Hello Beautiful Beaders,
I hope you’ve all had a lovely month and managed to get outside and enjoy the fleeting heatwave that we had.
It’s been great to see a few more of you venturing out of your homes since my last blog. I hope that my reassurances of our store safety practises played some small part in that new confidence.
This month, to further encourage community confidence and support for our area, I thought I would give you a run down of my favourite local stores and a taste of the essential products they provide:-
1. Market Deeping Antiques and Craft Centre – Market Deeping
Most of you will know that this amazing treasure trove of a store used to be the original Riverside HQ. We’ve still got a small outlet unit in there so it’s worth a rummage to see what bargains you can find.
Aside from us there’s a myriad of products from Antiques and collectibles to home decoration, knitting supplies and models.
They are operating a one way system and a the store is very large there is lots of safe space for customers to have a stress free browse.
Excellent destination for gifts and home and lighting decor if you want to avoid the busy city stores.
They do not have a website but you can find them on Facebook.

2. Branch Brothers Hardware Store – Deeping Saint James
Branch Bros is literally down the road from Riverside Beads and Crafts. They are a small franchise of hardware stores selling anything from roofing felt, paint and wood to small machinery and practicality every kind of sealant you can imagine!
They are offering counter/door service for smaller collection orders only. It is best to call and place your order over the phone and then arrange a collection time. Alternatively they are also delivering goods. General visiting is partially accessible for viewing items, with social distancing in place and a limited number of people allowed in store at any one time.
Larger yard/timber collections should be pre-ordered in advance, by telephone to each Branch.
Thing to remember; they are not currently accepting cash. Card payments only.

3. The Deeping Bed Shop – Market Deeping
Having spent a lot more time at home these past few months I think we all appreciate the comfort of a good bed! These guys have been in business for more than 30 years and they really know their stuff.
Buying a bed or mattress isn’t really something you can do well over the internet so it is nice to know there is a local, safe place to shop. They offer free delivery within 25 miles of Market Deeping and they will take away your old bed/mattress too.
They’ve got a huge amount of stock to choose from and most items can be delivered the very same day you purchase. None of that waiting two weeks malarkey!

4. Godsey Lane Cafe – Market Deeping
Our beautiful neighbours are offering 50% off if you sit in the Cafe any Monday to Wednesday in August.
They make amazing sweet treats, bakes and savouries including paninis, scones and CAKE! Their coffee is some of the best in town and you can order online to take away.
They are set up for social distancing inside and have also recently created some seating outside for those who prefer to be in the fresh air.
