Belfast is crammed with tourists, eager to snap up a memento of their rain sodden stay. To answer this need the Papers Corporation, working closely with the tourist board, have launched a souvenir Belfast rat figurine ‘Farley’. Here he is perched on some traditional soda bread, ready to gnaw a corner, what a loveable scamp! We’d just like to point out you don’t get the bread with the rat , it’s just for display, they’re not glued together you know. Rats will soon ( when I’ve made a few more) join the history mice in the Papers heritage rodent range at Craftni. Giant’s Causeway gerbils coming soon! #mrhoracepapers #papermache #irishsouvenir #belfast #ormobakery #northernireland #folkartist #sodabread #tasteofulster #folkart #irishfood #suecathcart #craftni #nitouristboard

Caught between the clouds and the wild Irish Sea, the Mountains of Mourne stand as a testament to nature’s artistry. 🌬️🌊 No picture can do them justice, no words can fully describe their rugged beauty; they need to be felt, breathed, and experienced. From my childhood days in Northern Ireland to now, Mourne has remained a constant source of awe. Have you ever experienced something so awe-inspiring? Share with me! 🏞️✨ #BeyondTheLens #MourneMoments #mountainsofmourne #northernireland #nitouristboard #newcastle #codownscenery #homesweethome

Such a beautiful March day yesterday at The Ballygally Castle Hotel , Co Antrim. It allowed me to experience the Belvedere Room as a wedding venue. The surrounding gardens and river made it all very calm and tranquil for everyone. The sun shone, the blue sky made a superb backdrop for the team at Make My Day Photography It was a truly gorgeous Spring wedding. Lovely to work alongside Catherine Hamilton, Soprano and Harpist. What a talent?? All I had to do was talk! Many congratulations to another very happy couple. ❤️ #uksoc #uksocietyofcelebrants #ballygallycastlehotel #celebrantwedding #celebrantledceremony #niweddingplanner #niweddings #nitouristboard #lovenorthernireland #catherinehamiltonharpist #makemydayphotography #springweddings #allaboutweddingsireland

Another knock, another love story to collect. Good to know today that some people (like me 😇) took it easy on the St. Patrick's day celebrations and found time to talk about their big day. The city was quiet as we had a great chat re their 'after registry office' party. Lovely venue chosen in Belfast where I can join the happy couple and tell their love story to all of their guests. A clink off a glass, Your finest attention please' and back to the bride and groom. After all, it is your day, your way! 🥂. Back home now, nails painted, ready for a full ceremony tomorrow for others. ❤️ So much love going around. Loving it. 💋 #uksoc #celebrantledceremony #celebrantwedding #weddingplanningni #weddingplanning24 #lovebelfast #lovenorthernireland #bespokeceremony #nitouristboard #allaboutweddingsni #loveisintheair #stpatricksday #happyhangovers

Rabbit and Lark create the most beautiful painted peg characters for children. Each character is handpainted and sparks a child's imagination. Be sure to pop over to Claire at Rabbit and Lark to pick up something unique for the kids in your life.  Q1 Tell us a bit about yourself. My name's Claire Hawkins, I'm a wife and mum of Annie, a 4 year old bundle of fun and the reason behind Rabbit and Lark. I'm a big child who loves to read and play.  Q2. When did you start Rabbit and Lark? Rabbit and Lark started in 2020 and was the result of entertaining a toddler during lockdown and the decline in photography work during the pandemic.  It has grown from a little idea of creating little play set ups to today's idea of producing beautiful and lasting toys that are fun and educational.  Q3. What are your most popular products? Our story sacks are the most popular choice;  the idea of engaging little ones in the tales we read to them is really capturing people's imagination.  Every year there is a lot of interest in the creative play sets we have for Christmas,  make your own snowmen and gingerbread men kits using our handmade doughs is a fantastic little gift for the run up to Christmas.  4. What is your favourite Christmas tradition? I adore Christmas so it's hard to choose just one element but at the heart of it all is spending time with the people I love, eating, playing and relaxing together after a crazy season. Oh I also love bread sauce... why don't I make that all year round! #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

We are very excited to welcome the @littleforgetmenotstrust to Saintfield on Saturday. The lovely team will be hosting a special decoration making workshop. You will craft your own personalized Christmas decoration—a little clay star with your child's name on it. This special creation will be added to a pre-embossed large clay star, kilned and varnished in advance. The workshop will be open throughout the day so grab a cuppa & head to the @littleforgetmenotstrust ladies to create something extra special. You can also book a slot via their website. The link is in our bio. #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

