Story

As a keen crafter I originally began making collectable bears under the brand name Paws ‘N’ Time and opened a showroom at home. I enjoyed crafting bears for over ten years and then one day simply decided it was time to pack away the fur and begin a new challenge!

I began by making a few snowmen and got a few orders and from there things just snowballed! I now had a new interest that was to prove to be quite addictive! I opened my Christmas Shop here in Taradale, Napier five years ago and have enjoy each year more and more. I love seeing both the familiar faces year after year as well as the inquisitive first time visitors! I like the country style and source as many supplies as I can locally but do buy a few special pieces to use with my creations from America.

Although there are never enough hours in the day, I always find I get into my own little world when sewing and simply love what I do!
