You may have seen the BBC 1 programme "Money for Nothing". This daytime programme is all about sustainability. Sarah Moore the presenter basically looks for items that are being thrown into a skip at a recycling centre and offers to upcycle the item free of charge. Sarah uses professional specialist designers to develop something fresh and exciting and, once sold, returning any profit back to the original owner.
Feather and Twigs was approached to see if any of the recent upcycled furniture would be of interest. I instantly fell in love with this chair (see picture). I loved the design and materials used, it is a real statement piece. I agreed to pay for the chair which resulted in the film production company visiting the shop to film the receipt of the chair.
You can see me here with Pav the Producer who spent a good couple of hours this week filming inside and outside the shop as well as around the village. The show is due to be aired as part of series 14 in early Spring 2023.
I have decided that I don't want to sell the chair or keep it personally so I am raffling this off for our village charity Croston in Bloom. Tickets can be purchased online for just £1.00 at the following link RAFFLE TICKET FOR "MONEY FOR NOTHING" CHAIR - Feather & Twigs (featherandtwigs.com)
Note: After a little research I found the chair had been upcycled by Leanne Watts (The Upholstery Lady) who is based not too far away in Worsley, Greater Manchester, she is now one of our recommended Artisans and we are on the mailing list to purchase additional furniture from the programme.
The buzz is building, and Croston is ready for one of its most cherished days of the year—Coffee Day, always held on the first Saturday in July.
At its heart, Coffee Day is a Procession of Witness—a beautiful tradition that brings together members of all three principal faiths in the village. It’s a time for reflection, unity, and celebration, and for many in Croston, a chance to reconnect with neighbours and friends, including those who’ve...
At Feather and Twigs, we’ve always believed in celebrating the makers and growers behind the scenes—the hands that nurture, the minds that dream, and the hearts that care. One of those quiet cornerstones is Lyndene, a traditional market garden nestled in Tarleton, Lancashire. Their ethos? Keep it seasonal. Keep it local. Keep it grounded. And we love them for it. Lyndene supplies us with fresh flowers on an ad-hoc basis, depending on the season’s rhythm and the glasshouse glow
