"Finally made the trip to @cleathercrafts. Ive been meaning to visit since i chanced upon it on Instagram, because of the smart algorithm. Turns out she’s a friend of a friend @global.village.market
Located at the peripheral of the quaint Holland Village Market and Food Centre, the first time i showed up, it was closed — open Wednesday - Friday; half a day on Saturday and Sunday.
My favourite daughter picked out a cable tie, one i eyed but only spent on my little knucklehead because shes way more decisive than i am. She had it custom plain with no print or design. There’s one in the shop with a line of frogs 🐸 painted on. Very cute. It has a cable head slot on one side and opens into a cloud.
Christine, the craftswoman behind Cleathercrafts is super cool. If you follow her, you'd know. She refurbishes furniture, paints, draws, designs, sews, make leather goods and she was a game artist in her past life. Maddddd coooollll.
I love how small businesses spice up the shopping scene, adding colour, flavour and oomph. I hope the government regulates rent always so small businesses can afford to stay open and ideally thrive. This way, the common man dream has a chance of staying alive and younger dreams can be fuelled by hope. After all, hope is what keeps us going. To small businesses 👊"
