So this happened a few days ago, hence why I've not been making anything new to show you. I've been enjoying celebrating with my different friendship groups, and still have some more get togethers to come. However, I've been ordering lots of stock to create more lovely new products for you soon.... And I'm now in the decade where I'll be able to retire from the weekday job, which means more time for crafting and creating, though that's a fair few years away yet, but I can dream. X 🩷🎂🦊

Up and out early this morning to do a little restock at The Maple Cafe.. I took the scenic route, which was just lovely in the sunshine. This is just a small part of what's on the doorstep of this amazing cafe... a place where you are guaranteed gorgeous food, drinks and the friendliest of staff... Oh and of course my earrings 😆. X

After caring for my mum, I popped over to do a restock at this fabulous shop. I've taken a few Father's Day cards and some of the new earrings I've made. So lovely to see Alison and Becs there. It was very busy in the shop, with people making the most of this glorious weather. And right outside the shop were these beautiful babies, which were being fed with duck/swan food that you can buy in the shop....adorable. x ❤️🐥🦢🦆

If you've any books, especially childrens books... please consider dropping them off at The Secret Stanley Ferry Shop. Or drop them off with me and I'll happily take them there for you. X 📚

If anyone is having a Spring/Summer book clear out, please feel free to come and stock up our community little library. We have lots of books for adults but we’re running low on children’s books. Put them straight in, or leave them with us at The Secret Shop. Sharing is caring 📚

I just can't help it 😆😆😆...
I'm still sourcing pieces to create jewellery for the festive season. As all crafters know, you have to start early as it's such a busy time. Though I'll no doubt be rushing around at the last minute, as usual 🥴.
Another event just booked, so I think that's 9 so far in November.... x 😲❤️🦊

Another gorgeous sunny day.. I popped over to Forever After Gift & Craft Shop early this morning to do a restock as a fair bit had sold. So there's new cards, including some for Father's Day... over 20 new pairs of earrings and some new bracelets. If you've not been, there's two floors of shelves filled with amazing gift ideas and treats, made by local crafters. Whilst I was in the area I had a look in a sewing shop a few doors down. I knew she sold wool, which I'm finding harder to source now as places keep closing down. Wow there was so much. My mum had given me some strands that she needed me to colour match for her charity knitting projects. Well, job done, 8 balls of wool purchased and I now have a happy mamma 😆🧶. I spotted some things that I might be able to make into jewellery too...x

What a gorgeous day it's been 🌞😎. Thankyou so much to The Maple Cafe for letting me have my pop up shop today, I'm very grateful. And thankyou to everyone that purchased from me or stopped by to say how lovely the things are that I make. It just makes me smile 😁❤️.
It was manic in the cafe, especially early on. So I helped out during the day clearing and cleaning down tables. They are kind to me, so it's nice to pay that back. Whilst I was there I restocked my display that's on the counter. I'll be popping back to book in again. It's such a fabulous cafe, great food and drinks and the smiliest of staff. I love talking to some of the residents too.....x ❤️
