£4.95

Ring of West Bay Fish - DG55352N

23 cms from top of the ring to the bottom of the fish – it’s a little bit different and the wooden fish have been beautifully designed. West Bay fish in limited numbers so likely to only be with us this season.

Timmy the Turtle – Wooden Effect - DG11393

Not many turtles in our collection this year but this smaller wooden effect item has been popular through the last few years. 15 cms in length, 17 cms wide and approx 4 cms in height. Well, most of these are likely to end up in our customers bathrooms so the pine coloured wooden effect should be more sensible than real wood (doesn’t float).

£8.95

The One and Only Fossil Box - DGBFPK10

We are more seashells than fossils but these lovely boxes are imported in to Dorset and remains of ancient life! The Jurassic coast close to us holds interesting history, a few years ago some workmen in a Dorset quarry discovered 140 millions old footprints from roaming herds of auropods, the largest of dinosaurs. We can see the hills where the footprints were discovered from the door of our shop. So there’s the connection! Its a fossil box measuring 8 cms by 5 cms x 3 cms with about 15 fossils which are millions of years old. Measuring on average 2 cms you should be able to find shark teeth, trilobite, nautiloid, crinoid, brachiopod and ammonites. What a collection!

Poole Wooden Beach Hut Storage Box - DG8845Q

Our best sellers over the years, We are in our third decade of trading from our “real” shop on Poole Quay and wouldn’t even like to try and guess how many of these we have sold off the Beach Hut shelf. Usually, these come as money boxes or storage boxes but in reality, these are being bought just for nautical decor. Blues are of course the most popular and probably the pale blues but these, with two blues and a fake coral decoration on the front, are good for the money. Pastel wooden beach hut with a hinged lid at the front and approximately 20 cms in height with sea decor. Width 14 cms and depth 9 cms. Over the years we have seen many designs of these but these have been good sellers, and a little useful.

£12.50

Nautical Wooden Fish Table - DG6391Q

A few varieties of these over the years. Our (small) wooden fish tables measure 42 cms in length, 32 cms in height and 31 cms in depth (bottom of the fish to the top of the fish). Nice pastel colours and probably not useful for a dinner party of 2 but something pretty for a nautical feel. Not too big for the beach hut and they can be folded away!

Drink Like a Pirate Wooden Sign - DG7568Q

Plenty of people drinking like pirates along Poole Quay where our shop is situated – it’s me sometimes, when we have a good day. Then there is Harry Paye Day when thousands of locals/tourists dress up as pirates and… drink like pirates. A mermaid day could be a popular alternatives in the 2020s...

£13.95

Wooden Ship Wheel in Blues - DG8837Q

Not so easy to source this season but this wheel in blues has been trialled in the shop and sells very well. Our shop is only about 400 square feet and on the middle of Poole Quay (square footage is expensive!) so pop in and see us if you are in the area. We don’t hold everything in the shop as we have to cater for tourists so lots of products in the shop are the “bread and butter” of our business – if there is anything particular you would like to see please e mail us and we can bring items down.
