"Seeking out the people who create the unusual, the inspired and just plain ‘out there’. That’s what notonthehighstreet.com is all about."
I have made a brand new discovery just by using Google to search for doorstops (Which still proves to be rather futile in South Africa). After Etsy, this is now my favourite online hangout. This online shop was found by Tucker and Sophie Cornish, in 2006, they aimed to create a place where one could find charming, unique and carefully-made things that you just might stumble on by chance. Everything sold on the site is designed, made or selected by an independent small business. The shop is UK based and all their prices are reflected in GBP whereas Etsy is in USD.
In future, I will aim to provide you with more of my finds on this site, but I discovered the following shop that offers great wedding gifting and ideas, called Letterfest. A really special and unique gift idea is the following personalised sketches of the newly wed couples' first house or alternatively their wedding venue. You simply send them a picture and they send you back a piece of art! (unfortunately only for UK delivery though, an ideal chance to get to know someone there!)