If you are into dreamy interiors and home styling head straight to @cohenandcointeriors Helen is known for hosting the fabulous @cohenandco_seasons_market and we are delighted to welcome her to Saintfield on Saturday. Let's find out a bit more about her.  Q1. Tell me a bit about yourself. Hello, I’m Helen, founder of Cohen & Co, mum of three and dog mum to Golden Retriever Heidi. I’m an Interior Designer and my husband and I built our own home in 2017 and are slowly finishing the decor and landscaping.  Q2. How/when did you start Cohen and Co? We launched our interior brand in 2021 after finding it difficult to source good quality furniture in NI in a more minimalist design. We work with a number of makers across NI & Donegal to create beautiful, classic interior pieces from large console tables to throws & handmade mugs. Q3. Show me/tell me about some of your popular/favourite products? Our classic three drawer Lucas console is one of our favourite and best selling pieces. Our linen napkins are also very special, I source heritage linen from a Belfast linen mill and my lovely mum makes these into napkins, tea towels and place settings.   Q4. What is your favourite Christmas tradition? It has to be choosing our Christmas tree as a family and decorating it together. I’ll pop a Christmas movie on and we’ll have some festive nibbles. Then I’ll rearrange all the baubles once the kids have gone to bed lol. #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

Cloverhill Ceramics will be joining us on Saturday and bringing her range of beautiful handmade ceramics. Visit Lisa's table for the lovliest Christmas Tree tea light holders or decorative trees. Grab yourself a special mug to enjoy your morning coffee all year round. Let's say hello! Q1 Tell us a bit about you. I'm Lisa, married to Peter and we have two sons Ben and Euan who now tower over me, I seem to have bred giants! I've always been a maker, learning to knit and sew as a young child with my Granny. We also share our house with Charlie, a very aloof cat and Paddy, our Spaniel who is absolutely bonkers! Q2 How did you start Cloverhill Ceramics? I did ceramics at college but then life took me in a different direction and clay was abandoned for 20 years! When life threw a few challenges at us, I bought some clay as stress relief. I really enjoyed making and it grew from there! It's still very part time depending on health, but I will always have something creative on the go.  Q3 What are your favourite and most popular products?  Of course coming up to Christmas the Christmas Tree tea light holders and decorative trees are the main focus. However my favourite things to make are the Halloween Ghosts, they are really fun to make. I love the fact my pottery is useful and can be used every day. It's such a privilege to be part of my customers day when they use my mugs for their relaxing morning coffee! I also love the design of my soap dish which helps put an end to soggy soap! Q4 What are your favourite Christmas traditions? As my boys have got older, Christmas has changed. Of course there still is the excitement of Santa in the morning. But the day is more relaxed these days, mostly because my son Euan now does most of the cooking on Christmas day! Christmas evening is usually a good film and a jigsaw. #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

Grace & Golden is the place to go for absolutely beautiful children's gifts & party decorations. I can't wait to see what Steph brings next Saturday. 😍 Q1. Tell me a bit about yourself. Hi, I'm Steph! I'm a Mum of two, Grace (4) and Noah (7 months) and 6 years married to my wonderful husband Daryl. I taught myself to sew during lockdown and absolutely love having this creative outlet.  Q2. How/when did you start Grace and Golden? My daughter's first birthday was in lockdown and I wanted to make it extra special so I decided to make all of our own decorations, including a little Liberty cake topper. I started making for family and friends and then in March 2021 I set up the Grace & Golden Etsy shop!  Q3. Show me/tell me about some of your popular/favourite products? I have had two products become Etsy bestsellers, which includes our Christmas Liberty stars and our reusable cake bunting. The bunting is one of my favourite products to make because it's unique to Grace & Golden and is a perfect example of our mission to create reusable decorations that will last for years to come! I love being able to play a part in your birthday traditions.  Q4. What is your favourite Christmas tradition? Going to the panto with our friends and their kids. Grace absolutely loves it and I can't wait for Noah to be able to enjoy it to.  #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

The baby clay imprints really took off and I decided to go mobile and rename as Little Keepsakes. On the side I make a few ceramic decorations for craft fairs.  Q3: My most popular products are baubles, baubles and more baubles!! Mainly baby imprint baubles, but I also make bespoke decorative baubles which will be available at the Christmas Fair.  Q4: Favourite Christmas tradition is Advent Sundays!

