I hope you're having a lovely Bank Holiday weekend!

Customers often ask me if I sell post cards and/or fridge magnets. So I just wanted to share with you that I now stock these cute watercolour 'Hampshire' post cards and also the fridge magnet from the same range.

I've read lately that post cards are back in vogue and it's now, once again, very fashionable to send them (remember the days before the internet!). Fridge magnets are just as trendy...

If you're local how many of the places have you visited?

Well it's the weekend and we're back to blue skies...

So today, I'm just wanting to show you the lovely range of writing sets currently in stock from @ Rachel Ellen Designs.

These are great to put in a bag to take away for the day or on a longer break/holiday. With clear cheerful designs, children will love to write a few lines to send to their grandparents, friends or another special person. Finished off of course with a sticker!

I think it's important to still teach our children the beauty of the written word and the wholesome life experience of receiving something which is hand written.

Have a great weekend and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch. 🖊💌

Good morning and I make no apology for being happy that it's
raining!

As crafters know creativity can sometimes be a sticky business, but I, like a lot of crafters, love a glue gun. It really is a core craft tool and very satisfying to use. These models are available in store now along with the appropriate glue sticks.

Whilst talking glue I'll also share that in stock are paper craft glue sticks, 3D foam pads, double sided tape, 3D foam tape, fabric glue and fray stop.

As always please DM if you have any questions; always happy to help if I can.

Have a good rest of the week.🩷

So if you are looking for left handed scissors, I’ve got all ages covered including adult scissors.

I’m always happy to post out if you aren’t local.

Hope your week has been kind so far. ✂️

Well its finally the weekend, if you haven't got any plans this Sunday, just a reminder that it's the car meet and also the Waterside market here at Port Solent; free parking as always!

Well I hope you've enjoyed the weekend, for me it certainly seemed to go very quickly...I think it's getting to be an age thing!

So I currently have a range of Trimits bookmark and mini cross stitch kits in store; I've sewn this one as an example as I do particularly like the fox design. I haven't washed or pressed it yet and will be looking for a suitable frame for it to go in.

I've reduced a lot of the other kits I have, including the multi project packs, so if you are a stitcher pop in for a look next time you are passing.

Have a good Sunday evening and I hope that tomorrow is a gentle and kind start to the week for you.😘

If you're not a crafter please feel free to keep scrolling...

Card makers start early for the festive period if they've got a lot to make...these Anita's outline stickers are available now in store. I also stock most of the other designs of the Anita's outline sticker range.

If you aren't local, I'm always happy to post so please send me a DM and I'll get in touch.

Have a good evening!

Good evening,

Another hot day and I think almost everyone I've spoken to today is counting down to the big football match for England this evening.

On the stock front, I've had a delivery of greetings cards from a couple of suppliers so here's a few to hopefully raise a smile.

Have a good evening and fingers crossed for the right result in the football.🤞
