Local Artist Is A Carving Marvel

About a month ago a lady popped into the shop to show me some carved Santa heads made by her husband Peter Hayton. I was amazed by the quality and couldn't wait to get some in the shop for our customers.

Today they arrived and did not disappoint. Wondering if it was too early for Christmas products I was soon reassured when these two Santa hangers were sold within minutes of announcing their arrival on our facebook page.

I then rang Peter to tell him the good news and luckily he has more to bring to the shop next week. They are hand carved from a single piece of wood and that's what makes each one unique.

The wizard carvings have a slightly more mysterious look about them and each one seems to take on its own personality.

These sit flush with the wall as every one of them has a notch carved out of the back ready for hanging.


Keep an eye on our etsy shop for listings selling local crafters work including Peter Hayton's carvings.

Smaller just as wonderful wizards are also a lovely addition to any home, so much so I bought one myself and it will hang in pride of place in my hall.


If any local crafters and artist deserve some recognition Peter Hayton is the one to watch.

A very welcome addtion to the shop.
