Based in pontefract for 7 years now, following years of traveling up and down the uk doing lots of craft shows.We rented a small unit mainly to store our stock and space to do mail order, Shortly after we did two shows at Harrogate ( Yorkshire show ground ) and asked many times do you have a shop?, Which we replied no but we have a unit in pontefract and if you don't mind looking through boxes on the floor your welcome to come, but don't come till 1st of May.
Well the first of May came, and me and joe was putting bets on how many will come, one two, we laughed. Well half hour past not a sole then one two and by the end of the we were shocked how many had turned up.So that was it we laid a carpet, got some tables, no expense spare at least a tenner.
So over 7 years we expanded from that first unit to 3 large showrooms covering 5,000 sq feet, a manufacturing unit as we make our own die cuts and cards, the tear drop and tag cards being two of them, and two units we use for storage for lots of card making goodies
We stock mainly card making supplies, 1000' s of punches sizzix dies probably the biggest collection you'll see in one place, and as we only do card making, we don't waste space on picture frames flowers baskets etc.
Now the bad bits we are open 7 days a week, when its cold out side its 10c colder in side, So if you see lots of ladies with fur hats gloves and boots then they're probably going to craftzone.
