🌿 NEW OCTOBER POP-UP 🌿

Say hello to our latest local maker pop-up! 👋💚
Throughout October, we’re welcoming Arrowell Healing, a small independent maker based just down the road in Stirchley.

Arrowell has created a colourful collection of handmade storage and gift boxes, giving repurposed materials a new lease of life and turning them into something useful and unique. ♻️✨

Each one is individually made, with lots of different colours, prints and sizes to choose from – perfect for storage, gifting or adding a little personality to your home.

You'll find the collection in store from 1st–28th October, so pop in and take a look! 🌿

Arrowell Healing also makes bespoke natural skincare, which isn't part of this pop-up, but you can discover more of their wider range over on Instagram Laura J Mann.

🥬🍅 Grown just 7 miles from our shop… look what’s arrived this week! 🌱
We absolutely LOVE this time of year when the shelves start filling up with locally and organically grown produce from Marcus at in Halesowen 💚

This week's harvest is looking particularly colourful:
🌱 Fresh spinach
🌈 Rainbow chard
🥬 Curly kale
🌿 Rhubarb
🧅 Shallots
💛 Yellow courgettes
💚 Green courgettes
🧅 Red & white spring onions
🥒 Cucumbers
🍅 Mixed cherry tomatoes
🌿 Fresh basil & curly parsley
🥚 Plus their truly free-range brown & beautiful blue eggs!

Dovehousefields Farm follows the principles of regenerative, organic farming, using zero chemicals on their produce and instead relying on natural compost and fertilisers, barriers and companion planting to help manage pests.

One of our favourite things about working with such a small local grower is seeing the selection change throughout the British growing season — what you find on our shelves genuinely reflects what's being harvested locally right now. 🌱

We're currently receiving a fresh delivery every Friday, but as Dovehousefields is a small holding, quantities are naturally limited.

So if locally grown, seasonal food is your thing, come and see what's been harvested this week! 💚

🧼 The Clean Kilo Collection – Edition 5: Cleaning Refills ♻️

Cleaning products you'll use every day... without the single-use plastic.

Our best sellers are:
✨ Ginger Washing Up Liquid
🫧 Fig Leaf Hand Soap
👕 Neroli Fabric Conditioner

But did you know we also stock:
🍽️ Dishwasher Powder
🧽 Cleaning Soap
✨ Destainer Powder

What makes our cleaning range even more special is that it's part of a circular refill system.
Our products are supplied by two fantastic UK refill pioneers, and , who deliver them in large returnable drums that are collected, cleaned and refilled again and again – helping to keep packaging in use instead of becoming waste. Both companies are committed to making effective, biodegradable refill products that support a more circular economy.

Every refill is a simple swap that helps reduce unnecessary plastic, and because you're only buying what you need, it's easy to top up little and often.

Pop in with your containers (or pick one up in store) and discover just how easy refilling your everyday cleaning essentials can be.

💚 Keep an eye out for the next edition of The Clean Kilo Collection!
