The shops have been open some time now and we hope you’re reaping the rewards. My feedback has been positive with shop owners commenting on new customers, people buying in bulk (possibly worried about the dreaded third wave) and generally enjoying being able to see the colours and textures on offer once again. The next big step is the return of physical trade shows. This issue, we have a spotlight on the London Stationery Show where you can read all about what to expect at the London Design Centre this October!
In this edition, we have plenty of inspiration for knitting & crochet, card making, stamping & embossing and – is that the sound of sleigh bells ringing – part one of our Christmas special!
So, as we enter the second half of 2021 please support your local craft shops, keep smiling (mask or no mask) and carry on creating − I certainly will be!
Enjoy the issue!
