Valley Living Stylish Accessories and Gifts From house warmings, birthdays and weddings to village celebrations and charity fundraising events.

Valley Living was established by me, Audrey Spencer, to create a unique collection of affordable yet stylish gifts and accessories to the high street of Clitheroe – helping us to enjoy giving and receiving tokens of love and friendship. I established Valley Living in 2017 and since then our ranges have developed and grown along the journey and we have added to our collections considerably, we now offer our customers a large range of carefully selected items from delicate pieces of jewellery, luxury fragranced soaps, body creams and candles and a beautiful selection of items for around the home. Each item has been hand picked so that customers can enjoy them both for themselves, in their own homes or giving to others to enjoy. My home has always been in the beautiful Ribble Valley area of England, surrounded by stunning countryside and lots of family and friends, with that comes many social gatherings and occasions to both give and receive gifts. My career up to opening my own shop has always been in hospitality, I am a qualified chef and teacher and I am fortunate to have worked in many varied establishments from award winning restaurants and major sporting events to boutique country house hotels and a Royal Palace. Along the way I have had lots of positive experiences and picked up many ideas for social gatherings, thoughtful gestures and just perfect finishing touches, many of which accumulate here at Valley Living.

🍂 November in Aud’s Kitchen means something bubbling in the oven and a little something to go with a brew.

My Tartiflette is proper cold-weather comfort food. Think layers of potatoes, bacon and onions with garlic, white w**e and cream, all topped with gloriously melty Reblochon. If you can’t get hold of Reblochon, a good ripe Camembert works beautifully and is usually a bit kinder on the purse, too.

I like a crisp, dry white with all that creamy cheese and bacon. If you’re in Clitheroe and fancy a recommendation, pop in and have a chat with the lovely team at D. Byrne & Co.

And for those afternoons when a brew needs a little something alongside it, there’s my Cranberry & White Chocolate Chip Flapjack. The tart cranberries pair beautifully with the sweet white chocolate. The last line of the recipe is my favourite bit ☕. Make a brew and enjoy! Get my recipes here. https://www.valleyliving.co.uk/recipes/

A little shelf of smiles! 🐝

I do love finding things with a bit of character, and these lovely glass creatures have plenty of it.

From the little bee and sheep to the pink flamingo and ducks in Santa hats, there’s something here for all sorts of animal lovers. And how sweet are those peas in a pod?

Lovely little gifts, or a cheerful addition to your own shelf or windowsill.

Which one catches your eye? Come and have a closer look next time you’re in Valley Living.

Hello November! 🍂 Bonfires, big jumpers and proper comfort food… I’m ready for you!

This is the month to dig out your hat and gloves and get something warm in the oven.

Check out my seasonal blog for a little November inspiration and two lovely recipes from Aud’s Kitchen - comfort food with a capital C.

There’s my gloriously cheesy Tartiflette, a Christmas Eve favourite in our house, and Cranberry & White Chocolate Chip Flapjack for those “a brew needs something with it” moments. I’ll share more about both in separate posts soon!

I’ve also mentioned our lovely local w**e merchants, D. Byrne & Co. After all, something has to go in the glass while dinner’s cooking…

Ooh, I just love these little characters! 🤍

Those big pink ears, little crowns, and cosy scarves… how could they not cheer you up?

Our lovely mice and reindeer are settling in nicely at the shop, and I’m getting rather attached to them!

A little gift to make someone smile, or a festive friend for your own home. Which one would you choose?

Pop into Valley Living and meet them for yourself.

Welcome to Clitheroe, Grape Tree! 🤍

What a lovely addition to our high street. I popped in for a browse and, of course, bought a few things! 😊

Sesame & black pepper crackers, chilli rice crackers, and dark chocolate Brazils… snacks sorted. The Brazils say “share pack”, which I’m taking as a suggestion!

Lovely to see another shop opening its doors in our town. Pop in and have a look next time you’re out.

🕯️ Clocks back - must be time to light the fire and look forward to Christmas.

I’m still busy unwrapping our Christmas arrivals at Valley Living, and these are looking lovely on the shelves. A little treat for your own home, or a gift to tuck away for someone special.

So tell me, are you ready to embrace the cosy evenings?

🎁 AUD’S PICKS – a few special mentions!

I know, I know… I’m supposed to be finding gifts for other people, but there are a few things in the shop I’d happily take home myself! 😉

The Botanical Gallery candle gift sets are beautifully presented, and how lovely is that little acorn pot?

Then there’s the festive candle centrepiece, with its pine cones, greenery and a little sparkle. I can just picture it on the Christmas table.

And I couldn’t leave out those coloured glass Christmas trees, gorgeous red candle jars and Frosted Snowberries soaps. Lovely little gifts… if you can bear to part with them!

Which would you choose – a present for someone else or a treat for yourself?

Pop into Valley Living for a closer look. I’m always happy to help you choose. ❤️

🎄 Come on in… we’re Christmas ready. The question is, are you?

We’ve loved getting the shop dressed for the festive season, and these little chaps are already making themselves at home!

There’s plenty to browse, whether you’re making a start on your Christmas gifts or choosing something lovely to bring a festive touch to your own home.

We'll be sharing more photos soon; see what catches your eye, then pop in for a browse.

Are you an early Christmas shopper, or do you need to hear a few carols before you get started? 😉

🎄 ALL CHANGE AT VALLEY LIVING! 🎄

We might be closed on Sundays right now, but there was plenty going on behind the scenes yesterday!

All three of us were in the shop making everything look lovely and Christmassy, including putting together our fab new Christmas window. I know, I know… It’s only October! 😂 But there’s a lot to do, and I do love seeing it all come together.

After all that, we treated ourselves to a meal at Wills W**e Bar which was excellent. A lovely way to finish a busy day together. 🥂

All in all, a good day’s work for Team Valley Living! ❤️ Pop by to see what we’ve been up to.
