Goosey Gander Shop open Today and Tomorrow

A nice batch of wicker and twig baskets just came in yesterday, along with some fun heart shaped baking and springform pans, two very pretty lime green and deep Portuguese baking dishes, a brand new and unopened ocean floor puzzle, a paper cutter, and a beautiful serpentine silver necklace from Florence.

The Shop is still quite full of all sorts of other interesting things despite selling another 56 items on Sunday, thanks to all our wonderful Shoppers for visiting and all the kind Vendors for bringing in such super things to sell!

Open 10 am to 4pm on both days. Come have a look :)
