Welcome to the festive wonderland that is the holiday season! As a self-employed jeweller and a lover of all things handmade, I know the magic that can be found at local Christmas fairs. So, grab a cup of your favourite hot drink, cosy up, and let me tell you why supporting local businesses during the holidays is the best gift you can give, not only to your loved ones but also to your community.
