Come In We're Open

We are glad to announce that we are officially open, come in and have a look around our brand new online shop. Over the coming weeks we will be updating the shop with some tweeks here and there. We have more handmade lovelies and a handpicked selection of vintage finds to add to the shop in the coming months. We hope you enjoy our new shop & would love to hear what you think. Thanks for stopping by. Leahx

The art of gift giving

I had finished making up my last orders that needed to be posted for their Christmas day deadline. I then had two days to create my handmade presents for this year. I really enjoy this part of Christmas, spending time creating my handmade gifts for loved ones. Not as many as I would wish I could make but hopefully I will allow myself more time next year. As Christmas day has obviously now passed I can share my handmade gifts with you without spoiling any suprises. It can be hard to give them away and always hope that I find the time to make a few special things for myself, but this never quite happens. It may be one of my new years resolutions.

This was for my lovely friend Kimberley, who had hankered after a real cat. This handmade one didn't need much looking after and also no feeding was required. The cat had a felt flower and tiny bell just incase she got lost. No name as yet but will keep you posted.

The felt birds were for my nephews down in London, a little hand made extra to hang on the tree and filled with money to buy a special gift with.

Each had a dainty little label stamped with the boys initials.

This was a pyjama case for a little girl called Teri, my good friends Sheri's daughter. I am affectionally called Auntie Leah or her fairy godmother. I made her a special dress for when she was christened. The pyjama case can be hung on a door or at the end of a bed.

OPEN HOUSE

It was a busy night on Thursday as I set up shop for our first ever Open House event. My dining room was transformed into a little Christmassy boutique complete with bunting and fairy lights. Friends, friends of friends and family popped by to say hello and enjoy a glass of mulled wine or two. It was so nice to hear such lovely comments about my work. The evening was a great success and we've already started hatching plans for a springtime open house next year. A big thank you to all that came along.

Magpie Market

We are thrilled to announce that we will be taking part in a new market next month, Magpie. Magpies’ first event will be taking place at The Lot, a beautiful converted church in the shadows of Edinburgh Castle and in the heart of the bustling Grassmarket. We will set up shop for the first time in the capital so why not come along and say hello.

Hip Hip Hooray!!!!!

Hello! Today we are very excited that after much work, planning and preparation, our blog is now live! There may be some final tweaks here and there in the next week or so but we are nearly there. We hope you enjoy it and do post comments as we’d love to hear from you. Leahx
