Hidden Gems On Notonthehighstreet.com

My friend Gabriella Buckingham & shop owner of MooBaaCluck has started blogging about the hidden gems on Not On The Highstreet. If you would like to support small creative businesses this Christmas, take a look at her post below!

Gorgeous vintage style tags from Cherry Pie Lane  Aren’t those tags adorable?

The beautiful Winter Notonthehighstreet brochures are flying through letterboxes all over the country this week and for a while now there’s been a curated policy with stylish gifts in handy sections onNotonthehighstreet.com : if you are in a hurry the brochure and curated areas are really handy but many, many wonderful things go unseen … these are hidden gems! I want to show you fabulous things that the makers themselves have put forward to me that do not feature in the brochures or curated categories.

I’ve been  a Notonthehighstreet seller since 2009 and every year I think it would be great if there were a “Fabulous Finds” or “Hidden Gems” curation so I’m doing something about it this year! I’ll be posting daily until the end of November showing off lots of unique finds; depending on whether I have lots of partners contacting me I may be looking through a lot of pages to discover things that I’ve never seen before and hope you will like too.

Make a cup of tea and take time to browse and click on something that takes your eye here… then discover more about each maker by clicking on their shop name in blue – this will take you to their storefront.. where you can read all about what makes them tick and read customer comments and view every single wonderful thing they make if that takes your fancy.

If you buy anything from these sellers thank you so much – feel good – you’ve just made a maker very happy! At this time of year designers who hand make have invested in materials and in some cases staff so that they can start making now…and with the warm weather people are less inclined to think about Christmas. Thank you for looking.

Please share this blog to help independent makers be seen – thanks so much.
