Today, I took some new stock to top up this space I have in the gift shop of @northamptonshoe. It's a lovely shop with lots of locally made things in, definitely worth checking out next time you're in town.

Studio space 💙 It's only the teeny box bedroom, but it's been my creative home for the last 9 years; full of paper, leather, crafting tools and creative inspo. It's winter, so I'm wearing ALL the jumpers (ok, 3 jumpers). I'm lucky to have somewhere that's a private creative space for just me! Today I'm working on ideas to make my shop displays better.

You may have noticed I've changed the closures on some of my products (like my rescued leather pencil cases) to leather 'latches'. How do they work, though? They're pretty easy - simply slide the tab through the loop and it'll catch 😊 I love the look of these. What do you think?

Debating on whether to list more of these Coptic stitch journals with leather detail in my Etsy shop... they're great for using up leather scraps, but they do sell better offline. It's so tricky to know what to make sometimes! What do you lot reckon?

Hand sewing one of my rescued leather journals... these handmade notebooks are where I started and will always be a core part of my range. What's your favourite journal size? I'm partial to A6 myself.

OK, so online you can find me on Etsy... what about physical shops? I've got you covered in the Northamptonshire area, stocking at the fabulous @margo_and_evie at Heart of the Shires in Weedon, @margoandevietoo at The Bell Plantation near Towcester, plus the gift shop of Northampton Museum in the town centre 😀

Have you shopped in any of these places before? They're all great for a mooch and to support local shops and businesses.

(Re)introduction cont...
📖 I hand make all my items, including hand stitching all my journals and stationery cases.
📖 I love using reclaimed materials, and use leather rescued from the waste stream; from shoe factories, old furniture and samples booklets.
📖 I often incorporate map papers in my work - I love the way it looks with the rustic leather.
