📦 Busy behind the scenes getting lots of lovely new stock ready for the shop! 🛍️

We’re getting new stock out by the hour, so there’s always something new to discover! 👀
A bit of sorting, a bit of pricing, plenty of unpacking and, of course, lots of cake and tea to keep us going! ☕😂

Pop in and see what treasures you can find — you never know what might be on the shelves next! 💚♻️

📢 A little reminder from our shop
We’re closed today (Friday 2nd October), but we’ll be back open tomorrow (Saturday) as usual. 💚

Please don’t leave donations outside the shop while we’re closed. Unfortunately, they won’t be brought inside or dealt with until we reopen, and being left outside can mean donations become wet, damaged or unsellable.

Sadly, when items can no longer be sold, it can actually cost the charity money to dispose of them — something we’d all much rather avoid! ♻️
If you have donations for us, we’d love to see you when we’re open.

Thank you for helping us make the most of every donation and raise as much as possible for the animals in our care. 🐴💚
Thank you for understanding — and please don’t leave donations outside. 😊

You’ve seen us behind the till, sorting donations, pricing stock and making the shop look fabulous. So, in true 90s sitcom style, we thought it was time for the introductions! 📺✨

Meet the faces behind our little shop — our incredibly team who keep everything ticking along. 💚

Because behind every charity shop is a bunch of real people — with real lives, real personalities, good days, bad days and questionable dance moves.

And yes… we absolutely had way too much fun making this. 😂

🕸️ Fancy yourself a DIY project — or perhaps the next Great British Sewing Bee? 🧵👰‍♀️

We’ve been very kindly donated this beautiful wedding dress, but unfortunately, due to the condition it’s currently in, we’re unable to sell it. With our limited charity funds, we’re also unable to have it professionally dry cleaned — so this is where you come in!

This Halloween, we’re planning a Co**se Bride-inspired window display, and we’d love to give one of our wonderful customers the opportunity to transform this dress into the centrepiece of our spooky installation! 💀💜🧡💚

Whether you’re an experienced sewer, a creative DIY enthusiast, a budding designer, or simply fancy taking on a fun and unusual challenge, we’d LOVE to hear from you!

There’s no need to be a professional — we’re looking for someone with enthusiasm, creativity and a willingness to get stuck in.

It’s a chance to showcase your creativity, learn new skills, and create something fantastic while supporting our charity. We’d love to hear from people of all ages, backgrounds and experience levels, and especially anyone who enjoys getting creative and trying something new.

📍 Pop into the shop and speak to a member of staff, or give us a call on 01626 834928 to find out more!

Know someone who would absolutely love this challenge? Please share this post with your friends and family! 🖤

Let’s see what you can create… 👰‍♀️🕷️💀

❄️ Winter is coming… and we’re ready! 🧥🍂

We’re busy integrating our winter stock, getting all the cosy coats, chunky knits, boots and cold-weather essentials ready for the rails. 🧣🧤

Because, as they say in Game of Thrones… “Winter is coming.” 👀

Pop in and have a browse — you might just find your perfect winter treasure! ♻️🧡💜💚

We may be a small charity shop, with a small budget to match… so our marketing strategy is pretty much word of mouth, loyal supporters and a whole lot of making prats of ourselves on the internet! 😂💚💜🧡

And you know what? It seems to be working!
A huge thank you to all of you who support us — the ones who pop in every day, the ones who make a special trip once in a while, the ones who donate, shop with us, share our posts and tell your friends about us.

Every visit, every purchase and every good donation makes a difference.

Thank you for sticking with us, laughing at our ridiculous Reels and continuing to support what we do🐴💜🧡💚

A HUGE thank you to everyone who’s patiently dealt with our dodgy internet, disappearing connection and general technological chaos. 🙈 Your patience (and continued support!) has been absolutely brilliant. 🧡💚💜

Anddddd what a BRILL festival day! 🎶☀️ Thank you to everyone who came along, supported us and shopped, it’s all helped to make it such a fun day🤩

Your support keeps Cassie singing! (And me recording it)🤣🎤
