First up is Funky Soap Shop which is perfect for the eco friendly man in your life. Featuring a fab range of handmade hair & skin products.










Next up is some lovely handmade silver items from Tim Christian Jewellery Who says that only women get to wear jewellery??















We all know that some men take pride in their appearance just as much as the ladies do so check out BelaFarCrafts for some fab hand knit items made in Scotland.











Staying on the hand knitted theme check out Knitology Gifts who has some awesome knitted slipper socks that are sure to keep his toes nice & warm, and there is something for his hands too.











Orgill Originals has some lovely handmade items in her Folksy store.










Finally if you have a Dad or Grandad who is a hippy at heart then one of these amazing tie-dyed t-shirts from Little House Farm would be perfect.

Support Indie Sellers - part 2

 Following on from my last post where I featured some new (to me) small creative businesses here are another selection that I would love you to check out & support if you can.

So many small sellers are really struggling at the moment. As if covid hadn't been bad enough the cost of living crisis means that many people have had to cut back on their spending of non-essential items so buying something pretty or as a treat has basically gone out of the window.

Sellers are closing their online stores and some are even closing their high street stores too so they need all the support they can get and that is the reason behind these blog posts.

So, sit back with a cuppa of your favourite brew and lets get ready to view some wonderful handmade creations.

First up in todays selection is Kath Heywood Designs  












Next up is Swallowtail Stitches with some lovely knitwear.











Some lovely items from Roses Workshop 











Next up is Bronwen Ceramics 











Another fab little shop is Blue Cat Mum Designs













Finally we have Kind Crafts 











Hope you have enjoyed this selection of small businesses. Please check them out and help spread the love around.

See you again soon.

Supporting Indie Sellers - 2022

 Last year I did a short series of blog posts featuring some fab #IndieSellers that I follow on social media.

The aim was to share them with you and hopefully help them expand their reach. Covid had really affected a lot of small businesses so I was just trying to do something to help out.

Also I love seeing what people create and figured that you might too.

Anyway, lots of small businesses are still really struggling and so I thought it was time to do another short series.

So grab yourself a cuppa & lets go shopping.


First up is Joolzery who makes some lovely jewellery. 











Next up is DebsDesigns 





Next up is TheTwirlMaker














If candles are your thing then check out AmberCandles






 ElliesTreasures is a mixed media artist who makes some lovely items.















If you like handknit items then check out KnitClaire




Well that's all from me today. I'll be back soon with some more lovely items for you to look at from more #Indiesellers.
I hope you have liked this selection.
Let me know what you think in the comments section.
