5 More Small Businesses to support this Christmas.

A new list for you this week and I genuinely hope you get some ideas for them. Let’s delve in to these 5 businesses.

1. Red Kite and Doe

Tracy is the genius behind Red Kite and Doe and she makes the most amazing items from hot water bottles with custom covers to full sized quilts. Last Christmas I saw that she was selling hot water bottles with a foundation pieced elephant on it, so I just had to order one for Xander. She had it done in plenty of time for Christmas and her attention to detail is just want you need for any gift. Tracy can be found currently on Instagram and Facebook but towards the end of November make sure you check out her brand new website.

2. Oonalfie

Oonalfie is actually a double shout out from Red Kite and Doe in that she is one of the Oonalfie artisans. Oonalfie is a brand that makes Luxury items for the dog in your life. If you are anything like my family then dogs and cats all have their own stockings and gifts from santa under the christmas tree. If that is the case then you should head over to Oonalfie and treat them to a new lead, collar, bedding, settle mats and much more, all designed and made in the UK.

3. Stonecott Fine Writing Supplies

Yes, I know, I am letting my stationery addiction shine in these blog posts but the thing is that I am not ashamed to say that one order from Stonecott’s turned me into an ever returning customer. To find out why you will just need to place your first order. The perfect place to find beautiful fountain pens and a whole lot of ink to go with them (most notable the very lovely UK based Diamine Inks).

4. Olive and Flo Handcraft

You already know just how much I love Saira at Olive and Flo Handcrafts because I mention them in pretty much every post that involves fabrics. Saira can never do to much for her customers and will take every suggestion on board when considering new lines and products. If the quilter or sewer in your life is looking for fabric bundles, fabric subscriptions to build their stash or kits to the latest sew a long, then make sure you check out her website. I am currently looking forward to the new Elizabeth Hartman Dinosaurs Block of the Month, to start at the end of the year.

5. Papermaze

Papermaze is my go to store for all my scrapbook paper and stencil needs. They cater to the scrapbookers, mixed media artists, journallers and so much more. Whether it be a distress ink for their stocking or a new Project Life planner to begin their 2021 (because we might be able to make more plans by then), or you just need supplies to make all your christmas cards this year. Papermaze has so much to offer and tempt you with so you cannot go wrong with giving them a visit. The image below is of their September Monthly Kit.

I still have plenty to share so make sure you keep a lookout for more posts coming soon.

See you on Thursday
