Opened in September 2003, Country
Chic specialises in beautiful gifts for the home and
garden. The first thing you notice in the shop is the
wonderful aroma emanating from the gorgeous scented candles
made locally in Waddington. The ground floor contains lots of
lovely hand-made lavender-filled hearts, stainless steel
tableware from Culinary Concepts which make fabulous gifts.
Hand-painted mugs and jugs, locally-made hand-embroidered wall
hangings, books, stationary and contemporary silver jewellery
by Pistachio. In the potting shed at the rear you will find
great garden gift ideas such as anti bug mugs, wallsconces,
planters, plants in a bag and fabulous painted iron garden
furniture.
The
stock is displayed on French and Gustavian-style painted
furniture (which is also for sale), alongside smaller pieces
that Sarah paints herself using the Malabar paint range
stocked in the shop. The first floor houses a magnificent
Bordeaux-style bed, wonderful cotton quilted bedspreads and
woollen throws, and a small range of fabrics, pretty table
lamps and cushions. Also upstairs is the kitchen area with
colourful enamelware from Garden Trading and Chandlers, and
superb accessories such as bright ironing board covers, peg
bags and laundry bags from Greengate and Cally & Co.
