Run by Rachel and Jamie from our home in the British countryside The Dorothy Days - We believe in beautiful, practical and long lasting items which are unique and a joy to own

Hello! We are Rachel and Jamie and together we run The Dorothy Days. We believe in beautiful, practical and long lasting items which are unique, a joy to own and will be treasured for many years to come. This is central to

everything we do and bring you in the shop whether it is the hat which becomes a favourite wardrobe staple or the craft supply that you will turn into something beautiful and unique item to treasure. In a world of excess and waste, we strongly believe in buying better and buying less. We live by this philosophy ourselves and with what we bring you in our shop. We love what we do and are very much lead by our creativity and what sparks our interests and brings us joy to make. We have recently moved to our dream home in Cornwall, UK to raise our two children; Iris and Vivienne. We love that running our creative business allows us the freedom to be together as a family and hope to raise our children mindfully, in harmony with nature, and with an eagerness to explore our natural surroundings. Please do pop by on social media to come and say hi and to follow what we are up to and what is coming next for the shop.

Farewell little socks!

I love making socks. These tiny ones are pretty fiddly but look how cute they are!

And now we are packaging them up ready to be sent out to a tiny little customer.

We have been busy!

August is prime time for knitting 🧶. Knitwear orders are going out regularly and we are also knitting for stock so we have enough to keep up with demand as we approach the Autumn. Here are some of our recent knits.

July photo dump. July has been a real mixed month. It’s been super busy but also pretty chilled. Now the weather has cooled a little, Jamie has been getting our running more 🏃 and has discovered some beautiful local spots. We have been doing lots of autumn prep and working on socks currently! It’s exciting to see them come together.

Summer holidays ☀️ Still very much here but at a slower pace so we can slow down and have some family time.

Socks! 🧦

You all asked for more socks so I have been busy knitting away so we have more colours and sizes.

Socks are one of my favourite things to knit 🧶 especially as it took so much trial and error to design these so I feel super proud each time we knit a pair.

As always, we only use 100% wool so they are cosy, plastic free and comfortable and they are hand knitted by us, Rachel and Jamie.

Socks are a real labour of love, they take a long time to make and then you have to make the second sock 🙈🤭!! So these will be available in super limited quantities of finished socks and we will take on a few commission socks too in choice of size and colour so we can keep up with orders.

Recently I have been really enjoying making a one of a kind collection of hiking beanies for children 🥾. It’s fun to put some unique colour combinations together and play with colours and designs.
