Easter Break


Cow & Ghost have just returned from a very enjoyable few days away in Pembrokeshire.

We'd seen images of the vintage 'Secret Caravan' online, and being huge Enid Blyton fans, just couldn't resist.


It didn't disappoint. A rural haven, beautifully and sympathetically restored to include all modern conveniences. Set in 2 acres of garden, we really felt as though we'd found paradise.


We used the time to read, walk and generally catch up. A few stop offs on the way there which proved to be wonderful opportunities to re stock for our next event this weekend. As ever, really looking forward to the spring fair at the National Botanic Garden of Wales.


On our way home we finally got to see the restored Cardigan Castle and Castle Green House. We've followed this project since 2003, and were delighted to see it has recently won the UK Restoration of the Year. All we can say is WOW. It's amazing. Well worth a visit if you're ever in the area. We look forward to returning.

April days



March has flown by at Cow & Ghost.
We've been busy preparing for several upcoming fairs and events.

Lots of trips out looking for new stock. Really pleased with things we've been able to source. Some really great finds.



Also very busy with the Welsh Blankets. The new line of tea cosies made for Spring have been very successful. We've sourced a good selection of blankets to add to our stock, and also been lucky with finding some damaged ones that can be re purposed into various items.

This is a particular favourite. Soon to be made into cushions and other items. Great being able to re use something like this and give it a new life.



Looking forward to lots of upcoming events. Details will be on blog and Facebook pages well in advance.
