Since we started The Clothes Horse nine years ago we have helped families get costumes for their little ones.  We have helped create Victorian outfits, sheep, various characters for World Book Day, characters for plays and of course Christmas productions.

We love it too.  We thoroughly enjoy seeing a panicked parent come in to our shop with a costume that needs to be created and not really knowing where to start only for them to leave happy having found something that will work for their child and will fit the bill.  Not only that but they have not had to spend heaps of money on a costume their child is unlikely to wear again.

Whilst we were looking for a new premises we always had you in mind. We spent time speaking to many of you who come to see us and knew that you wanted somewhere you could easily find, a place where you could still find great quality clothes for your family as well as a place where you could stay and chat to friends. We feel we have found this place and we are excited.

What clothes they no longer need, any clothes that need repairing (thanks mum!) As well as any winter clothes the boys may need this season.

I love summer, spending time with the boys and just being together. To keep things easy we go outside lots as a family. We go often to the beach, woods as well as adventures exploring new parts of Cornwall or revisiting favourites. Sometimes we take the train or bus to mix things up make it a bit more exciting.

I decided to stop. To not pack in our days, to let the boys just rest. When I started to do this it was a relief, I guess I didn’t really want to be cramming in too much into each day either, I wanted to take things slow.
