Featured is the Mrs Cat Loves Knitting felt craft kit − everything you need to complete the kit is in the box.

All of TopDog Candles’ products are made from naturally-sourced, eco-friendly and vegan soy wax. Being eco-friendly is at the heart of the company’s ethos. Even its packaging is 90 per cent environmentally friendly and will be 100 per cent by mid-2021. All products are seasonally scented (changing every six months to keep products fresh) and use bio-degradable mica for a glitter effect. info@topdogcandles.com www.topdogcandles.etsy.com LAVINIA STAMPS Lavinia Stamps is a homegrown craft company with humble beginnings starting at the kitchen table evolving into a successful British business.
