Each month on the Sew Belle blog, I take the time to share some wonderful makers, creatives and small businesses. This month I'm sharing three wonderful women-owned businesses from across the UK and Ireland. 
And Hope Designs
I first met Anna when she photographed my sisters wedding back in 2017, and it's been such a joy to follow her creative journey since then. Anna creates beautiful cards, stationery, and homeware, often featuring her beautiful watercolour illustrations. Anna's designs are elegant, fun and classic, including a wonderful range of faith-based products.

A Book of Petals
Jess and I connected on instagram last year, and I'm so blessed to call her a small business friend. Jess creates such beautiful wreaths and bouquets using dried flowers. I have one of her wreaths on the wall by my sewing machine and it brings me so much joy. Jess often uses her own homegrown flowers in her wreaths, meaning that her pieces are carefully created from seed to the final product.

Moonshine Candle Co.
I was fortunate to get to know Catherine through taking part in Impact30 together with Highlands and Islands Enterprise. Based on Orkney, Catherine creates candles that help to create a sense of calm and wonder, often reflecting the surroundings of her island home. Catherine's attention to detail in both her products and her packaging means that they are the perfect item for gifting, whether for yourself or for others.
