Looking For Original Owner Puppets
We have had some really beautiful puppets in to the shop recently. We are so grateful to the owners who have trusted us with their precious toys. When an owner has kept their toys for such a long time and in such amazing cared for condition, they deserve a kind, true and honest appraisal. This is what we give, and the owners have been over the moon with the amounts their toys have brought them and delighted they will have a new home with an appreciative collector. It's a win

New Original Owner Pelham Puppets
We have just had a lovely small collection of late 40's Pelham Puppets in to the shop. It is amazing when these treasures turn up in any condition, but for them to turn up in immaculate condition is fantastic. Usually this would mean they hadn't been played with, but it's pleasing to know these were very treasured puppets and were used by the boy and girl who owned them. They will be in the shop over the next couple of weeks along with lots more later puppets, rare and common

Loyalty Points & News
The loyalty points have been going for over the year now, this means if there has been no activity on your account since then, the points will have dropped off. They last for 12 months. It's been a great way to reward loyal customers and I intend to keep doing a similar thing when this ends 30/9/26. Be sure to use any points by then. Most of you, use your points every other purchase and take the £5 discount, but a few astute collectors have saved and saved! One customer used

Loyalty Scheme Thanks
Hello! Back in the Spring I set up a loyalty scheme on this new website to thank all my regular customers for their support over the last years. It's going really well I hope you'll agree? Most customers are using the £5 discount which is awarded every second purchase roughly, but some astute shoppers are saving them up for a much better reward. We have one customer who is very close to achieving a massive discount of £100 off their next order! All just for being such a loyal

It's Twins!
I may be biased having twins myself but there is always something special when two identical or near enough identical, arrive at the shop at the same time! The Tyrolean Girls are available now in the shop and one of the rope plaited girls will be on site also this week. The other is one of the few shop residents! The Tyrolean Girls below are already in store. Check the shop for characters you may have missed if you haven't looked recently.

Loyalty Scheme
I thought I would set up a loyalty scheme on this new website to thank all my regular customers for their support over the last years. Some customers have been loyal for 12 years since the shop opened in 2013 I am grateful for that. The rewards will be reviewed regularly. 10 Points are awarded for every order that is placed. 10 Points to sign up as a member which you will have to do to spend the points. There will be other ways to earn points once this get's started, so keep
