"Gorgeous gems for treasured projects!"

Hi and welcome to my shop, Gem and Fleur!

My name is Abby and I live in dartmoor in the beautiful devon countryside with my husband, our two daughters and our son.

When I get a free moment from busy family life, I love to spend my time rummaging through craft shops, gift shops, charity shops and book stores looking for trinkets and treasures. This was where I got the idea for my shop name.

My hope is that the treasures you can find in my shop will inspire you to have fun making beautiful craft projects that will brighten up yours and your loved one's days.

The ceramic buttons that I sell are handmade by 'Incomparable buttons' in South Africa. Jennifer Pascal, who runs 'Incomparable buttons' provides a fair wage and good working conditions to local South African women, many of whom are the main financial providers for their family. This is such a worthwhile cause and I am really pleased to support this venture.

I was brought up in the UK, but I have had a fascination with African crafts from a young age. I was inspired further when visiting South Africa and Swaziland as well as Rwanda in central Africa, where my sisters have spent some time living. I was stunned by the amazing skills of the craftspeople, painstakingly creating products such as carvings, woven baskets and jewellery by hand.

I send my orders using second class post to the UK. Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries.

Thanks so much for browsing through my shop! I hope you come up with some creative ideas and enjoy crafting!

Best wishes,

Abby
