I've become a huge fan of Etsy; it's a fabulous website if you are looking for handcrafted and handmade items,vintage goods or craft suplies. It is the most fantastic place for finding unusual gifts for others or yourself- escaping the mass produced and supporting individual crafters and designers. There are sellers from all over the world and lots of british sellers - to find them add 'british' to your search when looking for items.
Some of my favourite finds;

Starting out!
It has taken me some time to get this far, I have talked for months about setting up a blog and have now done it,eventually. Hoorah!!
I hope to let you know what's happening at The Crafty Little Cottage, the fairs & events we have planned, maybe some sewing tips & makes, and perhaps a bit about costal life here in north west Wales.
Things are quite busy at the moment as we're preparing for the summer. We have lots of craft fairs and events planned & we like to know we have plenty of stock so the sewing machine has been working overtime. This is our second summer taking the stall (The Crafty Little Cottage) 'on tour'. It was a little daunting at first but after a few fairs you begin to feel like an old hand and setting up becomes second nature. The fairs are a great opportunity for meeting folk, both customers and other makers & crafters which is really good.
So here's hoping for a good summer and that the weather is kind to us ( & that the wellies don't make too many appearances).
I'll keep you posted on the events we're going to.
We're due at Woodfest Wales (http://www.woodfestwales.co.uk/ ) over the next bank holiday weekend (28-30th May) and will be in the craft marquee.
