I have been researching hard the last couple of days and working on new things. I am so happy to see this entry on UK Handmade today, it's fantastic news for small businesses like me. People are really starting to understand more and more about the importance of handmade products and us bringing manufacture back to the UK. It's a completely different world to the Chinese mass manufacturing market I worked in for so many years and one which is so much more satisfiying, if unprofitable by comparison!

Exciting times ahead hopefully! I really recommed UK handmade to anyone out there who is interested in this or has their own craft to have a good look at it
About Me
- Nicola
- Manchester
- Silver Sixpence In Her Shoe was started by me, Nicola, when I couldn't find any accessories I wanted for my own wedding day. I live and work in Manchester but have sent orders as farflung as Sydney Australia. I have a degree in fashion and textiles plus 10 years of buying experience behind me. Now I am lucky to be tying that up with a love of all things haberdashery and vintage in my own business. Tradition states that the bride should place a lucky silver sixpence in her left shoe to bring her a wealth of happiness throughout married life- I have my lovely friend Flo to thank for the name of the business, taken from the rhyme something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in her shoe.
