I'm Elaine from Amazing Grace Pearls and Lace, one of the co owners of Unique & Beautiful. I have always loved anything to do with crafting from sewing to my favourite working in paper craft. I love to design and get a buzz coming up with new ideas especially turning something like a box in to a precious memory box. When I worked as a carer is when the business started we used to craft together, and it's a pleasure to do one off special orders creating something bespoke. For wedding stationary and special occasion cards please ask and I will create something just for you...

Hi I'm Sue from Just For You Cardcraft. Co-owner of Unique & Beautiful. I have always loved crafts, crochet, knitting, sewing etc. and was introduced to paper crafting by Elaine some years ago now and just love making special cards, memory boxes and other items. I love learning new craft skills and I am hooked on designing cards using my die cutting machine since acquiring it for my birthday last year. Papercraft is so versatile and rewarding.
Unique & Beautiful have over 35 local artists and craftspeople displaying and selling their items in our shop. Here you can meet them and learn a little about them. They really are amazing talented people.

I am Debby Pownall and I have been sewing since I was 3!!! I started my working life as a lingerie designer and over the years I went on to run craft workshops at Hobby Craft and then at John Lewis where I also worked in Haberdashery and also did sewing machine demonstrations. After leaving John Lewis, I set up my own business - Debby Bears & Crafts where I love making personalised craft items including Mohair bears, bags, covered notebooks, aprons etc.

Hello I'm Diane and this is a photo of one of my makes. I've been crafting most of my life.
At the moment I'm crocheting and doing parchment classes with Wendy Walters ( an amazing teacher). My friends persuaded me to show Sue and Elaine my crochet projects, their enthusiasm gave me the confidence to put my work in their amazing shop where I am selling in aid of PARKINSONS UK. My family are pleased as they are not being drowned in my crochet presents! I will tackle any project. So far I have raised enough to pay for a parachute jump and made over £170 in sponsorship mostly by all the orders I had to make elves! So thank you to everyone who has brought my work or supported my efforts.

Hi, I am Lisa from Oak Cottage Crafts.
From being a child I have always loved making crafty things, painting and drawing. My current pieces on display include needle felted angels and fairies, dream catchers and gem trees. You will also find a selection of my paintings and my hand painted ducks which are so unique, I love that no two pieces are ever the same and enjoy the unique character that each duck has.
I fit my art and crafts in around my busy family life, they are my biggest source of inspiration, fans and critics.
