About me and my shop
I thought I would take the opportunity to tell you all a little bit about myself and how I started my shop. Back in 2018, I found myself in a very stressful job with little rewards whilst my son was struggling at home. To help me cope, I started doing what I loved as a little girl, which was crafting. In 2019, an opportunity arose allowing me to leave the 9-5 job behind and spend more time with my family. I started to craft more and more and was getting more and more frustrated at the lack of quality craft supplies in Ireland at affordable prices and I was sourcing a lot in UK and rest of Europe/World for myself. After Brexit became a reality, I saw an opportunity to start importing quality supplies into Ireland. I sometimes spend weeks and months finding the best quality supplies and negotiating the best deals with worldwide suppliers. My ethos from the start has always been to provide great material at reasonable prices. I only sell items I would gladly use myself in my own crafts. Since 2020 my little business has been growing steadily and I hope to be able to continue to expand to bring even more supplies into the country. I am always open to suggestions and would love for all of you to let me know what craft supplies you think are missing in Ireland. I will always do my best to help you source it if I believe there is a market for it here. Since leaving my job, I have been so much happier, building my own business whilst also having plenty of time to spend with my family. I just love seeing my son coming home from school with a smile on his face ! Please visit my shop (https://sii.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/store/handmade-crafts-by-nicole/)to see what is already available. I have big plans for 2022 onwards, so keep an eye on my shop and on the Shop in Ireland Facebook group too. Thank you so much for all of you who have already purchased of me this year and hoping to serve even more of you in the future.
