Thought I would share with you my gorgeous new handmade jewellery purchase from the lovely April at Little April Showers Jewellery
I found her lovely site Facebook and have sat many times oggling her petite earring studs of mini chocolate bars and the funky biscuit keyrings in her Tea & Biscuits Range.
I was lucky enough to have a little chat with April and asked her few questions regarding her and her business.
1. When & Why You started a small business?
"I've always loved making things with my hands, creating something people can wear and love. I've had a small business for approximately 4 years now, built it up from nothing and nurtured it into what it is today. I love being able to make and try new things, then selling what I've made... it's extremely rewarding."
2. Have you had a funny customer/request?
"Nothing too crazy, but a few of the most memorable are pretzel earrings, ginger nut biscuit key-rings for Father's Day and personalised love hearts with couple's names on which I always think is nice!"
3. If you could do anything, what would you just love to do with your business
"If I had funding and space, I would kit out a cute studio with lots of lovely tools and plenty of space, and employ some makers and marketing staff."
4. What is your favourite product by another business?
"I really love the range of biscuit cushions by designer/maker Nikki Williams! They're on my Xmas list!!"
5.What is your favourite cake/biscuit?
"It's sooo hard to choose... I have such a sweet tooth! But biscuit-wise I do really love a good custard cream, and cake-wise I can't say no to a piece of Battenburg cake or carrot cake mmm!"
