Summer is for slowing down a little, for catching up in gardens, wandering through markets, or heading off on a small escape. And while you’re out and about, it’s a lovely chance to pick up something from a local maker. A small gift, something useful, or just a piece that makes you smile, thoughtful, handmade things that feel right for the season and support the creatives!
