Just spent another happy hour or so browsing the excellent little shops at Maws craft centre near Ironbridge. This place has really raised it’s game in recent years and the mix of beautiful products for sale along with the extremely kind, friendly and knowledgeable artisans who create them makes for a truly peaceful and really enjoyable shopping experience. I absolutely love spending time in Loam the plant shop - the enthusiasm from The owner and her knowledge of plants is unrivalled and I’ve become totally hooked on indoor plants thanks to her. Mist has beautiful individual pieces of handcrafted jewellery by the very talented silversmith and I’m slowly building up a lovely individual collection of unique pieces from this very special shop. Our home is constantly filled with the gorgeous scent of lemongrass and ginger candles from the fabulous Ironbridge candle making company who even offer a refill service as well as delicious body lotions and beautiful items for the home. I won’t buy my handmade soaps from anywhere other than Pink Moon creations now as the scent stays all the way to the end of the bar and it doesn't turn into a slimey mush as I’ve found with other soaps...the lemon one is gorgeous, I love it! The bath products from Dona Elementis are also well worth a try. The sleepy night time oil in the bath is so soothing and relaxing you won’t want to get out! To top it all is the fab Tile Press cafe which sells delicious coffee, cakes and savoury items, many of which are gluten free. Just what’s needed before or after one of the many gentle walks which can be started from Maws. It’s definitely our ‘go to’ place to find peace, good food, wonderful friendly customer services and top quality items. Well worth a visit.
