As the year comes to a close, Id like to say a heartfelt thank you for your continued support.

I’ve come close to closing up shop a couple times this year, then I’m reminded why I started branched out. So Thank you all again and hope you all have a merry Xmas and happy new year

2 belt orders come through on Etsy whilst I was on duty yesterday. Both made and packaged by 9am though today’s isn’t quite to either end of the country is either side of the world, ones off to Australia 🇦🇺

Yesterday saw the delivery of another branch to join the queue to be turned into a lamp, it dating from 1938 and has king George VI cypher on.

Time for a coffee ☕️

The 105yr old Pyrene fire extinguisher lamp has been completed.

As a glutton for punishment I got an eBay find clean up copper and brass branch and turn into a lamp, the coupling will clean up and will either become candle stick holder, pen pot or a paper weight as it weights a shade under 2 kilos

Does any one know of a better selling platform other than Etsy. I sell my belts on there and the fees aren’t too bad as it’s a percentage of the sale, so I poped a lamp which sold last night by the time they took the fees off and I’ve some how got whacked with a fee for a offsite add on google which come to over £30 which wasn’t expected l, and ended up making a loss 🤯. I got an eBay page but it doesn’t pick many sales, up 3 this year!

After getting back from the Xmas Market I took a squint on fb marketplace and ive ended up with a Pyrene fire extinguisher and bracket dating from 1920
And a had a delivery of a aluminium a type branch, dated 1953 which I can only guess came from a green goddess fire appliance as the queens markings are on it. The godesses were made between 1953 and 1953.
