Westerlands’ Christmas Fair 2023

Based locally, Ashleigh sells beautifully designed bags and pencil cases - all made in South Africa as well as pretty polymer clay and beaded earrings and Christmas beaded baubles.

Lovely warm cashmere scarves, yak shawls and wool blankets, colourful woven bags and purses with leather accents and custom made tie die clothing - all hand made in Nepal. Sophie has created a boutique brand with a difference. For every product sold, a percentage goes to @agapesophiaprojects to help communities in Nepal, following the 2015 earthquake.

Handcrafted pictures, sculptures and miniatures made from driftwood and pebbles found on beaches along the south coast. In some of the artworks, ammonites or starfish are placed on the beach to represent the coast from which the driftwood was found. These objects make unique and beautiful gifts. All are handmade by Shelly Knight, a talented local artist.

Luxuriously warm, 100% natural, handmade felted sheep wool products from Steph’s own Herdwick Suffolk ewes. Her product range includes rugs, seat pads, dog beds and festive Christmas baubles. In this photo Steph’s felt looks rather like raspberry ripple ice cream - very fresh and original! Is this a one-off design? We will find out at the fair…

A vibrant, lasting dried floral arrangement is a more sustainable solution to fresh cut flowers especially in winter. We love their Christmas wreath (seen here) and we think their bridal bouquets are just gorgeous, a perfect keepsake for such a special day. A natural eco alternative to faux flowers, these pollen free flowers are much appreciated as a gift by those with allergies.

Gorgeous, colourful, unique products made from sustainable resources and up-cycled materials where possible - all handcrafted in India. Natasha has made it her mission to support Indian artisans who create beautiful products that also support ethical practices. She knows the families personally and ensures that they set their own prices for their comfort and wellbeing.

Hayley collects and sells pre-loved baby clothes, children’s and womens wear. She also sells curated vintage items which include clothing and jewellery pieces.

More info coming soon.
