How to buy through the Etsy "shop window'

I have joined Etsy to enable purchasers to buy via a safe and well regarded website.
If you see an item for sale in the Gallery section of my website I will post it to Etsy to enable payment etc.

Please contact me to discuss what you're looking for. I can quickly design an Etsy entry to reflect your individual needs. 

For example you may want 4 cards and a special design vase, delivered to 2 addresses. I can make 2 Etsy posts that exactly correspond. I can also upload more detailed photographs.

If you are local to the North York Moors we can meet and I'll hand deliver !

A date at the Deershed 20th to 21st July

It's that time of year and we're off to do the third Deershed Festival near Thirsk North Yorkshire. www.deershedfestival.com

Come and see the ceramics and have a 'Play with Clay'.

I'm taking air dry and traditional clays for all ages to try. There's a great line up, plenty to do and the weather is definitely improving. 
I've tested the gazebos in  windy, wet Appleton so shelter available and 100's of items packed for the workshops including 70  cutters for those who want to make decorations like mine. 
Happy holidays !
