Gosh!

Has it really been that long since we posted any news?

Wow - that just shows how busy we’ve been!

There’s lots to update you on but for now, how about a quick peek at the set-up for our first 2026 pop-up?

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be taking part in Spring Gathering at Burton Manor. It’s on from 10am - 3pm tomorrow, and is honestly one of our favourite events.

Set in a stunning walked garden with a fabulous on-site cafe, lots of vintage goodies and an authentic French Brocante vibe, it’s the perfect way to spend a sunny Saturday. So, why not pop along - we’d love to see you xx

Took some time out today to visit the next step in the life of one of my favourite shops Tea and Roses in Bridgnorth. What Deborah has created is truly inspirational and proof indeed that there is life beyond high street retail.

Well worth a visit xx

Exactly 9 months to the day after we handed back the keys to our lovely shop in Ironbridge, we got the keys to our new Bolthole in stunning Snowdonia!

Situated in a peaceful hamlet and surrounded by breathtaking scenery, this once heart-of-the-village shop has laid empty and crumbling for many years and desperately needs a new purpose.

A place close to Debra's heart, join us as we work our magic to reinvent it as a home for our soon-to-be-launched creative retreats. Whilst we'll be sharing snippets of our story on this page, the full adventure will unfold on Instagram at

What a fabulous day we had popping up at Vide Grenier Whitchurch, a new French style vintage sale. With lots of gorgeous treasures to buy, delicious food and drink and amazing traders and customers, it was the perfect way to spend a Saturday.

Sooo looking forward to taking part in this lovely event. It marks the beginning of a series of The Bolthole popups over the Summer and the beginning of a new vintage journey.

📢So here it is…. and about time too.
The first ever Vide Grenier in Whitchurch!

🇫🇷A French Inspired Antiques and Collectibles Market. 🇫🇷

We’re proud to announce the first of many flea market/attic sales to be held on the second Saturday of every month within the town centre, commencing from the 14th of June.

Let’s do it how the French do it, a relaxed open air shopping experience with
CIDRE, SAUCISSES ET MUSIQUE.

Excited to be taking part in the first ever Ellesmere Antique & Vintage Fair! It’s all part of the plan to create a series of Bolthole popups, bringing a bit of vintage creativity to a town near you. This weekend we’ll be looking for new homes for lots of lovely pieces left over from the shop in Ironbridge, so come on over and pick up something special from us or one of the other fabulous traders. #

Tomorrow is the last day that our lovely shop on The Wharfage in Ironbridge will be open to the public before we begin the big move to our new studio on the outskirts of Shrewsbury.

Whilst we would love to take all our carefully curated furniture and fittings with us, we don’t have room for it all, so will be holding a ‘Moving On’ FLASH SALE where many of the pieces will be available for ONE DAY ONLY, at greatly reduced prices.

So if you’ve long had your eye on that vintage bookcase, upcycled chair or other quirky item to give your home the perfect finishing touch, now’s your chance to bag yourself a bargain.

Hurry! On Sunday they’ll be whisked away to their new home and only available online or at future pop-up shopping events.
