It’s all about online platforms for today’s @justacard Indie Week prompt, as I’m not doing any events this year. From next week I’ll be back selling locally though @nenecourtemporium in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire- but for everyone else you can shop my range on Etsy!

The @justacard mission is to get people supporting and buying from small, local & independent businesses of all kinds! Sales are awesome, we love sales; but also understand you can’t buy everything to support everyone. You know what’s free, though? This stuff ⬆️ And spreading the word about small businesses is REALLY appreciated. So buy small when you can, but if you see something you like on social media, give it a like, share, or a few nice words.

It’s here! Day 1 of Indie Week, from the wonderful @justacard folks. Time to (re)introduce myself.

Hi, my name’s Jenni – stationery lover, self-taught book binder, maker of paper and leather things, captain of The Craft Fantastic!

I love upcycling and reusing materials to create small batches of unique handmade items. My upcycled leather has all been rescued; I use it to make notebooks and journals, then with the rest of the off cuts I make mini books, bookmarks and pencil cases.

Along with this I make a range of super fun stationery, from planner clips and stickers to wooden houses to give your stationery a home.

Origami and papercraft is something I've been doing since I was young and, having done it for fun on and off over the years, I found a renewed passion for it! I am pleased to be able to offer a range of handmade paper loveliness, including origami jewellery, cards, gift tags and more.

Oh, hello! A box of mystery? For people who love books? I can't tell you exactly what's inside, but each box will contain one of my book necklaces and a leather bookmark. Everything is made by hand (including the box!).

Oh, come on... it's roughly 6 weeks away, it's perfectly legitimate to talk about Christmas cards! I've done a couple of sets of origami cards for my Etsy shop. Which are your favourite? Reindeer or penguins?

I bet you thought your craft room was messy! It's not always like this, but currently my maker space is in upheaval while we get a new boiler fitted. I can't wait till it's sorted and I've got my workshop back!

Today I’ve been working on a personalised leather bookmark... these are usually quite popular at this time of year! I’ve got plain ones available, too, like this warm brown one. All made from rescued leather!

These babies are now listed in my Etsy shop! Each slogan has been hand written using pyrography. No, I'm not that clever; wood burning by the talented @byrnandragan. This set of 3 wooden pencils comes in an origami holder.
