"I've been doing arts and crafts since I was a kid. I would make my own Christmas cards and I was always drawing," explains Charlotte, who lives in Madeley. "That's when I started making positivity-inspired items because people wanted cheering up and it brought a little bit of happiness to them." Always by her side is her cocker spaniel Sully, who also accompanies her on the days she is working in the shop and has proven a huge hit with customers.Charlotte's business has also received a boost from retail entrepreneur and Dragons’ Den star Theo Paphitis, who likes to champion entrepreneurs.
"I won during a Small Business Sunday in 2020 but this was the first event I was able to attend because of Covid and moving house," she says.“It’s fantastic to be recognised for all the hard work that goes into the running my handmade business. It was great to meet Theo and attend the event to meet so many like-minded small business owners it has given me and my small business such a great motivational boost," says Charlotte.
