Martin's Christmas gift and card shop
Welcome to my little shop! If you are looking at it on a phone, it will work better if you have the phone in 'landscape' (horizontal) mode.
For the run-up to Christmas, I have simplified and reduced the range of items I normally have for sale - but I've also added some lovely new mugs and coasters with Teesdale images! This is partly to make it easier for folk to make a choice from the selection on offer, but also to limit the range to those items that I already have in stock, or can be sure of getting within a few days.
And also, I am still working on getting my house ready to put on the market (almost done), so I need to keep life a bit simpler for a while.
(I'm 'downsizing' not moving away, if I can find a house to buy - so please let me know if you know of a two/three-bed, detached house with a bit of garden and a view that might be coming up for sale; I'd prefer one that needs some renovating, in Teesdale or Weardale.)
Christmas fairs: Do come along and say hello - and save the cost of P&P!
Saturday 27 November: Middleton Mart, 10am-3pm, a not-to-be-missed event with free entry and 70 stalls of goodies.
Thursday 2 December: Stainton Village Hall, 6-9pm, free entry.
Sunday 5 December: Book fair and crafts, Masonic Hall, Middleton from 10am.
Thank you for looking - I hope you find what you're after!
