Buy Handmade This Christmas

Here's a thought! Why not buy handmade this Christmas? A friend declared on Twitter this week that she will only buy handmade gifts this year. I thought it was a really great idea and fully support her choice. I think this Christmas I will buy as many handmade gifts as I possibly can. I have already bought gifts for people but, I have decided to buy a little handmade extra for friends and family. I though I would share some of my favourite shops to hopefully inspire you to buy handmade this Christmas.

Doll Doll Dolly

DDD is my own personal accessories label. I make facinators, Headbands, Hair clips, Bags, Brooches and recently been working on 'home' textile projects I am inspired by vintage fashion, old movies and the rockabilly style that has recently come back into fashion. I hand sew all my corsages and use a variety of different fabrics. My aim to provide beautiful hand made accessories at affordable prices. My shop is a little bare at the minute but, I will be adding new items shortly. Feel free to contact me through Etsy or here on my blog if you have any questions or requests.

Mini Patisserie 

Mini Patisserie is a beautiful little shop on Etsy. I love the little miniature cake necklaces and jammy dodger rings. These pieces would make a great presents in any girls stocking this Christmas.
