We saw, we sand, we design, we paint ...

We were both finding it difficult to find that something special for our children and their friends and we soon realised there was a market for personalised, handmade gifts.  At first, we catered mainly for children but we’ve been asked to make things for all ages and many different occasions.  One of the items we’re particularly proud of is our Union Jack Countdown Chart– perfect for children counting the days until “Daddy comes Home”.  There’s a lot of sentiment in those charts and all that they stand for and we're in the process of agreeing a percentage of those sales to "Help for Heroes".  Then there are the party favours – painting keyrings for 30 little girls was fun, each one just that bit different from the last.  And, we’re currently designing and making a hanging “mood” plaque for a husband to give his wife on their anniversary!  More of that in the next few days, hopefully…
