I have friends who make pretty things!
I'm excited to share with you a selection of handmade loveliness by makers in my creative network. If you're looking for something special this Christmas, you can bring twice the joy by buying from a small independent maker. It is guaranteed your purchase will make them do a small happy dance!

Ellie's Farm Shop | Handmade natural soap & skincare, pure beeswax candles from £2.70
I have tried and tested this lip balm and it's AMAZING! It's even better knowing it's made from all natural ingredients, and the beeswax used to make it comes from the hives in Ellie's garden. Visit her Etsy shop to see the full range of handmade soaps, lovely gifts and stocking fillers.
