Made in Bedford at Number 13 in Bedford, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom

Thank you And finally massive thank you to Rachel of Made in Bedford at Number 13 who handpicked each of the artists and makers who sell in her cafe at No13. She is a huge supporter in Bedford of local artists and makers and every year puts on 2 fabulous Made In Bedford Artisan fairs in the Spring and at Christmas, at the Corn Exchange and can also be found at the River Festival. Promoting all the talent this area has to offer! Always a great success and a date for the diary.... This year due to the obvious restrictions the event will be much smaller and held outdoors at Bedford Market, St Paul’s Square, on 13th December 10am-3.30pm Thank you to @katielallen for the festive poster! I will be there selling any last minute Christmas cards and these festive thank you cards. Stock up now and keep the kids busy in January! If you have enjoyed my work please take a look over @sarahpateluk to see more! Meanwhile Rachel will be re-opening the cafe on Wednesday 2nd December through to Saturday at the times of 9:30- 4:30pm Not only can you stop by for a vegan hot meal, served inside, but you will be able to browse the shelves, full with many of the items you have seen on here throughout the month of November! Have a lovely Christmas from all of us at Made in Bedford! #christmasfair #artisanfair #christmas2020 #supportlocal #shopsmall #shoplocal

Set design An unglamorous look into the ‘behind the scenes’ of my photography! I do not have my own dedicated studio, but once everyone has left the house I clear some space at the table and can spread out for a few hours! Photographing my work can take time depending on the daylight but I have a huge box of props which I turn to embellish my images and give a flavour of an event or occasion!... #photography #behindthescenes #boxofprops

Commissions I often get asked to do something a little different for a client. Whether its a illustrated personalised print, turning my images into stickers for a child’s bedroom or a complete set of wedding stationery for an Indian wedding! I also love to produce personalised items that can tell a story, reflect a person or mark an occasion. Every project is different and I love bringing the customers ideas to life!... Please contact me directly if you would like to discuss an idea Also please be aware production and print timings may become tricky as we get closer to Christmas, but please ask if unsure! #personalisedgifts #bespokestationery See more

Eco-friendly I am mindful of the materials I source and the effect it has on the planet, being environmentally sustainable where possible. My stationery is printed to premium quality onto FSC certified 300gsm textured white card. Each card is cut by hand and stamped with my personalised ink stamp. My A6 greetings cards come with an eco-friendly brightly coloured envelope, made from eucalyptus fibres from sustainable forests.... To minimise wasteful packaging, the cards are wrapped in a protective biodegradable and compostable film bag with 100% recycled labels. #plasticfree #nosingleuseplastic #sustainable #ecofriendly #ecopackaging #compostable
