Our lovely Pedro the peacock prefers the end of day when things are a little quieter in the retail area. 📸

🐧 A little something for the dog… and a little something for the dog walker! 🐾☕

We’ve gone a little puffin mad here at Blake House! 😂

We’ve just welcomed the adorable Ancol Puffin Treat Toy to our shelves. Not only is he ridiculously cute and cuddly, but you can pop treats inside his tummy for a lovely bit of enrichment and mental stimulation for your dog.

And who better to introduce him to than our lovely neighbour at Gallerie Schmetterling! ❤️

After a trip to see puffins in the wild, she’s captured these gorgeous little characters in her photography, creating beautiful prints, including the lovely canvas and travel mug pictured here.

So naturally, we had to get the puffins together for a little photoshoot! 📸

Now you can treat your dog to a cuddly puffin of their own AND treat yourself to a gorgeous puffin travel mug, perfect for keeping your cuppa warm on those chilly autumn and winter dog walks! 🍂☕

Two independent businesses, two very different puffin products, and one rather cute collaboration!

Both available here at Blake House Craft Centre. Pop in and say hello to us both! ❤️
