We are little scarecrow’s Stuffed with hay Sitting watching in our beds all day The Feather & Black Wilmslow store has been working day and night in secrecy on their entry for the Wilmslow’s Scarecrow Festival. Now we can finally reveal their masterpiece...introducing Sid and Mabel. Sid and Mabel enjoy reading their favourite magazines in a Feather & Black bed snuggled up with their favourite teddy bear and of course sunning themselves outside the Feather & Black store. Not only did Sid and Mabel have a great time but it was a fun event for the Wilmslow store to work together with the local community. Be sure to let us know if you have seen them around Wilmslow! We feel it is important for our Feather & Black stores to be involved with and be part of the community. Each store has their own individual community spirit by participating in festivals, parades and much more. Keep visiting your local Feather & Black store to see what community activities they have going on, so that you can take part and not miss out on a Feather & Black experience in the community.

Not so deep blue - Living next door to the big deep blue is one thing but bringing this deep, dark colour into your living space can be overpowering. However, don’t be afraid to add a dash of colour into those gorgeous sandy shades - try some deep blue lamps or our collection of Lucie Navy Stripe Cushions. 3.)
