'Crafty' friends open Kirkby shop for handmade jewellery and homemade products

Two friends have amalgamated their small businesses and opened a shop in Kirkby, selling handmade jewellery and homemade products – and here is a first look inside.

Unique Mizzle on Low Moor Road, Kirkby, will primarily we will be selling wax melts, home & body fragrances, handmade jewellery and gifts.

Judith Drew, who runs the business with her friend, Alyson Philbin, said: “We are very excited about this joint venture.

“We would like to bring some life back into a shop that has been empty for quite a while.”

Judith and Alyson decided to “join forces” and run a central shop devoted to handmade gifting for all seasons.

Along with hand-crafted items by Judith and Alyson, the shop has facilities for other crafters to rent a shelf for £25 per month.

Crafters do not need to make jewellery or wax melts – “just anything rustic and handmade,” Judith added.
