Meet Jo, creator of Brownfish Designs. Fairly local to Holmfirth, living In Stocksbridge, she has always had a love for craft, art and design.

Jo loves to find unwanted treasure (or scrap metal!) and make her products from this. Consequently, no jewellery is ever the same. Due to her creativity her products are always changing so follow her on her social media channels to see any new creations!

All items are carefully packaged for delivery.

Meet Grace and Huw, their story began whilst on a dream holiday in Canada. They fell in love with the natural beauty of the Canadian Rockies – the sights, the smells and the outdoor culture. Believing that smell can transport you to a particular memory or experience – a certain time and place, the Holme Valley Hygge seed was planted.

Pronounced “hoo-ga,” Hygge is a Danish concept; it cannot be translated to one single word but encompasses a feeling of cosy contentment and well-being through enjoying the simple things in life. How Hygge is found, is personal to everyone. For one person it may be relaxing on the sofa in your PJs in front of the fire with a warm cup of tea and your favourite book. For someone else it may be peacefully swinging in a hammock in an alpine forest beside a lake, listening to the morning chorus. There is no right or wrong way to find your hygge moment.

Grace and Huw are offering a variety of ways to help you find Hygge with their candles, small gifts and wax melts in a variety of scents including Christmas scents and more unusual ones such as twilight bonfire.

Logimalz was established by Jack, when he was 12 years old, now just 14! At the age of 8 he was introduced to creating “animals” from pieces of wood and made a giraffe whilst visiting a National Trust property.

18 months ago, whilst moving some wood from one area of the house to another, he found his old giraffe. From here, Logimalz was created (……..animals made out of logs!) His next animal project was a pig, featured across.

Last year, Jack worked alongside his friend and co-worker Lucy, but unfortunately, they are not able to “work” together at these times.

Jack no longer just creates animals, he branched out (ignore the pun!) into the Christmas market last year. You may spot many of his reindeers around Upperthong, where they sold out at the Upperthong Christmas Fayre last year!.

Jack can be contacted by messaging him on the social media accounts below and follow him for his latest creations!

Another seamstress in Upperthong….. but making different products – cushions. Sarah appreciates that there are too many beautiful materials in the world, as a musician, she wanted something to do to fill her time at the moment.

She started her project around 9 weeks ago; she wanted to be creative whilst spending some time with her dad – who taught her how to sew!

The “small project” has grown and she has now made over 100 cushions with lots of very happy customers. Sarah has also recently bought some lovely festive fabrics, so grab yourself a Christmas cushion or two to help decorate your house over the festive season.

More images of Sarah’s cushions can be found on her Instagram account below, drop her a message, she is very responsive!

Sarah is one of our local residents of Upperthong. She started off making bunting & pretty things for all occasions – wedding commissions, birthday celebrations or for everyday enjoyment.

Recently her sewing machine has been hot from making face coverings (100% cotton), but did you know that she also makes children’s aprons, cards and small animal snuggle cubes!

Sarah will also make bespoke items if requested. In the past she has made bunting for weddings, with matching aprons for bridesmaids and ‘make your own’ bunting kits for bored bridesmaids.

She is also able to upcycle keepsakes such as making memory cushions from fabric or sentimental clothing brought to her.
