“The company started with the belief that great design should be easy to find, and great designers should receive support for all the wonderful things they create.”

I agree, they should!  And this site does a wonderful job of it.

I am happy to now be a part of  Fey Handmade as well.  :)   Go have a look!

And be prepared to get happily lost in there for a bit.

All these lovely things are from the talented Irish folks of the Crafty Ireland Team. Clicking the photo will take you to the treasury if you’d like to show it some love. While it is still active, of course. :)
