Choosing between soy, paraffin and rapeseed candles? Start with the maker’s information about the finished candle, rather than treating the wax name as a quality rating. This FAQ draws on published wax-supplier information; it does not identify the ingredients of individual candles in our range.
Wax supplier Bio Green Wax describes soy wax as soybean oil hardened by hydrogenation. Soy can also be part of a blend: manufacturer AAK documents plant-based waxes that can be blended with ...
Beautiful Homes. Thoughtful Gifts. Seasonal Living.
There is something rather special about Christmas at Feather & Twigs. Perhaps it's the warm glow of candlelight, the beauty of natural Continue Reading
There is something wonderfully comforting about nature. The sound of birdsong on a quiet morning, the sight of a hare darting across a field, the first flowers of spring or the changing colours of autumn. These simple moments have a remarkable ability to lift our spirits, calm our minds and remind us to appreciate the world around us.
At Feather & Twigs, we believe that connection with nature sh...
Making Local our First port of Call
There is something special about living in a community where you can walk down the street and find independent shops, cafés and businesses run by people you know.
They bring character to our villages and towns. They create jobs, support local events, champion other small businesses and give our high streets an identity that simply cannot be replicated online or by large national chains.
But if we want ...
There are times when running an independent business feels busy, and then there are times when everything seems to happen at once.
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...
At Feather & Twigs, we believe there is something very special about knowing who made the things we bring into our homes.
Behind a handmade bag, piece of artwork, candle, ceramic mug or bar of soap is a person. Someone has had the idea, developed the design, sourced the materials and spent time learning and perfecting the skills needed to make it.
That is why supporting British makers, artists, designers and small independent businesses i...
Sometimes a move is about much more than changing address. Sometimes it marks the moment when you realise just how far you have come – and where you want to go next.
Five years ago, following the uncertainty of Covid, Croston Feather & Twigs became a limited company and we took over a small independent shop in the heart of Croston.

There is a definite change happening in gifting this autumn.
At Feather & Twigs, we're seeing people move away from buying something simply because they need a present. Instead, they want to find the present — something useful, beautiful and personal enough to show that some thought went into choosing it.
For Autumn 2026, gifting is warmer, more individual and increasingly about the little luxuries that make everyday life better....
For many adults, particularly parents and grandparents, the summer holidays are less of a holiday and more of an elaborate juggling act. Work continues, emails still arrive and deadlines don’t disappear simply because school has finished for six weeks.
Add childcare, days out, holiday clubs, sleepovers and the inevitable last-minute change of plan, and by September many of us are ready for a reset.
Behind every handcrafted piece is a maker – and sometimes the best way to support them is to let them concentrate on making.
There is something particularly special about buying an object that has been made by hand. You can see the maker’s choices in it, feel the materials and, quite often, discover a story that simply doesn’t exist with something mass-produced.
Following the success of last year’s event, the Community Art Fair returns to Croston Old School for its second year on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th October 2026, bringing together a wonderful collection of artists, makers and creative talent.
Open from 10am until 4pm on both days, the Art Fair is an opportunity to enjoy an inspiring s...
