HANDMADE
mostly by me and friends I hope you find something of interest here for yourself, or a gift with a difference. I can deliver locally in the Sudbury/Long Melford area, or arrange for posting. I prefer a more personal touch when it comes to online buying and ordering, so haven't set up 'click and buy'. Please contact me on 07791 385240 / email [email protected]. |

Bògòlanfini / Mud Cloth
£48 each. P&P excluded This beautiful cotton cloth is handmade in Mali, traditionally dyed with fermented mud. Each pattern and cloth is unique. The 'Traditional' cloth is woven cotton strips, dyed and sown together. The cloth is a bit thicker, and a wee bit smaller than the one piece. great for a small blanket or throw. The one piece is thinner, ideal for sewing, or a throw. The individual picture will tell you the size and if it's 1 piece or traditional. Unfortunately travel to Mali is considered unsafe at present, so I get the cloth from Oumar, a Malian man who is now based in The Gambia. |

CACAO
Chocolate in it's purest form!
Not grown or handmade by me, but I spent a long time sourcing organic, as ethical as possible and good quality cacao from Peru.
The nibs are the purest form of cacao available, air dried and packed full of goodness.
They add a yummy crunch to breakfasts, salads and other snacks.
The 'paste' can be cut or grated, and mixed with hot milk of your choice for a healthy chocolate drink.
You can add honey, nutmeg, chilli, cinnamon - be experimental to your hearts content!
The paste is basically the nibs ground up to make them easier to melt.
I can bore you for hours with information on cacao,
but here's a lovely article that explains it all.
Nibs: 250g £10
Paste: £250g £12
