If you've been in the shop you've probably noticed the orange bowl on the counter. This is where we take donations for gift wrapping & where the 5p carrier bag charge goes. We're HUGELY grateful for every penny that goes into the bowl as the money all goes to the @ppwhospice... 1/2

I managed to get back to my bench this week 👩‍🏭. It felt good to be creative as I hadn't been for a month - shop renovations have taken lots of time & energy. I didn't have much time at the bench but managed to make a little sterling silver Monstera leaf pendant & 2 pairs of hammered stud earrings..
