This is a very small place which is mostly art work, but it does have a nice variety of jewellery which I went for.

I was looking for picture frames for family photos as a gift. Mel quickly whizzed up a couple of hand cut mounts in minutes and framed said photos in some lovely but modestly priced frames. Excellent service.
