Eccentric Ella

I have always wanted to create unique things for people. And only now that I have become a new mum and have eased off my workload, do I have a bit of sparetime to persue my hobby. I'm originally from South Africa and a few years ago married my British husband with whom I share our lovely home in the English countryside. We have a beautiful baby girl who sometimes plays model for my creations. I hope you find what you're looking for in my online shop. Kind regards and thank you for your interest. Eccentric is Classic and means you're NEVER out of fashion! :)

Cheshire Cat Crafts

I have always been a fan of crafting, ever since I was a child and since then the passion to craft has grown.

I create a variety of craft items, I especially enjoy making jewellery, hand painted glass, polymere clay items, hair accessories and a whole lot more. I enjoy creating items from recycled materials too, as well as giving some of my jewellery a vintage twist. These items would make great gifts, or why not treat yourself.

Handmade by zenia

My name is Zenia. I design and make Fused Glass Jewellery and Gifts.

Each piece is individually handmade in my kiln. I mainly use Dichroic and Bullseye glass which make up my fused pieces.

Fused Glass is a technique that involves layering glass which is then placed in the kiln and melted or fused together at extremely high temperatures.Also I design and make Beaded glass jewellery. I source the beads from unusual suppliers and artisans.

I work from my home studio in South Northamptonshire and as well as having my on-line shop, I also attend craft fairs and events in the area.

The Dressing Up Chest

The Dressing Up Chest makes dressing up clothes, fancy dress and dance costumes for children. You can select from those shown on

the web site or commission a costume in the character or style of your choice.

Based in West London, but serving the whole of the UK, Libby established the business when her own children no longer needed the stage and dance costumes she enjoyed making for them.

Each costume is lovingly put together using good quality fabrics

which can be washed and worn again and again. If you would like to give the child in your life an alternative to mass produced, synthetic fabric costumes then email info@dressingupchest.co.uk

Come and share the fun, find a thing you adore

Jolly little gifts all made in the British Isles
