I'm absolutely thrilled to announce I have taken the plunge and introduced another great local business to the white approach shop. The innovative Sails and Canvas based in Topsham, Devon make an array of must have products from used Sails and Canvas (of course).

Choose from cushions, bags, bolsters, bean bags and the most amazing dog beds. All of which can be customised !

I will have a selection of products in the shop from tomorrow to give you a taster of what is available, but feel for sure this is going to be a huge success in the seaside town of Exmouth where my shop is located. Don't worry if you live further afield, products will very shortly be added to the website.

Look at the dog bed !!! How fab is that ! Its fully washable. Customers have been snapping them up for their cars. Perfect for those muddy paws !

I predict the shoppers will be a huge success. Large and roomy with rope straps long enough to carry over your shoulder. With a clear section on one side these are going to be perfect for the beach.
The nautical style is classic and timeless so investing in one of these you are guaranteed to always look stylish.

All items are hand made in the Loft in Topsham. Customisation available at no extra charge.

Come and see us soon.

Exciting times.

I always think you have to get Bonfire night out of the way before you can really start thinking about Christmas, but, well, I couldn't wait and have spent since Saturday night trying to transform my shop into the Scandinavian image of Christmas I have in my head. I haven't quiet succeeded in the perfect all white with accents of red and grey but I am pleased with what I have acheived .

I pride myself on selling unique and affordable items from local independent crafters and artists. Its important to me to have ideas and products not supplied by other retailers. I have a wonderful selection of those, including the wooden advent calender made for me by my husband. It stands approx 4 ft high and is hand painted. I commissoned a talented local lady to make the numbered bags for me and think the end result it stunning. A favourite Christmas family piece for years to come. For Sale in the shop or online for £65.

I really love everything about Scandanaivian style, the fresh, clean look of red and white is particularly apealing.

Pretty, framed hand crafted picture decoration available at the white approach £27.50

Affordable, handmade table runners, placemats, bread holders, bottle bags and more.
