So films are my passion. I was so happy when I found Britishmade because they cater to the films, and television programs, that tend to be overlooked and forgotten when it comes to fan art, cult film merchandise and general Geekery. I'm talking about those films most have forgotten and many just don't get. On the ultra plus side they will also make any custom piece you desire. Yay!!
I bought this beautifully made cup.

I know you are thinking a cup is just a cup. Well no it isn't because you can, and I have in the past had ones arrive chipped, with the picture peeling or fading, and worst of all on one the handle broke off when it arrived!!
Secondly I love having my geeky mugs. There is just something cool in having stuff like this around my house.
As usual I'm probably giving a little away about myself again.
I would love to have tease on my wall:

If you have not watched any of these yet then I honestly don't know what you are doing with your life. 
Go watch them, love them, then visit britishindie and but all the cool shiz.
If you have already watched them and have been wondering where to buy all this stuff for years then go visit their Etsy shop:

From Brocobelle I bought a beautiful fed flower broach.

Karen makes many similar pieces but I know that I am the only person who owned this one. Something unique to me which is one of the true highlights of buying handmade. I also love that this piece is made from upcycled vintage material. So already we have upcycled, vintage, and unique. On top of all this the work and detail put into the broach is amazing. I put it on my bag that I use every day because the material is so soft and I like the feel of it when my fingers go numb in winter. 

The owner is a great lady, easy to talk to and even gave me some great hints and tips. One of those people who makes a difference in your life even if you just talk to them briefly.

In future I would like to buy this:

I already know the quality will be great. It looks so delicate and intricately designed.

She isn't as scary as the name suggests I promise. She is lovely.

I bought this amazing little felted heart decoration for my tree from her shop.

https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/162756388/needle-felted-christmas-heart-decoration

Very soft and beautifully made. I put it on my tree strait away. I love my Christmas to feel like Christmas and to me that means having handmade, high quality, unique decorations, not mass produced boxes of plastic baubles. It may be just me but Items like this really make a home warmer and a Christmas special. 

The shop owner even went out of her way to talk to me throughout the buying process which made me feel much more important than at a high street store.

I am definitely keeping my eye on her line of felted teddies.

I know they are going to be selling fast at that price. Beautiful products always get snapped up quickly :-)

Go visit her shop and take a look at all she has to offer.

Ok so anyone who knows me knows I love Doctor Who and so does my Boyfriend Mark. When I saw these I had to have them.

They were £9.50 which is great value considering how well they are made. Not flimsy like allot of others and they have a real hand made feel. Not that I have anything against button magnets, my fridge is covered with them, but my new Doctor who magnets just feel stronger and look a little better, mainly because of the glossy bubble covering. Part of me is jealous and wants to know how she makes them so that I can make them but that would take away the magic that they hold.

The owner is lovely too which is always important when buying handmade. 

I know exactly what I want from her next time too.

It is so subtly Gothic which is key in creating any alternative image for yourself. Look forward to seeing more from her hear in future, unless you go and buy my necklace before I get to it
