Little Puddles began in 2007, a hobby which turned into a small business. The name comes from a family nickname - my mother's maiden name is Poole, and she had 12 brothers and sisters. When they all went walking with their mum, people in the town would call out, 'Hey, there's Mrs Poole and all her Little Puddles!' My creativity and love of crafting is definitely inspired by my mum; she quilts, sews, knits...she creates the most beautiful pieces and is so talented.
In the beginning, most of my pieces were earrings, necklaces and bracelets created using Swarovski crystals and pearls, semi-precious gems and quality beads. These were predominantly custom orders for weddings and special events.
I LOVE crafting, and my ranges quickly grew to include jewellery and accessories handcrafted using up-cycled cotton quilting remnants and cover buttons. Recently I have also begun crafting headbands for babies and children using felt material, quilting remnants and lace...all inspired by my beautiful baby girl, Emily Mae.
Welcome! Read about all of my adventures with Little Puddles, including the introduction of several new ranges inspired by my gorgeous little girl, Emily Mae. Stay tuned to my blog to find out about market appearances, new products and sales. I hope you enjoy! Natalie xxx
