When Vinny and I were discussing the current hike in fuel prices recently we had a lightbulb moment when we realised we had the perfect solution for local deliveries, a traditional bakers bike. Way back in the 70's Vinny's dad was a Master Baker and deliveries often took place by bike.
It just so happens that Vinny had acquired a similar bike a few years ago as a bit of a homage to his dad who died in the 1990's, we decided to dust it down and get a logo added and use for local deliveries. No sooner had we positioned it outside the shop but we had a request for a local delivery of one of our infamous hanging baskets. The hanging basket was required quite urgently, as a gift for his visiting daughter. Unfortunately, Vinny was in the middle of painting when the order came in and he had to quickly jump on the bike and ride round to Mr Brimble's. He was delighted to receive the order so quickly.
It has since been a great talking point in the shop and customers love us riding up to deliver their purchases.

At Feather & Twigs, we are currently very much in the latter.
On any normal day, there is already plenty happening behind the scenes. We have our existing shop to run, customers to look after, deliveries arriving, stock to unpack and displays to refresh. Alongside that ...
At Feather & Twigs, we’ve always believed that a good gift should feel as lovely to give as it does to receive.
Over recent years, we’ve noticed a change in the way people choose gifts. It’s becoming less about simply finding something and more about finding the right thing.
We want to know who made it. Where it came from. What it’s made from. Whether it will be used and enjoyed. And increasingly, whether buying it supports the s...
