New gift shop opens in Creedy Centre

ARTISTS and crafters from the local area have been invited to sell their creations at a new shop in Crediton, which will officially open tomorrow (Saturday March 19), from 10am.

At Creedy Crafts & Gifts you will find a selection of cushions, pictures, fashion accessories, mugs, notebooks, pretty hearts, bunting and so much more.

There is also a selection of upcycled items, handmade greetings cards and wall-mounted wreaths.

To celebrate its opening, there will be free cupcakes.

The idea for the shop came from The Kirton Clothing Company owner, Sarah Luxton, who, over the last year, has been attending various "Vintage & Handmade" fairs in the South West.

Sarah recently opened a clothes shop upstairs in the Creedy Centre and wanted to make use of the smaller room beside it, so the gift shop idea was born.

It will give local artists and crafters a place to display and sell their creations.

Sarah also stocks a lovely range of locally made jewellery in the clothes shop and is about to start selling popular "Saltrock" clothing for ladies, and eventually for men as well.

Although the gift shop is now full, Sarah is happy to hear from other local artists and crafters, in case more room becomes available.

Enquiries can be emailed to [email protected] or call 01363 899301.

You can see a selection of the items for sale on the Facebook page: www.facebook.com/CreedyCraftsandGifts .
