Here is a little about Sam and her store

My grandmother has always fostered my love of craft. No matter what project I would dream up she always had an endless array of tidbits to use. You never knew what treasures she could unearth.

In an age where everything is mass produced nothing compares to the 'Old Favourites' of yesteryear.

We specialise in creating themed collections full of vintage products and also stock a variety of unique embellishments. New themed collections are being added regularly and if you can't find one to suit we are happy to create one for you. I love adding pieces of nostalgic flair to my scrapbook pages and want to share with you the 'Old Favourites' of the past for your craft projects of the future.

Pop over and check out the lovely pieces Sam has put together.
