the South Crofty Collection Based in the old mine workshops of the iconic former Wheal Jane Mine in Truro, the South Crofty Collection is passionate about producing handcrafted jewellery, fashioned from the tin mined from beneath the surface of Cornwall.
Lewinnick Lodge team up with Oltco to create the perfect outside space
Newquay-based but with a sterling, national reputation, Oltco provides a superior service with superb resin-bound flooring that’s all about the perfect lifestyle, with clients that have included Wembley Stadium and Paul Ainsworth. Locally, the family-friendly team spend their time creating wonderful patios for homes and boutique B&Bs, hotels, self-catering cottages and apartments.
The South Crofty Collection, which embodies the team’s impeccable craftsmanship, uses 100% Cornish tin – the last reserves extracted from the worldfamous South Crofty Mine. And, while these gifts are perfectly suited to tenth anniversaries, which are typically associated with tin, you’ll find the South Crofty Collection has something for all occasions, for both him and her!
Handmade and finished with expert touches and exceptional attention to detail, all pieces come with a lifetime guarantee, so why not visit the website and check them out for yourself? For more information, call 01872 560200 or visit www.croftytin.co.uk

The team have laid a resin-bound gravel patio on the roof of the new apartments, which looks stunning and provides the ultimate space in which to unwind.

Flourishing Cornish retailer Whistlefish has produced a new, limited edition collection to celebrate its tenth appearance at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, which this year runs from 23rd to 27th May and promises to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors. The Chelsea Flower Show 2017 Collection includes tote bags, tea towels, aprons, greeting cards and notebooks featuring the work of artist Jess Trotman, which captures the beauty and romance of cottage garden favourites. Whistlefish owner, Lyn Thompson tells us: “Our limited edition collection for this year’s show is absolutely gorgeous. We’re delighted to have worked with Jess on the range – she’s such a talented floral artist. I hope the collection proves just as popular with flower enthusiasts, both online and at the show. The show is a highlight of our calendar, and I can’t think of a better way to mark our tenth appearance.”
