The idea for the shop was born from the start of Kate's business Butterfly Art in January 2013. Her husband Olly was made redundant and so Kate took her love of making and turned it into a business selling her Butterfly Heart canvases and cards online and at fairs all over the county. From there, her passion for handmade, combined with her frustraion from the the lack of support for it in High Street shops, drove her to make the decision to open a gift shop that could offer more than just space. The Sellers in the shop have access to a variety of business support and will help them to develop and grow their own businesses from home, which also helps to support their families.
The shop will stock a variety of beautifully handmade quality gifts and homewares. It will also offer a regular workshop timetable with 'learn to' classes on a variety of things from needle craft to decoupage for all ages, as well as craft parties for birthdays or even Hen parties with a twist.
The shop has easy access for prams (a must for Crafty Mums), offers a gold star private breastfeeding/baby changing room and play area for toddlers so Mums can shop with ease.
