I'm sorry for the long time between posts, but I've have been busy designing new things and looking after my 2 year old boy so thing have been hectic.
I have just started an online store for my leaf drop sets.
I will be adding more things as I go along so feel free to email me if there is anything you are interested in and I can pop it up online for sale.
