Would you be able to find the 1sq foot in Torquay that makes this effect line-up?
£7 says you or a loved one can't 😉 (and/or will enjoy the process of trying).

Sometimes you've just got to speak from the heart, and sometimes you've got to accept you heart loves a good clacky thunk.

Just working on some future potentials for the next big batch coming soon 😊🥰

A real-life, 3-Dimensional jig-saw piece that works like this:

- Open your envelope to reveal your chosen Sight, and 2 Dockets.

- Examine the map to find the general area for your Sight location, and follow the clues to the rough area.

- Look for distinctive items in your Sight and your surroundings and try to line them up.

- You may need to crouch, lean, and/or hold the Sight closer or further away from your eyes to get a perfect match up.

- When in place, feel the image "Snap in" to place, and enjoy your very own souvenir with a greater understanding and appreciation for the town around you.

- Snap a pic of your Sight snapped in to post on social medias, be sure to tag as well as the location you bought your Sight from.

- Tell your friends, or buy a Sight or two as a gift for those back home so they too feel the need to Discover the Other Torquay.

While no longer available from our seasonal market stall, you'll still be able to find these beauties from select locations- information coming soon!

The perfect accompaniment for your autumnal stroll.
Whether the weather is cool, overcast, wet, or windy; the map will still guide you true, and the photo will still be gorgeous.
If anything, the contrast will make your Found picture just pop all that much more.

Going for a walk? Take this real-world jigsaw piece with you and find where it slots.
This particular Sight is seasonal-dependent, but we currently have a range of 10 year-round pieces that can brighten up your walk and home-office wall-space.
DM us to find out how.

Thankfully the showers have passed and I can once again offer my Sights to those meandering through Torquay town.
If you find yourself being one of those people, then keep and eye out for me, and come and chat a while. It's only my fourth outing and it's still a scary business!

22/09/2022

New stall set-up, learning as I go.
Nothing seems to click the idea in people's minds quite like seeing a pic of it in action, and everyone loves a tactile trial 🥰

21/09/2022

The greatest thing about these Sights are that they're endlessly re-useable. Walk a similar route at different times of day, or different weather conditions?
Line up the Sight and shoot!

If you're out on the town, or just prowling around- take me* with you!!

Whether in Torquay for the First or 3000th time, a DTOTorquay envelope can help liven up your walk, and teach you to keep an eye out for beauty hidden under your very nose.

For just £10, you can have a memory and a keepsake that will last for decades, and not a bad looking one at that.
