Our June #craft pack is now available at the cottage!
This month we are celebrating butterflies and other pollinators, who work hard all summer to pollinate the cottage garden.

We are open Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. You can make the craft while you visit, or pop into the shop and pick one up to take home.
The packs are #free (#donations are very welcomed).
