🌿✨ Join us this Thursday in Corbridge for A Midsummer's Eve – we'll be in our pop-up shop and we're very much looking forward to it!

This will be our very first time taking part, and we're so excited to experience this wonderful evening. From 4pm until 9pm, come along and enjoy the entertainment, soak up the atmosphere, browse the stalls and explore the fantastic independent shops, many of which will be staying open late.

If you're planning a visit, we'd love for you to pop by and say hello. It's set to be a lovely evening and we can't wait to be part of it!

Visit Corbridge ✨🌿

There's so many beautiful handmade creations here at Olive & Myrtle 💚 we often hear customers say "I could spend an absolute fortune in here" or "I could spend all day in here" - and it's true. There's so much to see and so many things that I would buy...here's just a small selection of things that have caught my eye today.
Looking to enhance your home, buy a special gift or just come for a browse, we're open 7 days a week.

🌿 Come and shop with us in style! - all of these and more will be coming with us to Corbridge next week! More on this very soon!...

Our colourful screen-printed jute shopping bags are practical, beautiful and made with sustainability in mind. We're delighted to welcome two new designs to the collection – Moths and Black Cat. 🖤🦋

Made from natural jute, one of the world's most sustainable plant fibres, these sturdy bags are designed to be a long-lasting alternative to single-use plastic. Strong, lightweight and fully biodegradable, they're perfect for shopping trips, market days, books and everyday essentials.

Handcrafted in India, each bag celebrates thoughtful craftsmanship and makes a wonderful gift for nature lovers, gardeners and anyone looking to make more sustainable choices.

Which design would you choose? 🌿

🌿 Thank you to everyone who voted for us! 🌿

We're incredibly grateful to have been nominated for Homeware Store of the Year – North East. The winners will be announced on 23rd June, and whatever the outcome, we're genuinely touched by the support we've received from our wonderful customers.

Over the next few days, we'd love to share some of our favourite homeware collections and tell you a little about the stories behind them.

For more than a decade, Olive & Myrtle owner Emily has carefully sourced products that reflect the values at the heart of the business: ethical production, sustainability, traditional craftsmanship, fair trade principles and supporting small makers wherever possible.

These beautiful kilim cushions are a perfect example. Handcrafted using traditional techniques, each one carries its own unique character and celebrates skills that have been passed down through generations. We believe our homes should be filled with items that not only look beautiful, but also have a story worth telling.

When you shop with an independent business like ours, you're supporting a chain of real people – from the makers and artisans who create these products to the small rural shop that brings them to Northumberland.

Thank you for being part of that story. 💚

🍂 If you love homes filled with character and stories, explore our collection of kilim rugs and cushions via the link below. We'll be adding even more beautiful designs as autumn approaches.

Our website is currently down! This is most likely due to the fact that we've just closed down our sister website - Wild Flower Trading which is linked to our shopify admin dashboard. Hopefully all should be resolved soon, bear with us!

The Wild Flower Website has now officially CLOSED! Thank you to every one of you for following along on this incredible journey of trade, travel, creativity and adventure. Whether I met you at a festival, a market, in Newcastle, Northumberland or beyond - thank you for your love and support over the years. It's time for me to move on, give full creative energy to my other businesses. It's been the hardest thing to let go of Wild Flower but all goood things must come to an end 💔

Head to Olive & Myrtle - a continuation of Wild Flower (so not completely the end!!!!!) but in a different form - I'm still trading on my stall but runnng a bricks and mortar gift shop nowadays! Also running the website where you'll find all of Wild Flower Trading's offerings and more!
