Once Long Ago / 2
Our fairytale Christmas begins in our windows; for every night, when all is quiet, and the snow has fallen deep, the tale of The House In The Wood is played out – by three imprisoned sisters and a crow, that was once a prince.

Come peer in the doll’s house for a Christmas from Once Long Ago, and inside our store you’ll rediscover the magic of every childhood Christmas.


Ladies at the windows stare out; broken baubles litter the landing; a drift of gingerbread leaves pile in the middle of the living room floor; and the plumbing has taken a spooky turn. Come peer in the doll’s house for a Christmas from Once Long Ago, and inside our store you’ll find a lot, lot more.

Our Christmas candles are potted up in vintage tin moulds and finished with mossy tops – and are just £6.50 each. Your festive table or mantelpiece sorted. Just a few left / store collection only.
If you love a handmade Christmas – one brimming with tradition, charm and craft, then we have it: from vintage hand-thrown ceramics and homemade folk art antiques; to home-baked Christmas tree decorations and personalised A G Hendy & Co gift boxes; and all packed with beautiful brushes and useful things for your home. Visit our Online Shop, or better still, our store, for so much more.

We are now open every day up to and including Christmas Eve, 11am – 5.30pm. No need to knock, come on in.

A Merry Christmas to one and all
Goodnight and sleep tight
