A little glimpse into the shop 🤎

A cosy little corner of Towcester filled with beautiful homeware, thoughtful gifts, jewellery, candles and those little things you didn’t know you needed until you spotted them on the shelf.

We love finding pieces that make your home feel a little more special — or make the perfect gift for someone you love.

Come in for a browse next time you’re in Towcester ✨

Buying a home in Towcester? 🏡🤎

Forget the standard bottle of w**e — how about a housewarming gift that actually feels like home?

Our Towcester collection makes the perfect gift for new homeowners, from locally designed pieces to little reminders of their new hometown. Thoughtful, unique and something they’ll want to keep long after the moving boxes have disappeared.

Perfect for new neighbours, first homes, moving-in gifts… or a little present to yourself because you finally got the keys. 🔑

Pop into the shop and find a little piece of Towcester to take home.

Spend a day in the shop with me 🤎

A little glimpse behind the scenes at The Slow Life — opening up, rearranging shelves, wrapping your purchases, chatting to customers and, inevitably, moving things around because apparently nothing can stay in the same place for too long. 😅

I love these slow shop days. Being surrounded by beautiful homeware, vintage finds and thoughtful gifts, pottering around and seeing what catches your eye.

If you’re in Towcester, come and have a little potter around yourself — you never know what you might find.

I moved my shop into another shop on the same high street. Have you been yet?

Sometimes the best ideas aren’t planned.

A few weeks ago, I moved my little gift shop into another shop just up the road. Instead of two separate spaces, you’ll now find beautiful homeware, thoughtful gifts, candles, vintage finds and handmade pieces all under one roof.

I genuinely think it’s a wonderful collaboration. We each bring something different, but together we’ve created a space that’s bigger, warmer and so much more inspiring than any of us could have done alone.

If you’re in Towcester, come and have a browse. We can’t wait to welcome you. 🤍

Things I do when the shop is closed… 👀

Running a little shop doesn’t stop when I lock the door.

It’s sourcing vintage finds, unpacking deliveries, designing bespoke orders, walking my four-legged supervisor, and constantly searching for products that deserve a place on our shelves.

The last one is probably the hardest.

I’d love us to become the kind of shop where you discover things you wouldn’t find in every garden centre or chain store. That means seeking out small makers, independent artists and unusual finds that are worth the hunt.

Slowly, we’re getting there. 🤍

I’ve been hiding these little Match Pot Mini Toby Jugs all around the new shop while we’re getting set up. Pretty sure Louise wasn’t impressed 😄

They’ve been keeping us company though during the move… and now they’re looking for new homes.

See if you can spot them all when you visit!
