Bovey Tracey Buddies

Here at eckel and noo we are very excited to have been invited to stock some of our sock buddies at the new Porters of Station Road Art and Craft shop in Bovey Tracey. 

It can be tough and sometimes disheartening trying to compete with mass produced cheap toys/collectibles.  Not everyone appreciates the time and effort it takes to create something, or are unwilling to pay slightly more for them, so it's great to find a store that specialises in locally hand made crafts. 

We dropped off our buddies today in time for Porter's opening day this May Bank Holiday.   For all you locals you should go and pay a visit - well worth taking a look!  Alternatively go visit their Facebook Page for more info.

happy shopping.......

Valentine Love Buddies

Meet Chloe.  Chloe is a bookworm and loves the smell of the books in the library.  She also likes bubble baths, Krispy Kreme donuts, reality TV and breakfast is her favourite meal of the day.

 

Introducing Barclay.  Barclay is a superstitious little buddy who likes to pop bubblewrap, loves the sound of rain and enjoys playing poker.  His favourite colour is blue and he is afraid of lemons. 

Or how about a little valentine mini monster?  Great travel companion, key or bag charm.
