Fancy a fabulously handmade Christmas this year?
As we approach the holiday period, I thought it was a great occasion to highlight independent makers & designers whose work I admire.
I'm excited to share with you my Handmade Edit: unique or limited edition pieces handmade here in the UK.
I have selected colourful pieces that are beautiful aswell as functional, with pleasing pattern and detailing.
Give the gift of a beautifully made piece that will delight the recipient, and at the same time support an independent maker.
