Great birthday present.
Holy Island puzzle birthday gift for a friend in Colorado as we both love the area and visit friends there often. She loved it, and we both thought your “brown paper packages tied up with string” was so clever. Thanks for making her day special.

Heavenfield, third book of the series
This is my third book of LJ Ross’s. I read the first two given to me as Christmas presents. Once I started reading I couldn’t put either of them down until I knew the end result, so I recently bought the third one, Heavenfield. Ive only just started reading it and I know this book will be just as intriguing and exciting.

Truly excellent company with a heart of gold
Truly excellent company who sourced an alternative out of stock item for my terminally ill Mum to wear as she is a forever northern and won’t ever make it back to our home town from Kent.
Thank you so much she’s worn it every day, after a wash since getting it.

All about the North
I ordered a print i saw online . It arrived promptly, was very well packaged and I just love it as it reminds me of where I grew up.
First saw the store when I was visiting the North over Christmas but unfortunately it was closed . I will definitely visit next time I'm there .

Always a great choice of local artist impressions. The calendar is stunning. My family always enjoy their stocking fillers or cards too. Really responsive, sustainably packaged and fast dispatch. Can only highly recommend
