Maker's Story: "Although I have had my shop a couple of years Slumbermonkey Designs has really blossomed since I moved to Dorset. I have always been interested in making and creating and gradually began to experiment with ideas using my own illustrations. I love wildlife, particularly woodland creatures, and my shop reflects this love. I design quirky and whimsical jewellery and design and sell cards and prints all in my unique style.

1 week to go until our Dorset Team 'Etsy Made Local' Christmas Fair

Shop from #DorsetTeam sellers at our Dorset Team Christmas Fair!

Just 1 week to go until our Dorset Team Christmas Fair!

After the success of last year's event, the Dorset Team will be returning to Wimborne for their annual Christmas fair. The fair will bring together unique, individual crafts and gifts from all over Dorset in what promises to be a wonderful Christmas shopping opportunity.

The fair will be held in the Allendale Centre and showcases the work of the Dorset Team, a group of small business owners who sell their wares on the e-commerce website Etsy.com. The fair is officially supported by Etsy U.K and coincides with Small Business Saturday.

Crafting kits, handmade clothing and accessories, artwork and homewares are amongst the items that will be available to browse and buy – with the added bonus of being able to talk to the vendors directly. The fair is a wonderful way to support local businesses and the local economy, to have the chance to purchase handmade items directly from the maker and discover just how much creativity is in Dorset!

Etsy Seller Lynn from Nemeton says "We are fortunate to live and work in such a beautiful county and many of our members' creations are inspired by the local traditions and landscape".

Please put the date in your diary and don’t miss your chance to buy some really special Christmas gifts this year!
