Is now 5 years old and a HUGE reason why we do what we do.

When he was small, he was a dribble monster. He is now a pre-schooler who plays rough, so he has definitely been the ideal tester and model to put the products through their paces.

If you visited in the early days you probably met him instore / your children shared the playroom in the back of the store with him.

The brands we've chosen are all inspired by Ollie because we want to offer high quality items guaranteed to be enjoyed for years to come.

He loves to play outside, thrift shopping, craft construction toys and 'test the toys in mummy's shop' he's also been learning how to swap old toys & books for new ones.

I wear many hats! But, by far my favourite is being a mum to a cheeky little munchkin we call Nugget (first craving).

I've lived in east Devon for 7 years, 4 of those in the beautiful Ottery St Mary.

When I'm not working I enjoy thrift shopping, photography, Crafting, walking, exploring new places and spending time by the sea scouring for fossils or sea glass.

Before I became a mum I worked in logistics for 10 years (including managing in two third party logistics companies) and more recently a Service Delivery supervisor for a waste management company. I also have a degree with honours in Business Human Resource management

Hello! I’m Heather and I’ll be in store two days a week.

I moved to Ottery St Mary (actually just down the road from The Eco Boutique) in 2024, although I’ve always been local to the area either through work or dance (my second love after my daughter, Daphne).

Before I became a mum I was working in childcare, though my experience ranges from customer service and retail through to teaching and entertainment. 

When I’m not in the shop, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, dancing, and embracing all that East Devon has to offer. 

I’m looking forward to meeting more lovely customers in my favourite shop!