Christine is Saintfield born & bred & also the most talented artist. It's so lovely to have her join us with her art! Let's find out more about her...  Q1. Tell me a bit about yourself. Hi, I’m Christine and I work in Vanilla Bean coffee shop in Saintfield. I love cats and all things colourful (especially purple!). I hike in the Mournes whenever I get the chance, after getting the mountain climbing bug a couple of years ago. It’s a great place to clear your head and get inspired.  Q2. How/when did you start Maple Moon? I have always been creative and loved to make things from a young age. I suppose I viewed it as a hobby and didn’t think beyond that. My dad was always nudging me towards selling my artwork, and it was only when he passed away in January 2021 that I thought seriously about it. Thanks to my good (also very creative) friend Aisleigh giving me a push to think of a name and come up with a logo - Maple Moon was born!  I started by painting pet portraits for friends and family in 2021. I was gradually doing some commissions, more of my own artwork and getting prints made too. 2022 was a bit of a rollercoaster and I’ve struggled to sit still and be creative but I’m slowly finding my feet again this year.  Q3. Show me/tell me about some of your popular/favourite products? I love painting mountains and I have some colourful animal prints. Everyone seems to love Dominic the donkey and Alfie the alpaca, they are my best-selling prints. I think their quirky expressions make them cute and eye catching! Q4. What is your favourite Christmas tradition? Watching The Snowman with a Snowball in hand (the drink kind)! #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

I've never had any jewellery making experience or back round but through YouTube videos and tutorials I learnt how to make my beaded bracelets I now make and sell Q3. Show me/tell me about some of your popular/favourite products? The name bracelets in 14k gold and Sterling silver and also the white beaded bracelets are the most popular and favourite makes to-date.

I am absolutely buzzing to welcome the exquisite Grace James Handmade to our fair. Lucy sews the most beautiful clothing and accessories using Liberty Fabrics & Irish Linen. Grace James is now also a stockist of the cute Maileg Range - ideal for a special children's gift.  Q1. Tell me a bit about yourself. Hi, I’m Lucy. I’m a busy mum to two children Leila Grace and Luke James. This is where my business name came from. I love the simple things in life. Spending time by the sea is a must, nothing beats a walk along the North Coast.  Q2. How/when did you start GJ Design? I started sewing little felt dolls by hand for my daughter. This quickly developed into wanting to learn how to use a sewing machine. Everything grew from there. I taught myself through you tube and making many mistakes along the way.  Q4. What is your favourite Christmas tradition?  The Pantomime. It is always my favourite event of the year with my family. When we lived in London, we always had Christmas at my in laws. Santa always comes to Granny’s and Grandpa’s house every year. This has continued almost 12 years later. Q3. Show me/tell me about some of your popular/favourite products? Grace James is all about beautiful Liberty fabrics. Making an item that can be worn and used time and time again is extremely important. One of my favourite products will always be our padded Liberty and cuddle soft blanket. It’s just lovely seeing little ones grow up using their blanket as a form of comfort and security #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

How/when did you start Paper Dove by Rebecca? I started about 7 years ago after coming home from a year long mission trip to Kenya.

In our house December is a month of crackers, cheese & delicious chutneys. The Lush Larder makes the most delicious selection of jams & chutneys - particularly the Christmas Jam which is perfect for the festive period. If you fancy the sound of it send The Lush Larder a message to pre-order for collection on the 2nd. Let's find out more about Tracey.  Q1 Tell us a bit about yourself. My name is Tracey and I am a solo artisan maker of jams & chutneys since 2019. I have a passion for cooking, growing some of our own fruits & vegetables and experimenting with food & flavours. I am also a huge advocate for supporting local and protecting our environment! The Lush Larder is quintessentially an extension of me; it is a fusion of my core interests & values!  I am a single parent to three wonderful children since my husband passed away in 2014. In 2019, my youngest child was nearing secondary school age and I realised I needed something to occupy my time & my mind whilst my children were at school BUT, it needed to be home-based AND work around my family.  I needed to start a “life-style business”… and so, after years of making jams & chutneys for family & friends, I summoned the courage to start up The Lush Larder  working from my country home in Co Armagh. Q2 When did you start The Lush Larder? Using traditional preserving techniques, I make small batches of Jams & Chutneys from homegrown, foraged and locally-sourced fruits and vegetables. I work within season, as our ancestors did, and everything is meticulously prepared and made by hand at my home in Co Armagh, Northern Ireland.  I believe the freshness of homegrown and locally sourced produce, not only reduces food miles and my carbon footprint, but is also a huge attribute in making my Jams and Chutneys taste so good. Being from County Armagh, also known as “The Orchard County”, our local EU PGI Status Bramley Apple is an essential ingredient in many of my Jams and Chutneys. All my products are vegan friendly and free from artificial preservatives & colourings.  *Continued in comments*

