Ali B vintage

Hi I am Ali and Ali B vintage came about in the summer of 2013, when I had a total life change, moved to the coast, Felixstowe in sunny Suffolk and gave up work as a teaching assistant. We bought an old beach hut that needed some tlc so I made bunting, curtains, cushion covers, seat covers and decorations to bring it back to life. I hadn't sewn for many years and absolutely loved it, so that's where it all started again. I make quite a range of items from bunting, hanging hearts/beach huts, bag charms, chalkboards, wedding horseshoes and have also found my love of knitting too, I make baby items such as shoes and cardigans.

Bambu Candles Worcestershire

Founded in July 2018. Bambu Candles Worcestershire was created from a love of gorgeous fragrances and scented candles. I was always on the lookout for better, stronger, longer lasting and more fragrant candles. Since having my daughter I started to think about what was in the candles I was buying. I realised I could make a cleaner, more natural candle that's better for my family and for the environment but still had a gorgeous, strong scent.

After nearly a year of making and testing Bambu Candles was born. All my candles are hand poured in small batches in my kitchen in Worcestershire.

Bristol In A Box

Add a subtle sparkle to your interior with my decorative lights. I never leave the house without my camera and take pictures all the time.

Mains connected, they are the perfect gift for that friend who's got everything!

Maebelle & Bo

I always believed that kids should be kids, but when I had my own I found that they looked like mini-adults. So I taught myself to sew, seeking out the brightest, boldest organic fabrics for them. Soon I was making clothes for friends' kids and then started selling online. Maebelle & Bo exploded, allowing me to leave my job and continue creating around the kids. I am passionate about organic fabrics and now create my own fabric designs. I also love to allow the customer to be part of the creation by selecting colours and finishes. Bold is best!

Maia And The Wildflower

I'm Jane, I started my business 2 and a half years ago. My daughter Maia would pick flowers for me each day on our way to nursery, and I wanted to keep them forever. So I set out to learn all I could about preserving flowers in resin, and the whole thing has grown from there. I make jewellery using real flowers and resin, but my favourite things to make are the wall pieces. I try to create little worlds inside, like you're peeking into a garden or woodland. I love using bright colours in my pieces, and quite often make my own clay mushrooms to include inside too.

My shop runs a little differently than normal. Throughout each month my online Etsy shop is closed, which gives me time to work on new items. At the end of the month I hold a 'Shop Day' where I then open up my shop and all the items I've made are then available to purchase. I find doing it this way a lot more manageable, and it also creates a bit of a buzz on the day, and most things sell out instantly. It's always an exciting day for me, and I have the most wonderful customers.

My next shop day is on the 30th November, and it's the last chance to buy before Christmas.

And when I wasn't crafting mini moss trees, I was either painting or decorating lamps. I have a little obsession with crafting lamps, (you can find more intricately decorated lamps on my Etsy shop!)

The Tutu Crew

As with most little girls, my daughter loved to dress up so one day we decided to have some fun creating fun and funky tutus.

She wore them every day and absolutely loved mixing and matching them with her outfits? And I loved making them!

So with the help and support of my good friend and neighbour? The Tutu Crew was born!!!!

Every piece is handmade in Scotland by ourselves and CE approved, meaning you can be assured of their quality and safety.
