We’re taking a little time…

The Mercantile shop is closing its doors for a wee while as we slow down, get back to the workbench and turn our hands to something new.

We’ll be spending the coming months designing and making a new collection of wares, which will be ready just in time for the Christmas season.

In the meantime you can join our mailing list for updates on the launch of our Christmas shop and to get early access to our new festive range, launching in November.

So we got news today that we had missed out on one of the Christmas markets we had applied for... which is disappointing... but it might mean we actually have enough stock to put on the website 🙈🤞

As we're footering about behind the scenes, here's a wee throwback to one of the bespoke pieces we made for @_canavan_ interiors. Love how the spalted Beech looks against the warm tones in the cabinetry and worktop.
A little pear, a little nostalgia, and the beginnings of Christmas in the Pig & Monkey studio. There’s something so special about making festive decorations by hand — little objects that can come out year after year and become part o
Summer hasn't quite left us yet, but Autumn is just around the corner and we have just restocked @littlesparrow_gifts with some wee bits and pieces perfect for this time of year 🍂
Our wee jetsetting cake stand. A few weeks ago this bespoke piece headed over to the states as a wedding gift for a lovely couple, complete with custom engraving to mark the special day. We hope they use it for many happy years.
Although we've hit pause on our online shop in anticipation of our new seasonal range, you can still find lots of bits and pieces in @littlesparrow_gifts in Ballymoney. Something that never made it to our site is this solid Walnut chopping board, in
We’re taking a little time… We are pausing our online shop for a wee while as we slow down, get back to the sketch book and turn our hands to something new. We’ll be spending the coming months designing and making a new collectio
A quiet companion for every story. These handmade porcelain bookmarks are crafted with care—each one shaped, fired, and finished by hand to create a delicate piece that feels as special as the pages it rests between. Light, smooth, and timel
I'm a bit late on the go with this one... as I am with most things 🙈 Another private commission, this time for a Christmas present last year. A bowl made from the most beautiful piece of locally sourced spalted Beech. Thankfully it was delivered i
