With Rich's 'Thornbury, 140 Buildings' tea rowel having been such a hit we decided to get his Boxing Day painting made into a tea towel too. A perfect stocking filler and easy to post too. Limited stock available in the shop now for £8.80 each.
This is a stunning chest of drawers completed by one of customers. Teresa has created a lovely finish using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ with a soft multicoloured design.

Here's a glimpse of the new wooden postcard. Please the the news below for more details.
We are pleased to announce that we now stock The Wooden Postcard Company. These stunning wooden postcards are a great addition to Surroundings. From Swallows and Amazons, vintage Flight to Alice in Wonderful and even a besboke design based on Richard's Thornbury 140 Buildings printed on to them. These are a perfect gift that can be easily popped in the post, they are standard postage size and can be written on with an ordinary biro.
Rich's latest print is of Tockington Manor School and is entitled 'Tockington, Spring'. He has worked furiously on this one so that we can donate the first framed and signed print of 500 to the Tockington Summer Ball prize fund, which takes place on the 11th July. Small, medium and large mounted and framed prints will soon be available in the shop too. We'll also be having some greetings cards produced. If you are interested, please get in touch.
