Blanchards is a family-run business, trading for over 70 years from the same location in Mill Street. Our range covers cleaning (including specialised products not widely available elsewhere), cookware, gardening, DIY, tools, paint, electrical, bathroom accessories, giftware and lots more!
I am a sole trading business which was established in 2002 in Butchers Row Bideford. We moved to Grenville Street in 2014. We now sell Model Railway items from track to trainsets & everything in between. We also sell Slotcar (mainly Scalextric) racing items from sets to individual bits of track.
Our site is set on our nursery in beautiful North Devon. We are in a very sheltered spot but less than a mile from the sea. We are close to the twin estuary of the Taw and Torridge rivers.
Our handmade belts are crafted using traditional tools & methods in North Devon. The belts are made from full-grain Italian tanned English and Italian bull hides.
Offering a wide range of handmade items, using poker work, macramé and decoupage, as well as the more familiar sewing, knitting and crochet, The Crafty Old Lady has something for everyone.
