wHEN WE WERE SHOPKEEPERS
We loved this space. We’ve since enjoyed repurposing & fitting everything into our lives via our home & garden.
Once upon a time in San Diego…
A fairy-tale-inspired esthetician / artist from Los Angeles met a glowing Glaswegian renaissance man, and a perfect match was made. Shortly thereafter, they moved from California to Scotland, settling in the countryside outside Glasgow.
They eventually opened a shop on The West Highland Way, decorating it in their whimsical, old-school aesthetic, and they stocked the shelves with her hand-crafted green potions, inspired creations, lifestyle wares & gorgeous gift-y things.
They kept the magical wee space open for several years, but proverbial pages turned, new chapters were needed, and they decided it was time to pack up the physical shop, returning it entirely to its online roots in December, 2023. Today you’ll find the range, and the retro magic vibes are still very much alive here in the digital realm.
*All orders are made with love, gift-wrapped and packed with the utmost care, then conveniently shipped right to your home using our trusty courier service.
What YOU’LL FIND IN the online shop:
green ARTISAN SKINCARE & creatively inspired wares: handcrafted in scotland by a californian ESTHETICIAN / artist
aromatherapy, sls-free & free-from bath & BODY
baubles, bells, candles, cards, crystals, CURIOs, decorations, decor, fairtrade gifts, SEASHELLs & more.
THINK ‘Creative Skincare, Creative Lifestyle’
AROMATIC MAGIC
This classic apothecary cabinet was a perfect display for Magic Moon Mist, Room Spray -AKA- Fart Blaster & Artisan Candles
The wave case
This beauty was inspired by a crashing ocean wave. It showcased Crystal Perfume Pendants, Seashells, Crystal Moons & Stars, and other beautiful Artisan wares.
decorative DETAILS
Douglas found this observant little guy, and I’ve always loved that it matches him and his ‘do’ so perfectly. I enjoyed this mini mohawked one greeting the shop guests. He’s now perched in our entryway, welcoming everyone with his discerning gaze.
reupcycled for PLANT PROTECTION MODE
This seaweed & water inspired curio case now lives in our garden as a mini greenhouse, protecting certain herbs & veggies from frost in the colder Winter months.
‘marina’
Marina came to us in pale porcelain tones, sans paint. She was such a fun project to bring to life. I always felt like she looked after the shop in our absence.
magical mermaid at sea
We loved creating a magic atmosphere at the shop, so suspending balloons, bubbles, boats & fairy lights from the ceiling was a big part of creating that vibe.
