"Our time is on loan, only ours to borrow.
What I can't be today, I can be tomorrow."

Showing off this radiant beauty seems fitting, in a week celebrating the Lunar New Year, Ramadan, Lent, a new moon, and a solar eclipse! With lyrics from Paul Weller's The Changingman, Scot's stunning vintage dinner plate features rare salvaged transfers, real gold detailing and hand placed lettering. Truly one of a kind!

For those of you looking to the future, we've got an adorable piggy bank ready to gobble up all your loose change. Decorated in our popular Scooby style, this unique piece is covered in colourful retro florals from the 60s & 70s.

And if YOLO is more your thing, look no further than the latest in our Cheese Pig line... F*CK IT, Eat the Cheese! You know you want to.

Peddle your wares at the Bizarre Bazaar!

Part jumble sale, part makers market, anything goes at the Bizarre Bazaar... art, bric-a-brac, clothing, stories, fortunes, songs, all sorts of weird and wonderful things!

Sweet Trades in the Neighbourhood

My mum makes friends with everyone, so I guess it's not all that surprising that meeting her for coffee around the corner from PRSC would result in this unusual trade! One over-the-counter conversation later we discovered that our neighbours at Lost Horizon coffee shop wanted a mural on their doors, and PRSC needed coffee. We've got all the kit on hand, so object... painted this mural on their gates in exchange for some of their lush coffee beans, which are roasted right here in Stokes Croft. They've now got a mural of a cloud forest coffee plantation (much like the ones in Brazil where their coffee is sourced), and the people attending our weekly People's Art Club & Community Drop-in get top-notch coffee. Wins all round!
