We appreciate your concern but we believe it’s merely a passion not an obsession. Now I’m off to put the kettle on for a cuppa, fair-trade of course, and maybe a cherry bakewell….

The show’s touring for the next couple of months, check them out to see if they are coming to a theatre near you:

Wee Stories

Cheaper delivery~

Postage and packaging on UK deliveries over £50 is now free. We thought about it for a long time, walked in the hills, drank some tea, thought some more and decided to give it a go. Oh also we’ve changed our International delivery system and it is now cheaper, prices start from as little as £1.85. It’s now cheaper for all our customers to buy anything and we feel quite good about this – in fact we had some afternoon tea to celebrate.

Eco & Ethical Icons~
Our customers asked us why we didn’t shout about our eco and ethical principles a bit more so we listened, we had a cup of tea, we made a plan and now were shouting about it a bit. We’ve always believed that style and beauty can still be environmentally friendly and have ethical principles and our customers were right that we didn’t really advertise this. So we created some categories and assessed each product in terms of environmental and social impact of its raw materials and method of manufacturing. Now each product has icons letting you know which criteria it fulfils.
We appreciate that it is difficult for every product to be greener than green and whiter than white and therefore a product may only belong to one category. However, we believe that each of these categories has value and now you can make your decision based on what is important to you.

Departments~
Our collection keeps growing and the last site was getting a bit unruly so we’ve created a whole new system of departments and collections. It’s now easier to find products and easier to browse.

We’ve also been out searching and collecting and will have some more lovely things on the way very soon.

We’ve made a couple of more changes so pay us a visit and check them out when you get a moment. You can reach us at the old address or the new shorter one: www.juliannagrove.com

In the meantime here are 3 very good reasons why it’s a good idea:

Buying Handmade makes for better gift-giving.
The giver of a handmade gift has avoided the parking lots and long lines of the big chain stores in favor of something more meaningful. If the giver has purchased the gift, s/he feels the satisfaction of supporting an artist or crafter directly. The recipient of the handmade gift receives something that is one-of-a-kind, and made with care and attention that can
be seen and touched. It is the result of skill and craftsmanship that is absent in the world of large-scale manufacturing.

Buying handmade is better for people.
The ascendancy of chain store culture and global manufacturing has left us dressing, furnishing, and decorating alike. We are encouraged to be consumers, not producers, of our own culture. Our ties to the local and human sources of our goods have been lost. Buying handmade helps us reconnect.

Buying handmade is better for the environment.
The accumulating environmental effects of mass production are a major cause of global warming and the poisoning of our air, water and soil. Every item you make or purchase from a small-scale independent artist or crafter strikes a small blow to the forces of mass production.

Thank you to everyone for making the first year so memorable.
