Craft & Gift Fair

Phew… I was glad to be back at home after a long day at the Craft & Gift Fair at the Benn Hall in Rugby yesterday. It was a great day! It had been a few months since my last fair so it was good to get back into it again. I planned to arrive […]

NEW Christmas shop…

The Christmas section on my website was finally launched last week… Add a handmade festive touch to your home this Christmas! Choose from snowflakes, Christmas puddings, stars, ceramic trees, festive plaques and other hanging decorations. I found this mini artificial Christmas tree to try out hanging some of my decorations.

The image above was sent to me by a lovely customer from Tickled Pink Crafts – (check out their website for unique handmade jewellery, cards and accessories). I love the colour of this beautiful […]

Sloes & The Countryside
