We've been on a search again to discover more unique and interesting products to add to our Ruffld collection!!

It takes time to find amazing artists and small individual companies producing something just a bit different, but I think we may have found a few in the last couple of weeks!!

We hope you will be excited by our latest purchases. We know we are!!

Please keep a look out for their appearance on Ruffld soon!  We don't think you will be disappointed!

Mother's Day is on Sunday 15th March this year so will be here before you know it!!  So why not buy your Mum something special to show how much you appreciate her?

We have lots of lovely gifts to choose from including our delightful wooden ducks, and pretty purses by Poppy Treffry. Maybe she would like a Guin or a little unique ceramic bird or animal by Rob Whelpton - a gift to last forever.

Go on - treat your extra-special Mum to an amazing present this year that she can treasure forever.

After all - you only have one Mum!!

As artwork goes there is nothing better than an original picture, so here is a small selection!

We asked some local children to colour in Ruffld and we thought that these deserved a little mention on our website! So colourful!

What do you think?

Just a quick blog to wish everyone a very Happy Chinese New Year.

It is the Year of the Sheep/Goat. Why not take a look at our lovely Herdy sheep! It is their special year after all.

There are 12 Chinese Zodiac animals and the Goat is 8th. The Goat's Lucky numbers are 2 and 7 and their lucky colours are red,purple and brown.

People who are born in the Year of the Goat have a calm and gentle personality. They are kind-hearted too, but quite reserved and quiet. They also have a strong creative side.

Soon Valentine's Day will be here - the most romantic day of the year!  Saturday 14th February is not far away - in fact it is just around the corner!

Possibly the first record of Valentine's Day being associated with romance is in the poem "Parlement of Foules", written by Geoffrey Chaucer in 1382. It was to honour the first anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II  to Anne of Bohemia.

"For this was on seynt Volantynys day, when euary byrd comyth there to chese his make"

("For this was on St.Valentine's Day, when every bird cometh here to choose his mate")

So why not have a look at the gifts we have selected, for...

Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to all our fabulous customers for supporting us last year.  It is much appreciated.

 We would like to wish everyone a very happy, healthy and successful new year, and look forward to showing you all our latest lovely products as soon as we can!!,

Christmas is fast approaching and so now is the time for festive fairs,craft markets and bazaars. With this in mind I thought maybe a few humble hints and tips wouldn't go amiss! So here goes - my personal TOP 10 TIPS!!

1.  In order to have a stall at a fair the first thing is to FIND AN EVENT! Look out for fairs in your area or in places where you are willing to travel. Check the event is suitable for your products. Popular events can get booked up quickly so book early! To find fairs and markets I search the internet, and also chat to other stall holders who often inform me of various school fairs, fetes, and craft markets...

Soon Christmas will be upon us and the countdown will begin!!  Where has this year disappeared to?

Our first Craft Fair for a while is on Saturday at Roydon, so we are making sure everything is ready for a lovely day, meeting lots of people.

If you want to meet us and get a real flavour of our ethos, and our products, then come along between 1pm to 4pm. We would love to say" hello".

And please keep your fingers crossed for excellent weather!!
