Discover something interesting
Welcome to a crafting, gifting, browsing & shopping experience which is borne from an urge, a niggle, a whisper that reminds us that there is more to life, more to our expression of self and the lives we live and project. Welcome to a space that reminds us that we are human, that we have an inherent impulse to create, to beautify, to share, to slow down, to find meaning and live authentically – closer to life and the highest expression of who we are.
The Creative Community
Crafters, Artists, Poets, Foodies, Musicians & Storytellers who practice our craft from within our home spaces. We all have the same goal – Feeding our families, creating self-employment, sharing skills, creating opportunity and bringing beauty into our street communities and neighbourhoods by living a more creative and meaningful life. So we do what we can with what we have for the one`s we love in Community Spirit
