The mood right now really is feeling fragile. So take care of each other ๐Ÿซ‚

So many of my peers in real life and on here have spoken about struggling as we plod through January. Whether it's processing things that happened in 2025 or life things happening now or burnout from the struggle of small biz life while the world is on fire or just feeling unfulfilled and wanting to make changes in their life.

I'm feeling it too. And it's hard to see so many of my peers struggling, but it's so good to see a real shift in mindset happening and seeing so many people wanting to seek happiness over productivity.

The hustle till you drop culture died off a while ago, and now it has evolved into people over profit, which is how it should be! We are on this earth to live, not to just work to pay the bills.

Seeing so many small businesses be open and honest about how they are feeling and the shift of focus to self-care and fulfillment brings me hope. And I've seen my peers bloom because of it! Whether it be within their creative practice or deciding to take a completely different path or maybe get a PT job to just take the weight off a bit, I've seen them thrive because they've allowed themselves space to follow what makes them happy. I would like to see more of this this year.

We are all just trying our best to muddle through the shit show that is happening around us so take care of yourself and take care of each other ๐Ÿงก
We are back open as usual ๐Ÿ™Œ more coffee please โ˜•๐Ÿ˜…

We do not support, promote, use or stock AI-generated art. HN was created as a platform for real people running small businesses that create products that come from their own minds. And we will continue doing that because we need to keep creativity and authenticity alive!!

To me, creativity is what it means to be human. It's how we express ourselves, share ideas, learn from one another, bond with people, share emotions and just all round grow as people by expressing ourselves. Which in turn creates true authenticity. Creativity and authenticity are vital to forming communities and society and we need to nurture that not strip us of it because capitalism said so.

AI can definitely have useful roles in our society. It can do all the monotonous tasks that we need to keep things functioning while we go and be human and create a world we can all enjoy. But all Generative AI art does is take. It's taking our environment, our creative jobs and our ability to express ourselves authentically.

Don't let the bots take all our joy! Hold on to it tight and create from your own mind with your own hands as much as you can!

Artwork by who creates all our branding and graphics.
You guys are the best! ๐Ÿงก

Yesterday was our first day opening after a break over Christmas and New year and you guys showed up ๐Ÿ™Œ

The first day open in January always gives me similar feels to the very first day I opened the shop. I get the same anticipation of not really knowing how it will be. Then feeling so relieved that people came in and then the excitement from those first few sales and feeling so grateful that people are still choosing to shop in this silly little shop! ๐Ÿฅน

It's just one day but it was good first day of what can be a rollercoaster of a month. Thank you so so much for continuing to shop with us and here's to another year of supporting small businesses because it really is where the joy is! ๐Ÿงก
After much needed rest over Christmas and New Year we are back up open! ๐ŸŒˆ We can't wait to see you! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

We are open:
Tues-Sat 11am-5pm
Sun 12-4pm
January gets harder and harder every year and I know it's not just me. We are all constantly exhausted because society just doesn't allow us to truly rest anymore. When really all we want is to feel cosy, safe and loved ๐Ÿงก

I've been craving a textile craft project, and I'm looking for window display inspiration, so I made this cushion based on an illustration did for us.

I would really love it if 2026 could bring us all cosy and safe vibes with lots of hugs
Getting ready for another year filled with silliness ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

We are back in the shop this week working away getting ready to open this Saturday!

Is there anything in particular you'd like to see in the shop this year? Maybe brands you love or a product we're lacking. Let us know ๐Ÿ‘‡
Know someone that loves our shop but struggling to know exactly what to get? Why not get them a Gift Card to spend at their leisure ๐Ÿ’

We've had digital gift cards for a few years but not really promoted it because, as some of our regulars may know, the system we used was clunky to redeem in-store. But now our online store and bricks and mortar systems have been linked and you can easily redeem gift cards online and in-store ๐Ÿ™Œ

We currently only offer digital giftcards that can be purchased through our online shop. After purchasing you will then be emailed a digital gift card.
Shop with us online and have indie treats delivered to your door ๐Ÿ’Œ or click and collect in-store ๐Ÿ›๏ธ
Our silly little shop is open 6 days a week showcasing over 100 designer makers from across the UK ๐ŸŒˆ