We are looking forward to welcoming Cowfield Design to Saintfield on 2nd December. If you are looking for something inspired by our beautiful wee country make a beeline for their table.  Q1. Tell me a bit about yourself. Cowfield Design is a small family business made up Father (Sean), Son (Conor) and Daughter (Sarah) < This is me! I look after all our marketing including socials and I am also in charge of the day-to-day operations. When I am not working at Cowfield the majority of my time is taken up looking after my two boys! Q2. How/when did you start Cowfield Design? Cowfield Design started 6 years ago, and it all started when Sean made a mini replica of the H&W cranes out in his garage. This was our first product and still to this day is one of our most popular products. Over the last 6 years we have expanded our product range and now have a range of products that are inspired by where we are from or where we have been. Q3. Show me/tell me about some of your popular/favourite products? My favourite product is our mini Belfast Sink, I have two in my own house! I just love that it can be used in so many ways; I use mine to hold jewellery and the other one is by my kitchen sink and holds my sponge! Q4. What is your favourite Christmas tradition? I love putting up the Christmas decorations, I love how the house looks and feels when it’s decorated, and I also love having a nosy at other people’s decorations. There is just something about Christmas lights and decorations, it really puts you in the Christmas spirit! #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

You've probably seen these beautiful beanies, neckwarmers & backpacks on your travels recently. We can't wait to nab some wintery essentials from True North Life next month. Let's say hello!  Q1. Tell me a bit about yourself. I’m Jenny, I live by the coast in Bangor with my family. We love to get outdoors to enjoy the beauty on our doorstep and savour the changing seasons around us.  I’ve always found nature to be my haven for finding peace and a source of inspiration in the chaos and confusion of life. It brings refreshment and renewal to keep going through the seasons of life, and continues to realign my inner compass to True North. There’s nothing quite like the awe at a beautiful landscape or an intricate detail in creation to draw us to see the bigger perspective of life. Our mantra is 'Get out there, Seek and Find' as there’s always something new to discover and delight in outdoors. Q2. How/when did you start True North Life? We launched True North Life in October 2020 with one product and a dream to become a trusted supplier of genuinely useful and sustainably-made gear for life outdoors for all the family.  We launched our Infinity Bands, multiway scarves/headbands with designs inspired by some of our favourite places in Northern Ireland. They sold so quickly we had to restock within 2 weeks and continue to sell them today. Since then, we’ve added on a number of further products to our range for life around the seasons, including backpacks, sling bags, caps, knitted hats, picnic blankets, socks and sunglasses - all made with sustainable materials/alternatives and designed by us to look good, feel good and do good. We continue to give a donation to the RNLI Lifeboat stations as part of our business and love supporting their work in keeping our coastal communities safe at sea. *Continued in comments #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

If you're on the lookout for some homeware or personalised signs for yourself or for a gift be sure to check out Sunshine & Grace. Let's find out more about them!  Hi, my name is Michaela and I’m one half of a duo, along with my husband Chris, we create bespoke, handmade wooden signs and home decor.  Back in 2012, Sunshine and Grace came from a time in my life where I wanted to create signs and gifts that I would love to receive or have in my own home, modern, bright and encouraging. With God's great gift of discernment I would pick up on particular seasons or hard times friends or others were going through. So, I started to make a selection of wooden signs, wrap them up and keep them in the boot of my car. When I got a Holy Spirit prompt, I would leave a little random act of kindness on their doorstep or a little bit of sunshine. And this is where  "Sunshine and Grace" began. Christmas is my absolute favourite time of year, to create just beautiful,modern and quality signs suitable for very home. Our most popular every year is JOY which will be available at our Artisan Fair and some wooden signs decorated in old traditional music paper.   My favourite Christmas tradition is decorating our “World Christmas tree”. For 23 years Chris and I have collected a Christmas decoration from every town, city or country we have visited around the world (and we have travelled a lot)  #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

