What caught my eye from UK small business this week? Find out below on my support blog.

I always love seeing what the fabulous small business and independent makers and crafters have to offer, there is always a massive range and lots of things you won't find in the shops too. So what caught my eye from trawling the hashtags #MHHSBD #MJNWVIP #ShopSmall and #ShopIndie on twitter this week? This beautiful card is from @artbythree on Twitter https://twitter.com/artbythree. The theme is animals in love. They are triplets from Shrewsbury who all love painting, and the

Spotted Today. Argyll Sea Glass necklace and earring sets and a bracelet.

On my twitter trawl I came across these beautiful wire wrapped Sea Glass creations handmade by Marie. What is Sea Glass? It is usually Glass bottles that have been broken up and worn down by the movement of the Sea. They are otherwise known as mermaid tears. I prefer the second explanation personally. These frosted olive coloured mermaid tears have been beautifully wrapped to match the shape of the Sea Glass pieces. They make a lovely matching set of necklace and earrings. An

Dippyfish cards. Funny, sweary, naught but niche Greetings Cards (⚠️ language warning ⚠️)

Don't bother with the big card shops. Get unique, slightly sweary, funny cards from Dippyfish. They are all made from hand drawn pictures by Amelia who runs this fun card shop on Etsy. She really has a talent for art, and she has a slightly naughty side too, which shows through her cards and artworks. Below are a few of the items that caught my eye. Some because they are a bit sweary, some because I relate. I love this card because it can be given in any situation. Maybe some

BagsOfUses is a sole maker of bags where a percentage of sales go to a charity she volunteers at.

Volunteering work at a charity is a lovely thing to do. Making bags in your spare time and giving part of the proceeds to the same charity is taking it to the next level. That is exactly what they do at BagsOfUses. I saw this cosmetics bag while having a look round their etsy site. I love the colour of the fabric and the construction style of this. It's always handy to have an extra zip pocket on these. The rear of the bag shows how lovely this premium cotton fabric is and ho
