Tiffany Louise…

“Hello, and welcome to Tiffany Louise, the trading name I use to sell the colourful jewellery I make from polymer clay on my kitchen table near Brentwood. The coronavirus lockdowns led to a wave of creativity in my house; much of my time is spent playing the flute in orchestras, and when all rehearsals and concerts stopped I needed something creative to replace it. I had always done art (my mum is a sculptor and painter) but given the space in my life it needed, it ballooned. I do all sorts of things, from painting, drawing and collage to decorating boxes and candlesticks, but the jewellery really hooked me and interested people, and I started selling pieces to my friends. I also loved being able to make for myself the kinds of things I never came across in the shops. As my stock grew and grew I started selling to the public too, and in the past few months have been seeking new audiences. I am addicted to colour, and have necklaces, bracelets and earrings to go with every possible outfit. Whether you want something vibrant and dramatic to lift a plain black polo neck, or something to match a skirt, scarf, pair of shoes or handbag, I can almost guarantee I will have something unique to help!”

The necklaces are £7 – £15, the earrings £3 – £8.

Nay Nay Makes…

“NayNayMakes is a small, independent business, selling bespoke handmade children’s clothing. I am Naomi, the maker behind NayNayMakes and mummy to Joseph, the inspiration behind my business. I am known as Nay Nay to my nieces and nephews – hence the name! When I launched the business, the aim was to provide unique and sustainable clothing which my customers would love as much as I do. My items are made to order from my home on the Essex/Suffolk border in a range of fabric and style choices. I stock a variety of child friendly prints, in soft and stretchy Cotton Jersey or French Terry. I have even started designing some of my own prints!
My products are available in sizes from newborn to 3 years and range from rompers, to leggings, to jumpers (and lots in-between) as well as a selection of matching accessories. Being made to order, means alterations and adjustments can be made for different shapes and sizes or medical needs, as well as fulfilling special requests for birthdays or matching sibling sets.”

Rosie Durgan…

“I’m an environmental science undergraduate student who is passionate about spreading positive environmental change. I enjoy painting and photography as a creative outlet. My work is inspired by a love of nature, colour and pattern. I studied art at A-level, which is where I developed my painting style. I like to incorporate texture into my work by building up layers. I love to paint (and photograph) anything nature related: flowers, gardens and landscapes. I sell greeting cards with designs from my photograph and paintings, in addition to a range of original canvases. This includes my unique mini canvas range, which are made from tissues used to blot my paintbrush.”

Greeting cards are £2.99, mini canvases (5×5″) are £9.99, and the canvases (16×12″) are £95. I’m also going to paint a few larger canvases.

The Card Girl…

“Hi I’m Lucy AKA The Card Girl, I’m a full-time student, but have found my vice in the form of crafts, and I was once told turn something you love into a career and you’ll love it forever! I have always had a passion for crafts and love being hands-on, I have recently decided to pursue and have now launched my own small business. I take great passion in my work and love to think I can bring a bit of joy to someone’s day.