We are super excited to have the lovely Susanna Banks Art with us next month! Let's say hello!  Q1. Tell me a bit about yourself. Hello, I'm Susanna - an illustrator and printmaker from Newtownards. I'm a Christian and mum to the beautiful Polly and rascally Thomas, married to Chris and we're new members of Millisle Baptist where Chris is one of the pastors. Q2. How/when did you start Susanna Banks Art? I studied Fine Art at Ulster University and graduated in 2012. My background has always been in painting, but since Polly was born in 2016 my work has taken a different direction. I'm still heavily influenced by my faith, colour, childlike wonder and stories but in a more accessible illustrative way. I tend now to mainly work in print, collage, and digital drawing and all from my home studio. Q3. Show me/tell me about some of your popular/favourite products? My bestsellers tend to flit between my illustrated maps and my nursery prints. Although my range of greetings cards also take the stage sometimes! I love designing my cards and injecting a little bit of humour into them. Q4. What is your favourite Christmas tradition? My favourite Christmas tradition would be night time walks under the twinkly lights and snuggling up with my family for a round of hot chocolates.. mallows, no cream please! #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

If you're on the look out for the most beautiful and unique nursery décor head straight to Amanda's table on 2nd December. Let's find out a bit more about Nursery Décor by Amanda Lewis. Q1. Tell me a bit about yourself. I’m Amanda, mummy of 2 boys! Obsessed with Autumn, Christmas and chai lattes   I sew all of my items by hand from my studio at home - just me and my needle and thread!  Q2. How/when did you start Nursery Decor by Amanda Lewis? I started when I had my first baby in 2014 as I couldn’t sit and do nothing while he slept (crazy I know!!) I just needed something to do! So my mum gave me a needle and thread, I got some felt and started making small items, it then grew towards the nursery decor items after a couple of years as they were what I enjoyed making the most!  Q3. Show me/tell me about some of your popular/favourite products? My most popular items are currently my bouclé wall hanging decorations - balloons, clouds and teddy bears/elephants. Also my cot mobiles too! I love making all of them and seeing them in customers nursery’s is just the best feeling. Q4. What is your favourite Christmas tradition? Going to my granny’s for our Christmas dinner - the best meal of the year! I’ve been going there every year since I was a baby! So grateful to still be able to do this. #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

Let's say hi to Hannah from Knit & Knot. I am a bit of a collector of Hannah's creations and am absolutely thrilled she will be joining us on 2nd December.  Q1. Tell me a bit about yourself. I’m Hannah, a medical secretary and mum of three who loves just about any type of craft (making and buying!) Q2. How/when did you start Knit & Knot? Like a lot of us I started knit and knot during lockdown! I did a LOT of crafting during that time and only intended to make names for my kids and my nieces and nephews. I popped them on Instagram and had a few people ask me for them and set up a page. I never imagined I would be sending them all over the world and I am beyond grateful (and surprised) that I am!  Q3. Show me/tell me about some of your popular/favourite products? My favourite products are my staple - the knitted names. I love that I can make names for those kids who can’t typically find their name on products on the high street and that often when they’re bought they’re for a special occasion like a birthday or a new baby, I love that I get to be a small part of that.  Closely followed by my nativities. They are a labour of love and I have needed to rope my husband into helping me make them for the last three years and secretly I love that time sitting down and making them together while the kids are in bed!  Q4. What is your favourite Christmas tradition? I read about the German tradition of hiding a pickle on your Christmas tree when my son was really young and when I came across a pickle ornament shortly after I decided it would give it a go.   The person who finds it first gets a small treat, it’s just a bit of fun, but I love that it’s now a tradition in our home.    #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

