About me and my shop

About me and my shop

I thought I would take the opportunity to tell you all a little bit about myself and how I started my shop.  Back in 2018, I found myself in a very stressful job with little rewards whilst my son was struggling at home.  To help me cope, I started doing what I loved as a little girl, which was crafting.  In 2019, an opportunity arose allowing me to leave the 9-5 job behind and spend more time with my family.  I started to craft more and more and was getting more and more frustrated at the lack of quality craft supplies in Ireland at affordable prices and I was sourcing a lot in UK and rest of Europe/World for myself.  After Brexit became a reality, I saw an opportunity to start importing quality supplies into Ireland.  I sometimes spend weeks and months finding the best quality supplies and negotiating the best deals with worldwide suppliers. My ethos from the start has always been to provide great material at reasonable prices.  I only sell items I would gladly use myself in my own crafts.  Since 2020 my little business has been growing steadily and I hope to be able to continue to expand to bring even more supplies into the country.  I am always open to suggestions and would love for all of you to let me know what craft supplies you think are missing in Ireland.  I will always do my best to help you source it if I believe there is a market for it here.  Since leaving my job, I have been so much happier, building my own business whilst also having plenty of time to spend with my family.  I just love seeing my son coming home from school with a smile on his face !  Please visit my shop  (https://sii.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/store/handmade-crafts-by-nicole/)to see what is already available.  I have big plans for 2022 onwards, so keep an eye on my shop and on the Shop in Ireland Facebook group too.  Thank you so much for all of you who have already purchased of me this year and hoping to serve even more of you in the future.

Craft Outlet Ireland

Ambassador

WELCOME TO CRAFT OUTLET IRELAND The place for quality craft supplies at affordable prices and a selection of handmade goods too I spend weeks and months sourcing the highest quality craft materials to bring to Ireland at affordable prices.  Quality and great service are the core of my business. Most items are ready to ship but I do occasionally run pre-order or buy in campaigns.  If the latter is the case, this will be clearly stated in my product descriptions, including an expected delivery date. For my handmade items, lead time is typically 1-3 weeks and small differences are to be expected as each item will be 100% handmade.   All personalised items are non-refundable.

Uhooooo I'm Jojo from Creations4U. I create fun personalised gifts, for you, your family, your kids teacher, your granny and even your dog!     This all started when I had too much pandemic down time and my creativity just bubbled over. Continuously making items for friends and family as a graphic designer I had the skills and the know how to create these fun quirky personalised gifts, everyone was loving them and constantly telling me you should sell them, they're fab!  So for once I took their advice and did just that.   Starting with one or two personalised frames and look at me now, my side hussle is my day job and I love it. So lucky to be able to be part of peoples celebrations, it feels like a privilege. I'm always on the lookout for a fun new gift idea or tagline, so be careful if we're chatting....you could end up as my next product!     All my items are created by me, printed or made by me, packed by me and brought to the delivery depot....by me, I really am a one girl band so by supporting a small business like me you let one Dublin girl now living in Wicklow (yes I followed the fella!) live out her dream of being her own boss and creating lovely things.
