Hi my name is Penny and I love crafting. What started as a therapeutic way to help me through some tough times has now taken over and turned into a small business. I have now opened a little quirky shop at Hope Street, Crook, County Durham and also trade at Agricultural, county shows throughout the north east. I love my products and have a passion for craft I hope you love them too

The Products

I specialize in providing handcrafted quality gifts at affordable prices, what is more they are limited to a run of no more than 30 pieces in the same design, coasters, I will only make 5 sets the same. Some items are unique one off designs.

I am proud of the products that I make they include but are not limited to fabulous stone drinks coasters and hand painted silk scarves. Prices start at just £10 for a set of 4 stone coasters. I appropriate that not everyone likes the handcrafted look so i also stock some lovely quality gift and homeware.

Not your normal store

Due to the unique nature of my products I prefer to sell them face to face where you the customer can pick up and appreciate the quality, love and time involved in creating them. I have a lovely eclectic mix of gifts and home wares displayed on my up-cycled furniture. The Furniture is painted using the fabulous Frenchic paint and I'm pleased to say Im now an Official Stockist of Frenchic® Furniture Paint. Please pop in and say hello you can find me at 18a Hope Street Crook, where you can pick up many different unique gifts and upcycled furniture or maybe pay me a visit at one of the numerous events that I attend around the North East. I also have some of my items in a small shop in Spennymoor in County Durham. Nightingales Niceties which is a shop made up of a collection of Crafters with unique gifts for all. The shop can be found at 1 Cheepside Spennymoor, Co Durham. If you are unable to visit me at one of my events then I do sell online through my etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/craftycrafter29/ I am also happy to take custom orders. If you have a special photo of a much loved pet or family member and would like to have it turned into a set of stone coasters or Slate place mats then please send me an email through the contact me page for more details. Prices for custom orders start at £12 for a set of 4 coasters plus P+P. Please see the events page to see where I will be trading next.
