Hello

Hello and welcome to Handmade Introductions.

The aim of this blog and accompanying Facebook page is to help connect shoppers with small businesses who make beautiful items.
Since I started running my Facebook page in January 2013 I have discovered so many fabulous small businesses with incredible talent, producing unique items.

I thought it would be great to have a website where all these makers could be collected together and browsed by potential customers.

I'm not sure how it will all work at the moment - I'm just going with the flow!

Thank-you for stopping by - please show your support by following the blog or liking the Facebook page (or both!). It would be greatly appreciated by all. Happy browsing!

Bellaboo

Okay, today we have a share for a very pretty page.

Bellaboo make the loveliest hair accessories for little girls.
Their page is full of fresh and sweet items - all made with love, with a little girl seal of approval.
Very reasonable prices too - would make great little stocking fillers.

These are so pretty ..... I know several little girls who would love them.

Lazydoll

Sorry for not sharing for a while, we have been rather busy of late but intend to be in touch more often in the lead up to Christmas (eeek - it'll be here before you know it!)

I stumbled across this page this evening and just fell in love with the simple yet wonderfully artistic little characters that Lazydoll brings to life on her phone cases, purses/bags cushions and other fab hand made items.

One of my favourites is this delightful Red Riding Rood iphone case, just gorgeous:

Fox's Felts

Fox's Felts make a wonderful array of mobiles and other unique felt creations for those special little people in your life.

I wish these little alien visitors had teleported into my little boys nursery! Great gift ideas for anyone that is expecting...

Sock-tacular Sock Creations

These cheeky little characters and quirky sculptures are all cleverly (and beautifully) made from socks.

I could definitely welcome a few of these little chaps into my home. From the look on their faces I would be worried they may get up to a little mischief....

Lily & Fig

This page makes the prettiest brooches and accessories from new and recycled fabrics, buttons and beads.

In a rainbow of lovely colours there are a range of sizes available and brooches can also be made to order.

A lovely oceanic colour combination - would love a dress like this......

Buttonsy Jewellery

If you like your jewellery pretty with a little bit of quirkiness then Buttonsy Jewellery is the page for you.

Flowers, birds, dandelions and a smidgen of glitter are all to be found in Buttonsy's beautiful range.
Browsing through their Etsy shop is like strolling through a meadow on a Summers day.

The thing I like so much about Buttonsy is that they are always trying something new - and it always seems like they're having fun at the same time.

This necklace is just divine ....
