FRIENDLY FRIDAY RECOMMENDATIONS ~ 11 October

Yeh!  Hello we are back after a rather long and very busy break.  I am pleased to say business has resumed again on Facebook and I now have the help of 2 lovely ladies, Kay and Angela.  I will tell you more about them another time.

I am very happy to continue with the Friendly Friday recommendations on Facebook where crafters recommend other craft businesses.   I love looking at and finding new talented crafters and craft suppliers etc, I hope you do to?

1.      Little Wooden Stool 

Recycled furniture, crafts and gifts for your home or for friends.

Little wooden Stool began as a furniture restoration project a number of years ago. Having found tatty gems in bric a brac stores, charity shops and people’s dusty garages, I set to work sanding, painting and altering pieces of furniture until they fit a special place in my home. As people started to notice my finds I wondered if I could help others find treasures for themselves. I am happy to work on a piece you already have that isn’t quite right, or tell me what you are looking for and I will do my best to find it for you! I am based in Gloucester in the South West but love to travel; so if you are nowhere near, I can deliver or get it to a place we both find helpful. I also seek out special presents for people who want something quirky. I make an array of gifts to order, and the card too if you so wish.
