The Best Ever Present?

The Wilstone House and Gardens Kadai on a low stand

Here at Wilstone House and Gardens we have a huge variety of unique and ecclectic items that would enhance any home or garden. We have also just taken a HUGE delivery of the ever popular Fire Bowl or Kadai, as mentioned in a previous posting. These Kadai sold out when we exhibited at RHS Chelsea Flower Show last year. People wanted something a little heavier than the standard BBQ.

These Kadai are so practical and really unusual.

Light up a BBQ in the Kadai (and as some of the Kadai measure up to over 1m in diameter it will allow for plenty of sausages!) and once all your food is eaten, simply remove the grill and throw in some logs or coal and get the party started! As the Kadai is circular you and your friends can sit round it and be wonderfully warm for the rest of the party!

Christmas Shopping by Aeroplane!

 

A Shropshire businessman doesn’t stock up at the wholesalers for his Christmas customers, or spend hours perusing gossy catalogues from his suppliers – he hops on an aeroplane!

Christo Mckinnon, who runs Wilstone House and Gardens with his wife Kate, from their home in Shropshire run a successful and, most unusual shop and wholesale business.

Christo sources a great deal of his stock by walking through the markets and bazaars of India, and

talking to local craftspeople to ensure that the items he purchases come under the ‘Fair Trade’ principle.

Christo told us ‘this is the most exciting part of being a business owner, to walk through the colourful markets and bazaars of India buying wonderful fairly traded goods from people and then transporting it back where it is unpacked and sold in the shop in Shropshire.’

Christo continued ‘my aim is to offer people unusual, decorative, colourful, quality items and sometimes to raise eyebrows!’ A few of the more unusual items in the shop includesa pair of camel saddles, a ships wheel and a Dragon Shrine! Christo said ‘when travelling the world for items to sell, it isn’t difficult to find strange things.’

 

If you want to see more of the unusual items Christo brings back from India, you can either peruse the Wilstone.com website or visit the shop. Please see wilstone.com for further details.
