Craft shop opens

Craft makers on the Peninsula have a new source of materials with the recent opening of Marie's Creative Concepts on Ocean View Rd, Ettalong Beach.

Proprietor Ms Marie Holland said she had realised a long-held dream by opening her own craft shop.

"It's something that I've always wanted to do," Ms Holland said.

The outlet carries sewing, embroidery and patchwork supplies.

It also has locally-made items such as mosaics, cards, embroidery, jewellery, custom made bags, velvet flowers and decorated eggs.

Tuition in sewing, embroidery, knitting, patchwork and crochet will start in January and bookings are being taken now.

Marie's Creative Concepts trades from Tuesday to Sunday each week.
