Our Happy Customers

I'm so happy this shop opened. I am a collector of moomin kitchenware and I am over the moon that I can buy it in Dublin now. There are other beautiful things in the shop also and the lady at the til was helpful and friendly.

My Beatrix Potter boxset arrived the next day with a lovely handwritten note and very safely packaged. Delighted with it and looking forward to buy some more beautiful and unique items. Thank you.
