As you know, I love to craft and have an on line shop on Folksy. Well like most people know, all our little craft shops are suffering and are closing down because people just aren’t buying, but you can find some fantastic, and unusual things if you look around and every one is made with love and not mass produced, so this is my shout out to just a few of them.
Violets and Lace Crafts, on Folksy (that’s me). I always say pop in and you never know what you will find.

Red Candy. Now this is great for quirky gifts. Not to everyone’s taste including mine, but then not everyone is the same.
On Etsy you can find a wooden sign. I’m not a craft Hoarder. I’m the Curator of an Extensive of an Extensive Private Craft Supply Collection By My Little Gift Shop. (I must get my Husband to by me that one).
On Folksy take a look at Wild Rose Designs for hand made evening bags.
Happy Chocolate Days on Folksy make the most amazing Cappuccino Chocolates we’ve ever tasted. I can vouch for that because I bought some for my son for Christmas.
So this is just a few for now and I will put others up. All I’m saying for now is that just because we are on Etsy and Folksy please don’t think we are all earning a million pounds. We aren’t. We’re struggling like everyone else. So if your’e looking for a gift for someone. Drop in and say Hello and some of us will even make bespoke gifts for you.
And those Cappuccino Chocolates. Just remember if you do buy them, they definitely won’t be hanging around for very long.
