    They have eco-friendly oil diffusers, pure essential oils, wooden games and puzzles, recycled silver jewellery, natural bath, body and skincare, chocolate and sweet gifts and  aromatherapy jewellery!

    Emma Bridgewater has a gorgeous new collection, Fruit - and in it, there are lots of goodies in a Blackberry theme!

    Late summer/Autumn (and it's not far off!) is blackberry time - a lovely time to get out there with the kids or without them and get into the world of nature and go blackberry picking.  Come home and have them with ice-cream, yummy, or makeblackberry jam, or have them with natural yoghurt for breakfast - a very healthy way to start the day.
