Welcome to Cottontails ~ A toy shop in the garden
Inspired by a love of rabbits and vintage children's books, I founded Cottontails in 2003 - a tiny toy shop offering only the most charming nursery toys and gifts.
Beautiful French soft toys, handmade wooden animals, lovely gift sets ~ every parcel wrapped by hand in my Herefordshire garden workshop.
Support a truly independent and trustworthy little toy shop (and help to keep Ralph the shop rabbit in carrot tops!)
