I’m so excited to bring you some beautiful products from other lovely makers here in Northern Ireland and across the water in England. I thought I’d do a separate journal post to show you what I’ll have available. So, make way for the Winter Extravaganza!

First up, we have Attic Bindery’s Handbound Books. The Attic Bindery is a new business on the North Coast of Northern Ireland specialising in handbound books and paper conservation.

Here’s some info about the books:

The journals are made from sustainable cork fabric and 100% recycled paper, of which 50% comes from recycled coffee cup waste! The paper is 170gsm cartridge paper and is suitable for all soft media and even light watercolour washes. The tie is faux suede cord and they're bound with linen thread.

Note: the only thing that makes these journals not vegan is that the thread is waxed with beeswax, which aids in the durability of the binding.

The books will be available in three colours- Aqua, Mint and Natural.

Next up, I’ll have some Alex Collins Designs products- her beautiful medium sized project sack and also her DPN cosies.

I’ll also have some beautiful handmade ceramics by local potter Laura Boyd Ceramics- Laura’s work is often inspired by the sea and the Northern Irish landscape.

Next up, Made for Yew candles in five scents:

Winter Wonderland 180ml
Lemon, Lime & Lavender 180ml
Orange & Lavender 180ml
Orange & Ylang Ylang 180ml
Pine and Cinnamon 180ml & 120ml

Here’s some info about the candles:

Natural Soy Wax Candle, scented with 100% Pure Essential Oils.

- Soy wax with coconut oil
- 100% pure essential oils
- Cotton wick (no wick stickers or glue used, therefore even less waste)

Candles come in reusable amber glass jar with aluminium lid.

Next is Abron’ah Soap/ Shampoo Bars. These are available in four scents:

Lastly we have the beautiful Buchlyvie Pottery Progress Keepers. I’ll be selling these individually this time, so you can have all one colour or a mix if you prefer!

So that’s it for the maker’s market products, I’ll be posting about the yarn next, to include two new bases the Hearth Sock and the Blue Texel Limited Edition.
