Is anyone else a weirdo sensory nutter who cuts the top of their socks no matter what??

These rainbow bamboo socks are my new favourite thing from one of our ethical companies that support indigenous and at risk communities thrive. We choose selectively what is available in store over filling the shelves with anything that has a mark up.

Thanks for continuing to support our little community and ethos of grass roots, considerate, interrelated consuming.

You all went a bit nuts for the IRIS scent in this new range.....here it is back on the shop floor.
Hopefully I ordered enough for all the wonderful women out there doing amazing jobs, not just as biological mothers.
In floriography the iris symbolizes faith, courage and wisdom. And in Greek mythology it was seen as a bridge between heaven and earth. A messenger of sorts.....

What are you saying YES to this season?

Some of you may have heard through the local mycelium that the shop is no longer for sale, which a lot of you have commented on. Thank you for the love.

Community has always been a big priority for me, weaving the web, bringing folk together, sharing our stuff.

My other life for the past 10 years has been within somatic movement and relational body therapy in Hythe, it is and continues to be a humbling and all encompassing additional schedule as well as caring daily for a parent with dementia and Parkinson's disease.

Despite all of 'this' I have managed to organise myself + make it work somehow with the help from some very dear friends (you know who you are).

So, as of the end of December.... officially.... I will be taking over the shop and therefore keeping the healthy, supportive, ethical community hub that Wholefoods has turned into alive and kicking.

Thanks for all the well wishes so far and as always this shop wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all you guys, close, far and wide who continue to make a choice to support shopping locally and consciously when it's so easy to do otherwise, especially this time of year.

Much love
Klara 🤍

Comfrey has been used for centuries to treat varieties of pain and inflammation issues.

Thanks to the gorgeous Lesley .folk.shop we have more recently been selling a lot of our comfrey and calendula balm for tattoo healing for its skin and wound healing agents and subtle pain relief.

Commonly used to speed up healing of bruises, broken bones, contusions and clinically proven to aid global musculoskeletal pain, especially arthritis, muscle strain and sports related injury....its a great bit of kit to have in your medicine cupboard.

I read recently of a single-blind randomised clinical trial 164 participants compared the efficacy of comfrey against NSAID's (anti inflammatory drugs) used for ankle sprains and pain and wouldn't you know it performed better than diclofenac gel!

Comfrey contains an ingredient called allantoin, which aids the regrowth of skin along with rosmarinic acid and tannins it can help soften and exfoliate dead skin cells.

We now have some mini 10ml tins in stock, alongside our standard 60ml jars that you can trial out before investing in the big daddies. Great for travelling, camping or handbag emergencies and of course your post op at the tattooist!
