✨LATE NIGHT SHOPPING✨ We will be open for Ash

✨LATE NIGHT SHOPPING✨

We will be open for Ashbourne Late Night Shopping this Friday!

Open until at least 9pm 🎁🎅🏻

If you haven’t visited Ashbourne for late night shopping before, it’s a beautifully festive evening - with a lantern procession down the main high street at 6:30pm

Thank you to everyone who braved the snow today! ❄️

It very nearly was our worst day of the year so far but thanks to a few amazing customers, it turned out to be okay in the end 🤍

Christmas is definitely coming…❄️🎄 Our f

Christmas is definitely coming…❄️🎄

Our festive window display is finished - just in time for the Ashbourne Christmas Lights Switch on tonight!

The other single window is finished too! Watch this space, that’ll be appearing on the grid very soon 👀😍

This week is @justacard #IndieWeek! We’re a little late to the party but better late than never though right!

So yesterday’s prompt was 10 Facts About Me… So here are ten facts about me and the shop (we’re pretty much the same thing nowadays anyway!) that you may not know:

1. So I should probably explain who me is first for those of you who haven’t popped in when I’ve been around. I’m Laura, the owner of Handmade Design 😊
2. Handmade Design first opened its door back in August 2015. I wasn’t the original owner of Handmade Design, the shop actually changed hands back in 2018.
3. Our bricks and mortar shop is based in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. We are on a cute little cobbled square, surrounded by some lovely shop neighbours!
4. I have always been passionate about handmade crafts and started my own little side hustle at aged 16 making jewellery from vintage buttons
5. Three years ago, we stocked around 25 local makers. We now support over 70 UK based small businesses
6. Handmade Design is now a team of four: Me (Laura), Karen, Sally Ann and Ang (my mum). A team photo will be appearing on the grid very soon!
7. You may have guessed this one but my absolute favourite job is dressing the window. The autumnal display is the one I look forward to the most
8. Before Handmade Design, I had never worked in retail. I have been winging it since 2018…
9. I don’t tend to make a great deal of stock for the shop these days, I’m keen to get back to designing again in the new year
10. We were featured on BBC’s Money for Nothing for the first time this year and will be appearing again in their new series in the Spring

I’ve already visited my first Christmas market and sipped my first mulled wine… definitely feeling more Christmasy this year than usual!

I’ll be making a start on our Christmas window over the weekend… 👀❄️

Darker days are definitely upon us now…

It may feel a little miserable but a silver lining - it does make our new window art stand out more! 😍
