We're delighted to be open again after the lockdown, albeit for slightly reduced hours:

We are happy to arrange private shopping appointments outside these times, including on Mondays, if you require.

We want to show our solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and the protests across the globe in reaction to the murder of George Floyd. This tragic death has shone a light on the fact that racism is an international emergency.
We are offering a series of children’s books which celebrate influential black figures throughout history. 100% of profits from the sales of this series will go to anti-racist charities.
Anne Mathieson lives in Birsay, Orkney where she works as a mental health officer and social worker. When she’s not hard at work you will find her roaming the beaches of Orkney in search of wood to carve into beautiful objects for your home. We had a chat with her to find out more about her craft and her ethos of striving for a more self sufficient, sustainable way of life.
