traditional garden games - summer fun

As the summer feel almost a glimpse away and with Easter approaching fast maybe its time to get some family fun into the garden. We are proud to introduce our latest collection from The Traditional Garden Games Company. This company have introduced a range of good quality, hard wearing traditional games and activities for all the family to enjoy.
If you want to encourage your children or grand children to indulge in a little outdoor activity then these products are fantastic. How about organising a family game of traditional boules, or traditional skittles to show off your under arm skills.
A giant game of snakes and ladders with hidden tasks, where you don’t just play the game, you become part of the game moving up and down the snakes and ladders on a giant 3 meter square PVC board. Test your precision skills with a traditional game of lawn darts or the old favourite ‘4 in a row’.
A great game for the grand children is teaching them the skills and etiquette of crochet. these lovely wooden sets come in both full size croquet and children’s size croquet sets. The full croquet size set is also fantastic for a cheeky afternoon with friends and pimms.
My personal favourite has to be the ultimate sports day set. This one for me has the highlights of the traditional sports day. Compete for 1st 2nd and 3rd place in this highly entertaining

box set of the egg and spoon race, the sack race, the three legged race and running race. Complete with a start and finish line this traditional games sports day box set has it all for a truly memorable days fun and entertainment……… maybe a few prizes for the winners is in order xxxx

Filed under: new products — kati @ 3:18 pm
What about a lovely Country Pin Board?

Do you find that you collect pieces of paper, bits of info, business cards & tickets? When you come to use/need them you can’t remember where you put them? Loose but important pieces of paper & appointment cards need there own stylish home that wont clutter up your home but enhance it with a shabby chic and country twist. A lovely country fabric memo board would look lovely in the hallway, above the phone for convenience. maybe a heart shaped cream note holder or a dark brown metal heart in the bedroom for not only notes but it also makes a great jewellery & scarf holder. A sturdy shabby chic bird damasks duck egg blue pin board in the office for heavy duty notes. A rustic heart shaped chalk board in the kitchen for those scribbled notes to let the kids know you will be late home or to remind your partner to hand the washing out is always a winner. Alternatively combine both a chalk and memo board with the fantastic country peg, chalk board that lets you write at the to and pop appointments, memos & notes underneath. We are constantly updating this area of products as we believe that they really are a fantastic thing for every home and now with so many styles to choose from they can be tailored for each room. So why not take a look, we think you will love them and they make a really good gift for a wedding, birthday…..
ps. this vintage inspired metal postcard magnet note holder is perfect just to tell a good friend you appreciate them……

We are loving our new exciting collection of door stops and hope you love them too. No more shoving something unimaginative (such as a folded up piece of card, we’ve all done it!) wedged under a door.

These door stops come in a variety of colours to suit the deco of the room. They have a real country look and simplicity to them and make a really good gift. It’s the answer to the age old question, what do you get someone that has everything?

Children’s Clothes

Filed under: new products — kati @ 12:11 am

Touches has introduced a new product range to our collection, children’s clothes. We have ‘dipped our toes’  in a select range which both Justin and myself chose at a recent show.

We decided on the designs by a company that we felt were unique, well made and quality products. With ranges such as ‘cupcakes’ for girls and ’soldiers’ and ‘tractors’ for boys as well as lovely hand knitted pram coats and cord dresses we just couldn’t help but coo at how cute they were. We also loved the accessories that they had to offer including hot water bottles, raggy dolly and toy bags.

So please have a look and tell us what you think, we would love your feedback.
