Weird shop. Lovely items. Asked about a book (more to make conversation than anything else) which I was told would be in stock there, was given the most convoluted response as to why the book wasnt there or summat (got the book from my local library). What with the mask I had to get out quickly for air. Clearly not mass produced stuff so expect to pay . Which is fair.

I had been looking for a particular item online for what felt like forever. I happened to come across Two Doors Studio after checking the designer's gallery which stated her items were stocked here. As I am in Scotland I had no way of attending the store in person so had a look on their website which offered a virtual tour of the shop, so I had a browse round the shop using the virtual tour and spotted the items i was looking for!!! I emailed the shop to ask if they were able to post the items to me if I paid by telephone. I was absolutely delighted when I received a reply back from them saying
