Small things bright and beautiful,
No, that wasn't a typing error of your favourite hymn, it's the name of a new enterprise set up by Sam Bright, a woman with a passion for creativity.
Are you bored of the same old high street gifts? Or are you pulling your hair out because you can't find something original anymore? Well consider your struggle for the perfect small gift to be a thing of the past.
Sam has pulled together a collection of hand made gifts and decorations that can be personalised to your requirements, whether thats a form of Christmas themed bunting or a personalised wood tea light candle holder, thats up to you ....Sam can do it all!
Sam's aim is to help the environment, up-cycling as much as possible for example re-using pre-loved tee-shirts and turning them into handbags or purses.
It all started as a way to deal with Anxiety and Depression, and a friend's small budget wedding. Sam created over 200 metres of bunting using only salvaged and pre-loved bed linen, men's shirts and women's clothes.
Today, Sam even has her own unique way of safely carrying snacks by re-using cereal packets and new materials to transform them into "Snack Monsters", which are small square pockets with a zip to easily carry food with an amusing twist.
Sam's hope for the future is to continue what she loves doing and making all things small, bright and beautiful, one T-shirt at a time!
