A pretty little shop opposite Paignton Pier, selling hand-made gifts, Pebble Pictures, personalised presents, and unique up-cycled items. Also, Vintage cake stands, Teapot bird feeders, and tea-cup scented candles.
Another great purchase from Lollipops and Roses ???? ????. Cannot wait for the shop to be open again so I can come and browse through all the lovely goodies there.
