freshly picked strawberries if you are thinking of hosting a get-together in the sunshine.If you're also thinking of getting the drinks on the go, our dainty Bluebell Glass Jug would make as the perfect Pimms jug... it just looks so elegant with its pretty bluebell and dragonfly illustrations. Our lovely gin glasses (including our very fitting Strawberry Gin Glass) is also a favourite and we just LOVE the matching Strawberry Outdoor Cushions, these would look fab in the garden and will last all summer. Our Raspberry Stitch Throw is the perfect wrap around for...

Hey Guys!Wedding Season is now upon us and having just celebrated my own anniversary a couple of weeks ago, I’m always mindful of the lovely gifts we received on our wedding day and how I cherish them still all these years later.Wedding gifts are not always an easy find and I’m often asked to put together gift packages for weddings when people are unsure what to give.I alway ask what home style the recipient has so the gift can sit happily within their own decor and can be a lovely memory or sentiment to be enjoyed for years to come.If you have a wedding coming up and are struggling to find the right gift, I’ve put together some of our favourite pieces that make beautiful presents the happy couple will treasure. I especially love our Vintage Playing Card art pieces, these have messages of love spelt out in vintage playing cards...

I have something very exciting to tell you.A few months ago we discovered the most wonderful handmade products that took my breath away the moment I saw them.These were incredible sea designs in resin on wood in the most striking colours that were so realistic it looked like you could dive right into them.I knew the moment I saw them that I wanted to be able to add these to our collection and so set off on a journey to get these pieces commissioned for Collecting Seashells and for you our lovely customers.The amazing creator of these fabulous products is Tabitha Osborne-Fox, founder of FoxSea Art. Growing up in North Devon and staying in North Cornwall, Harlyn Bay she was lucky enough to become a semi professional bodyboarder and in 2010 she amazingly became British Bodyboarding Champion. Blessed with being able to travel the world surfing, she has a deep...
