Hello Everybody, handicraftstef here!

You'll find a selection of elegant, fun, quirky, unique handcrafted jewellery, handbag/belt/mobile phone charms, kiddie kits (beading kits for children and creative adults),greeting cards,and hand embroidered artwork, -- as well as -- cuddly toys, buttons, fabric.

I take great pride in maintaining my reputation as a trustworthy, ethical, creative person (seller). I strive to be honest and accurate in all of my listing product descriptions.

I put many happy crafting hours into the creation of each piece, such as the fully beaded, bendy brooches for instance. As they're not mass produced, each one is unique. Some items can be tailored to your special requirements (size) as well. It takes a lot of patience and a lot of love for the craft. Fortunately, I've plenty of both!

My mission is to offer you unique items that are perfect for you and the special people in your life.

AND, I've just added a small selection of beads for you to create your own designs!

NOTE: I'VE RECENTLY CLOSED MY SHOP,and will just do listings from now. I'm building the inventory back up to a small collection of items. If you don't see something that used to be in the shop, just email me and I'll list it for you.

For several years I supplied handcrafted greeting cards to stores such as Harvey Nichols. I've designed jewellery and handcrafted pieces for the past 20 years. I attended the Chelsea College of Art and Design where I had a marvelous opportunity to learn to work with colour as a watercolourist.

Wanting a more wearable and user-friendly approach to colour and design, I returned to jewellery making and began expanding my horizons by selling locally and worldwide.

New bits and pieces are being added frequently,so please visit my listings often! If you'd like, please add me to your favourites list.

I accept payment via Paypal. It's safe for all parties concerned and it's very easy. Your goods are shipped as soon as possible.

Within the UK, cheques are accepted with cheque guarantee card information (number and exp. date) written on the back of the cheque. Goods will be shipped promptly after the cheque has been cleared by my bank. You'll receive emails both confirming my receipt of your cheque, and confirming that the cheque has cleared and your goodies are on the way to you.

International and European orders are filled via Paypal only.

All jewelry is sent by 1st class Recorded Delivery ('Signed for'), or 'International Signed For'. A pretty gift box, or extra special wrapping, is included in this charge. Greeting cards are sent via 1st class mail, or internationally -- via Air Mail.

I'll be happy to ship multiple items in the same package and pass along the savings to you!

Please note that I can't be responsible for Royal Mail losing any items in transit. Also, please remember that your goodies have to be signed for upon delivery. If for some reason you're not at home to sign for your package and then you don't make it to your local parcel/post collection point by their deadline -- it comes back to me and I must ask you to be responsible for additional postage to remail the package.

BUT, it's really easy to avoid that scenario by picking up the package if needed before the post's deadline. :D

If there are any problems with your order, please do let me know and we'll take care of it.

I put a lot of love and energy into my products and I really want you to be happy and satisfied with your purchase!

Please do take time to leave your positive feedback regarding our transaction,and allow me to do the same for you.

Thank you!
