Home Sweet Home - Pass Courtyard

If you have visited Home Sweet Home on Pass Courtyard, you will know that behind the door there are two

floors filled with an eclectic mix of unusual items; all accompanied by a warm welcome from Jill and loyal shop

assistant Paddy the dog.

The shop stocks a huge array of items, with everything from baby clothes to handmade cards, vintage handbags as well as a lovely selection of jewellery and gift items. They also stock a selection of handmade items made right here in Ashby, such as beautiful Yogi scented homeware and gorgeous locally made pens. Their baby boxes make a great gift for anyone expecting or who has just welcomed a new arrival.

Jill says her best selling items are her homeware items, which are popular with old and young people alike; in fact

the number of younger people who visit the shop has been a pleasant surprise to Jill since she opened 10 months ago.

The people are the best part of running her business, according to Jill. She says she is supposed to be retired,

but she much prefers running her business and catching up with her lovely regulars, who come in for a coffee and

to catch up.
