_This shop, run by Dyann Fitzpatrick (or Di Fitz) as she is known to locals, is a real gem, and professional shoppers like me would be hard pressed to find one with such a wonderful array of tasteful and unique giftware and collectibles, especially small and special items easily carried home by the tourist. Dainty pewter ornaments and jewelry, stationery and "country style" gifts are a specialty.
Di carries a good selection of haberdashery, needlework and quilting supplies, and the fabric range, though limited, is excellent for such a small population, and a little cheaper than "mainland prices". Quilting books and Piecemaker calendars are imported direct from USA and are considerably cheaper. Di also stocks a wonderful range of gourmet foods and confectionery from North America.

____________________ Report with no shop names!
There was one very nice gift-cum-sewing shop with a lot of things from the US, UK etc., including lots of quilting books and cloth dolls of the "country" type but sadly (being a mad dollmaker in my "other life") I didn't find any dolls made on Norfolk .

I found some Liberty fabric in another shop, the fine kind, but not much to choose from and it was $22.50 a metre, so I left it there. On reflection I think there was some plain Liberty too but I can't remember how much that.
