Who are Pumpjack & Piddlewick? Our life is about wine, animals, weird tools and anything French, all of which act as inspiration for many of the vintage, antique and artisan items you will find in our shop.
Piddlewick tells you about life in France in our blog, whilst Pumpjack is an author and makes wine. We lead a homesteading and healthy lifestyle and work surrounded by pet ducks, 3 cats, and a standard sized dachshund whilst restoring our old French house and garden. It can get delightfully busy.
If there is something you like but you think the price is a tad high, make us an offer. We like a good, friendly haggle.
Some items you may find do not ship to your country. We are happy to ship anywhere in the world, but some distances plus sizes may require an additional cost. Please enquire if there is something you particularly like.
Are you especially a fan of the French Silk Scarf (like Piddlewick), please visit our specialist shop here on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/FrenchSilkScarf

Finding what there is to Find in France
We're Pumpjack & Piddlewick, a creative redhead and an eccentric Oenologist Negociant (fancy terms for wine maker). We are pursuing our dream of making our own wine in France. We lead a homesteading, waste-not-want-not lifestyle in conjunction with ducks, cats and a standard sized Dachshund. It can get wondrously busy.
We love and live all things vintage, from an amazing corkscrew to a quirky French cheese platter. We particularly appreciate the time and effort that went in to a beautifully hand embroidered linen to the craftsmanship of well made wooden furniture.
Alongside our wine making, and with true entrepreneurial spirit, we also put our creative juices (or should that be creative wine?) to the fore in finding fabulous antiques, vintage & retro gifts and the odd funny item we sell here on Etsy. (Ok, and a few we keep.)
If you would like to follow our story, our Blog has our discoveries and musings on life here in France, along with tails of our zany collection of animals who make us smile each and every day. www.pumpjackpiddlewick.com
Oh, et mais Oui, feel free to buy something from our Etsy shops. Honest, we won't mind.

Alycea Horth
Owner, Creator
I'm Piddlewick to our Pumpjack, a creative redhead with a smile. Our French finds and handmade items showcase my passions for the traditional, old-fashioned, but hopefully with a flair of a certain joie de vivre.

Eccentric Muse
This is Pumpjack to our Piddlewick, an eccentric, mad scientist on an Einstein scale, an Oenologist, otherwise known as a wine maker. His creative juices know no bounds, and are inspirational. Oh, and he's a dab hand at making things as well.

Shipping Times
Once we post your item, it will generally take:
2 – 3 business days within France
5 – 7 business days within the EU
7 – 10 business days to the rest of the world
These times may of course vary, as they are dependent on the Postal Peoples and the various situations around the world.
All our items are sent tracked, so you can monitor its progress.
Shipping Upgrades & Express Delivery
If your item is small enough (under 3cm / 1 inch), we will send it in a padded envelope. You may upgrade to have your item shipped in a box if you prefer. This may incur an additional cost. *The delivery times will be the same*
We do not offer Express or overnight delivery in general, particularly outside of France as the prices start at 99 euros for a Chronopost box and must be purchased ahead of time, negating the speed of the delivery.
Multiple items and shipping costs
If you order more than one item from us, sometimes the automatic calculation comes out too high. We always refund any shipping overcharges.
International Shipping Costs
If an item is over 3 cm / 1 inch it must go in a box. The Post Office cost to send a box is based on its weight.
At Pumpjack & Piddlewick we do not make money off of shipping. We charge only what the Post Office charges us.
Items Sent as Gifts
Marking an item purchased from us as a Gift will include a receipt without a price. You will also have the option to include a special message.
Please note: if we are sending a Gift direct to your recipient ~
Any items over 3 cm / 1 inch will be sent in a box. A box sent outside of France requires a form that must state what the item is and its value. An additional Customs form is also required for shipping outside of the EU, which also states what the item is and its purchase cost.
Item's under 3 cm / 1 inch are sent in a padded envelope and do not require a shipping or customs form.
We offer gift wrapping at an additional cost.
