Beyond thrilled to be able to say that Happydashery are now the latest stockists of Loved Before, the sustainable soft toy adoption agency. 

Even though we have always held sewing and craft workshops, believe it or not, the Haberdashery side of things to Happydashery was never actually in the business plans when we first started... in actual fact the very first day we opened we were told off by a bystander who watched us open our doors that we would never compete with Fabric World, the most amazing of actual Haberdasheries down the High Street from us! 

Absolutely over the moon to be able to introduce you to the extremely lovely Mairi from @wovenbymairi We have been in talks with Mairi for the past few months to organise her running her unique weaving workshops at The.Work.Shop.

If you are not so good at baking then we need to have a chat about the amazing @thebottledbakingco
We started buying in from Greg after we met a few @topdrawerlondon shows ago and taste tested some of the, ‘Fabulous Unicorn Cake’, at the stand (one of the ongoing hardships you have to ‘endure’ 😆) and the rest is history, we have been buying in from them ever since and they make such great gifts! They are today’s #meetthemaker, are featured on our blog and Greg will tell us a little bit more about his amazing business!

We are a little bit behind with our #meetthemaker but are definitely going to catch up this week and are going to kick off with the rather fabulous @nicolarowlands who designed and made this card! We are huge fans of Nicola and her quirky and positive life affirming designs and have bought in from her pretty much since the beginning of @happydashery. She has the perfect range of designs for when you want to send a card version of a hug and we are really looking forward to hearing more about her inspiration for all of her unique designs and how she always gets it right for those cards that are jut perfect for a crappy situation! 

We are absolutely thrilled to be able to introduce you to one of our newest suppliers for this #meetthemaker! She is @lovekikidesigns and she makes these stunning earrings and hair slides! We’re a little bit (read a lot) smitten with them all and think she has totally nailed her inspiration for her makes bringing, ‘joy to those who wear them’. 

We absolutely fell in love with Sakina’s work when we saw it and love just how positive and strong all of her messages are, whether on her cards or her prints. In Sakina’s own words, she believes in, ‘bringing people together through shared human values’, and her work is a true reflection of this motivation. You can read more about this amazing person and her lovely brand, in her own words, below and you can see more of her collection that we currently have in (& will be adding to again soon) on our website!
