Barty's Trading: Homely Charms and Garden Elegance

Hi everyone! I really love discovering unique British brands because they not only support local communities but also exude a unique charm that's hard to find elsewhere. Each purchase feels like a contribution to the local economy, fostering growth and sustainability within the community. British brands often have a story behind them, adding depth and personality to their products. This charm is not just in the aesthetics but also in the quality and authenticity that these local brands bring to the table.

I want to feature a wonderful brand called Barty's Trading, a gorgeous brand that sells a variety of home and garden accessories for everyone. A little about the them- Barty's Trading is run by Sue and her husband Mike, showcases their growth from a small stall to a prominent presence at many local village days, fetes, and county shows throughout the South West of England. This amazing brand began with Sue's passion for kitchen wood-ware, selling really well at a car boot sale, and has flourished into a haven of carefully selected home and garden treasures.

Honestly, browsing on their website has been pretty delightful! The brand is a treasure trove of British-made woollen blankets, French soaps, terracotta and galvanised garden pots, and planters. However, what I really love is their collaboration with local blacksmiths to create stunning metal garden art. These pieces are not just accessories; they are statements of craftsmanship and design.

Now, it is time to share my favourite pieces from their collection:

Swallows (Triple) - Metal garden accessories, like these triple swallows, are incredibly cool. They bring a dynamic, living element to gardens. The way these swallows dance in the breeze adds a captivating, natural aesthetic. The untreated metal, aging gracefully, blends beautifully with the outdoor environment, enhancing the garden's charm over time. The triple swallows adds life to any garden as they move gently in the wind. Standing tall, these swallows bring a sense of freedom and natural beauty to outdoor spaces.

Doves in Circle - I adore metal accessories because you can also hang them outside your house or anywhere and they simply look amazing. The intricacy and elegance of this piece make it one of my favourites from their shop. Whether mounted on a garden wall or used as indoor décor, its rustic charm and artistic design enhance any space. The untreated steel, which ages naturally, adds a touch of timelessness.

Large Single Fern - I absolutely love this beautifully crafted fern as it looks so elegant. With its detailed design, is more than just garden decor; it's a work of art. It brings an organic, earthy feel to the garden, blending perfectly with the natural surroundings. I can imagine the metal fern in my future garden, standing elegantly among the greenery, adding some much-needed rustic charm to the landscape.

Pure New Wool Shetland Lambswool Throw - This throw is not just a blanket; it's a piece of British heritage. Made in Yorkshire, it is super cute and looks like a rainbow amidst the clouds. I love the bright, bold colours, and its soft texture make it a perfect addition to any home, bringing warmth and vibrancy. I can see this going well on a bed, sofa or used in a home office.

Speaking of the brand's lovely metal garden accessories, they are a dream for any garden or small balcony. I feel that the versatility of these pieces allows them to fit seamlessly into various spaces, even indoors, offering a rustic charm that's hard to find elsewhere. For those with smaller spaces, Barty's Trading offers smaller accessories that can transform a tiny balcony or indoor area into a cozy, stylish corner.

Each of these items from Barty's Trading is not just a product; they really represent the best of British craftsmanship and design. They would make lovely additions to all types of homes, from the modern to the traditional- especially for the outdoor spaces in any house! The wide range of goodies at Barty's Trading, from the metal garden art to the cozy lambswool throws, showcases the diversity and beauty of British design, making each piece a unique gift for yourself or a loved one. I'd highly recommend checking out their shop!
