Indie Friday

Today as Black Friday begins I am thinking about the small independent shops, designers and makers. This evening and this weekend I will be at three separate Christmas craft fairs. Each will have a range of creators - each talented and each taking great pride in what they make. Each item on their stall has been made by hand with time and attention. It is something special, something different - something indie.

So if you're inclined to support small businesses, search the hashtag #JACIndieFriday on Instagram and shop, share and shout about something really lovely - a camaraderie amongst makers.

Have a great weekend. I can't believe this is the last one before Advent begins. The Christmas countdown has begun!

Santa Hat Garland

Earlier in the year I shared mySanta Hat garlands which were available to order.

They're also available to buy on Etsy! Along with other decorations that have all be knitted by hand, by me. They are all perfect if you've got pets or small fingers about -  they don't break if they fall on the floor.

The standard garlands are a 10 hatted string for £10 and a five hatted string for £5 + postage and packaging. Each hat measures approximately 3.5cm x 4cm. (And there's a SALE on now)

It is just over a week to advent and I'm already looking forward to getting out all the decorations and drinking from my favourite Christmas mug.

SALE - Christmas Is Coming

I just wanted to say that I am joining the sale over on Etsy. All Christmas cards and goodies are 10% off and there are a few miscellaneous designs and birthday cards thrown into the offer too.

Have a really lovely week!

Shop Small

Search the hashtag on Instagram next Friday for something special and lovingly made. This is particularly pertinent to me ahead of a weekend full of craft fairs at which warm friendly faces put their creations on display, and offer something you can't necessarily get anywhere else. Add a little colour to Black Friday and shop, share and shout about #JACIndieFriday