We're looking forward to seeing Joye with the lovely Tropic Skincare range. Let's get to know her! Q1. Tell me a bit about yourself. My name is Joye Henderson. I am married with 3 children. I previously worked for a dermatology company for 10 years, then took a career break for 2 years. I have sensitive skin and was very reluctant to try Tropic Skincare Products as I have always used fragrance free products. I took a chance and tried Tropic Skincare’s Smoothing cleanser in July 2020. My skin felt amazing, the smell was equally amazing and my skin didn’t react I was instantly addicted and have never looked back. I can use every Tropic product without my skin reacting. All my skincare, body care, make up is all Tropic now I wouldn’t use anything else. It is natural, healthy, contains no chemicals and it feels so luxurious - like having a Spa treatment everyday!  Q2. How/when did you start your Tropic business?  Since trying Tropic in July 2020 I instantly enquired about becoming a Tropic Ambassador. I paid £198 for my starter kit containing £500 worth of products, including my Tropic website and full training and support from Tropic. The only targets I have is what I set for myself no pressure. My daughter has beautiful skin, I personally have a lot of sun damage on my face from years ago and I want her to look after her skin and use good healthy products.  Q3. Show me/tell me about some of your popular/favourite products? I love so many Tropic products it is hard to pick a favourite however the Smoothing Cleanser was my first product to try and the most popular. Tropic sell 1 Smoothing Cleanser every 30 seconds!   We also have a new revolutionary product ’Youth Potion’ just launched it contains the world’s first natural retinal which works 10 times faster than retinol, fantastic for sensitive skin, helps reverse the signs of ageing, reducing lines and boosting collagen production. It is packed full of vitamins.  The Gift collections just get better every year and 2023 is no exception with something to suit everyone.  Continued in comments

Lucy from Urban Bloom Creative creates the most stunning dried floral bouquets, wreaths and so much more. I fell in love with her lavender and wheat wreath at a fair in the summer and have been swooning over her page since.😍 Let’s find out more about her: Q1. Tell me a bit about yourself. I'm Lucy and I run Urban Bloom Creative alongside my other half Chrisy. I enjoy all things crafty and always have done from a young age. I especially enjoy gardening, being outdoors and growing my own flowers. Q2. How/when did you start Urban Bloom Creative? Urban Bloom Creative started off as a lockdown project, something to fill the time of a chaotic time. It started off with painting glass bottles as vases for flowers and plant pots for my plants in the green house. I started off using decoupage to design and decorate. These were super popular and gave me the confidence to start growing my own flowers and arranging different styles. After the season ended I learned how to dry what was left of the summer blooms. This is really when Urban Bloom Creative turned into what we know today as my dried floral collection. Q3. Show me/tell me about some of your popular/favourite products? Some of our most popular projects are dried floral Wreaths. Scented with naturally dried lavender, placed on a bedroom door, fills the room with a lovely soothing lavender, perfect for a peaceful nights sleep. Or our calming eucalyptus grab and go bunches. Q4. What is your favourite Christmas tradition? My favourite Christmas tradition would have to be drying oranges for decorations. The smell of orange, cinnamon and clove throughout the house on the run up to Christmas is just so lovely! See you on the 2nd Lucy! ☺️ #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown

If you are searching for the most beautiful and unique lampshades for your home you can stop looking now – This Little Light of Mine will be able to create what you’ve been dreaming of.  Tell us a little about yourself. Hi I’m Rebecca.  I’m a Christian, wife to Philip and busy mum to 2 beautiful children.  I job share as a primary school teacher 2 days a week.  I love the countryside, flowers, a beach walk, horse riding, a good book and anything art and craft related.   When did This Little Light of Mine start? This Little Light Of Mine started in Spring of 2021.  It is a small business that came about during lockdown when my sister in law needed some lampshades and I thought I’d give them a go.  I fell in love with lampshade making and the business blossomed from then.   What do you make? I make empire, drum and coolie lampshades in various sizes from very small candle clips to large standard lamp shades. I pride myself in making quality lampshades from beautiful linens and cottons.  I try to source my fabrics from UK designers.  Some of my most popular shades are those which have a plain linen on the outside and a patterned fabric on the inside.  When the light is turned on it can give a totally different look from daytime to night time.  They work really well as table lamps but also as ceiling pendants.  They look fabulous and are very unique to anything you can buy in the shops.  As well as being able to purchase shades from stock, customers can order a bespoke shade, choosing fabrics that best suit their decor.   Tell us what you love about Christmas. I love Christmas. Although I enjoy all of the seasons Christmas is by far my favourite time of the year.  I love singing Carols in church, reading the Christmas story with my children, putting up the Christmas tree and decorating the house.  It’s a wonderful family time.  #craftfairni #nicrafters #christmascrafts #christmasmarket #nismallbusiness #shopsmallnorthernireland #shopsmalllovelocal #supportlocal #supportlocalni #nitourism #nitouristboard #northernireland #discoverni #smallbusinessnorthernireland #pizza #nifood #streetfoodni #Saintfield #countydown
