About us
Hello to all my lovely
customers current and new.
My Name is Emma and I'm 31 years of age.
I'm very lucky to live in a beautiful part of the
world called the Teifi Valley in Ceredigion, Mid Wales.
My 3 year old son and myself live with my partner on
his Stud Farm.
I have always loved the
countryside and taken part in many country pursuits with my main passion being
horseriding.
After I finished my schooling I attended Hartpury
College in Gloucestershire where I studied Equitation.
Having left college and realising mucking out for a
living would never pay it's way I decided to go in to full time employment.
I worked for an animal
feed distributor and horseware supplier for many years which I thoroughly
enjoyed.
I then decided it was time to move on and gained a
management roll for a huge company, this time in fashion clothing.
This roll gave me good grounding for the beginning of
my self employment and a new business of my own.
A friend of mine who has
been shooting for fifty years gave me some cartridges and feathers.
I'd always enjoyed making things whether it be from
buttons, scraps of material, knitting or wood, I'd always have a go and produce
something at the end of it.
So here I was with some cartridges and feathers, I put
my creative mind into action.
I produced him a bow tie and some cufflinks.
He was over the moon, he showed his friends who in
turn immediately ordered some and so Gwenllan Country Crafts was born!!!
I now have a vast range that is all handmade by myself, many of my ideas are completely original and you won't find them on the market anywhere else.
Please enjoy shopping with me and don't hesitate to contact me if there is anything I can help with.
