After the shop I worked in part time closed down I was weighing my options and made the decision to be brave and open a shop all of my own making curious and quirky interior finds accessible on the high street along the more convential offerings that were out there.

I managed to secure my dream shop right next door to St Albans Cathedral [link] on Holywell Hill, right in the heart of St Albans City. It’s a grade 2 listed building which dates back to the 1800’s so is full of character, wonky floorboards and wooden beams. The trouble with old buildings is that they need to be maintained and the shop has been closed for a number of months while renovations take place. We’re planning to re-open the physica shop in February 2023 when we’ll be bursting back onto the high street with a sparkly, touched up bang!

Cositas Creative runs alongside Cositas Home, offering an extensive selection of Creative Workshops from Arm Knitting and Calligraphy to Wreath Making and Acrylic Pour.

The newest arm to the Cositas brand is Cositas GFTS (Gifts For The Soul) which we introduced to nourish YOU as well as your home. From here we have also run a collection of spiritual workshops including Full Moon Ceremonies and Mindfulness.
