Fripperies / Oddities
Oddities we have
We regularly come across amazing stuff which is just plain odd, but exactly the kind of oddness you need in your life. Unfortunately our homes are now filled to the brim with offbeat quirk, so our loss is your gain. It really is quite impossible to describe the kind of thing likely to turn up here, so please browse below to find that oddly essential something that you didn't even know existed.
The Fripperies section allows online payment via paypal (you can use your credit or debit card card safely and securely at the paypal till).
