All of our stationery is made by myself to a high standard, using only the best quality materials. I can make any style of invitation, such as pocketfolds, cheque books, laser-cut, or flat invitations. All my designs can be made in the colour and specification of your choice. I can also work with you to create stationery that is completely individual to you. “If you’re local to Carmarthen, feel free to book a free consultation with me. This will be a valuable and exciting experience as we can sit down and discuss your ideas and requirements on a one-to-one basis and look at a great choice of cardstocks, papers, diamantes, ribbons and invitation styles.” WOODEN GOLD 07519 755 670 | www.woodengold.co.uk Wooden Gold is a small family business located in Rhondda Valley that sells handmade jewellery globally. Stephen Cichocki, the owner of Wooden Gold, tells us: “When I make my pieces, I draw my influence from the beauty of nature and ancient Celtic history. I have created most of my designs by using the sand-casting method, which is the oldest metalpouring technique known to man. It involves creating a mould out of sand that is then filled with liquid metal; the result is a piece that holds an organic grain and a unique ring. I even get customers sending me sand from all around the world to cast their wedding rings in, from Iceland to Disneyland! “My work is made from 100 per cent recycled and professionally refined precious metals, making my work ethical as well as beautiful. I do not have a shop; rather, I have a functioning workshop where I make all my pieces that I sell on my website. However, I do offer consultations and sizing by appointment so that people can come and see where and how their rings will be made.” ANDREA’S CLOSET MILLINERY andreaclosetcardiff@gmail.com | www.andreasclosetmillinery.com Founded in 2018 by Andrea Carrillo, Andrea’s Closet Millinery is a trendy and sophisticated fashion company that specialises in head accessories, including berets and hats.
