…today it was so lovely to visit in Perigeux - a beautiful toy shop selling lovely French brand - amongst other gorgeous brands
~~~~~~~
…we love being stockists of - here in the UK - their soft toys are beautifully made and their games, wooden toys, puzzles and colouring books are just so well designed
~~~~~~~
…they have been making toys since 1972, when a group of 20 or so friends searched for a common project that would provide both work and a certain way of life. The group decided to purchase an old mill that had fallen into ruins. They renovated the mill bit by bit so that their families could move in and live there together as a commune - and was formed as a Co-operative making toys - which it still is today .. that definitely gets our ‘vote’ of support here at
