Our Handmade Christmas Fair

On Saturday the 5th of December me and Chrissie at Hat Therapy and Marcus at The Yorkshire Soap Company are having our annual Handmade Christmas Fair. There will be some nice mulled wine and lots of festive nibbles (Lidl here we come for your lovely little iced gingerbread biscuits) and a prize draw for all customers spending £5 or more on the day with great prizes from all three shops. Me and Chrissie have done this event for 4 years running now and it's been great fun each time. The Yorkshire Soap Company are joining in too this year and even though his shop is a bit too teeny and busy for offering the refreshments he is still joining in with the prize draw and the festive spirit.

All the shops are on the end of Market Street and we all make our own stock. I make my own lamps, Chrissie makes her own hats and The Yorkshire Soap Comany make their own amazing soaps. We hope you'll be able to join us.

Fairy Lights in blue

Just wanted to let you know that the Blaze On Ambient Ball fairy lights are now availablei n blue. A few people have been asking for blue ones so I got some in. There are only a few sets in now but there will be more in before Christmas. See them here.

Louise Traill Flowers

Louise Traill has sent us some of her amazing flowers today. They are made out of papers and vintage fabrics and embellished with beads, feathers and sequins. They have a rigid stem bound with fabric. Each one is uinque and they look great on their own or in a bunch. I have listed a few on the website here.

Christmas Bird Decorations

Today we had a very exciting package from Joanna Coupland full of bird decorations. You may remember Jo's bird fairy lights? Well we thought it would be nice to offer them seperatley to use as Christmas decoarations...well actually any time of the year decorations, but as it's that time of year I thought I'd put them on the tree. They don't light up on their own as such (we're working on that) but if you make a little hole in them they can sit over an existing fairy light on your Christmas tree which would illuminate them nicely. Look out for them to the website later on....
