Merry-Go-Round Handmade for New & Vintage, Retro Craft Items..
"FOR NOW....I AM NOT SENDING ITEMS TO THE USA DUE TO TARRIFS.
USA GOVERNMENT WILL NOT ALLOW ETSY TO COLLECT THE TARRIF TAX FROM BUYERS IN THE USA.
AT THIS STAGE, THE USA GOVERNMENT EXPECT BUYERS FROM THE USA TO PAY TAX ON DELIVERY.
THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR ETSY SELLERS, IT ALSO DOES NOT WORK FOR AMERICAN BUYERS, HENCE I WON'T BE SELLING TO THE USA IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BASICALLY UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS FIXED.
THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

I was wanting to do something creative after my first child was born.
I always crafted as a child…. it always was going to be a natural progression.
I am a stay at home mum of two lovely little girls but was previously a graphic designer working for a marketing company in Melbourne, Australia.
Merry-Go-Round evokes feelings of a playground, also fun & laughter but for me it also means…a ‘rotating platform’ (so to speak) of quality handmade items that are displayed for sale. I like to upcycle products to create a ‘new’, eco friendly item, I guess this rotation process of the discarded item that is made into something 'useful & appreciated' - forms the ‘merry-go-round’ cycle.
Handmade just simply describes what I do.
I LOVE to use colour! I dream in colour so why not work with it! Also I love fabric, buttons, ribbons & wonderful vintage crafty finds!
Many of my items are New, Retro or Vintage.
I try to upcycle/recycle/repurpose where I can to create an unique item – usually One Of A Kind. OOAK.
Please add my shop to your favourites!
Handmade for me is my personal expression & self satisfaction of a signature style.
Handmade items have ‘heart’. When you give a friend or a loved one a handmade gift, you are saying ‘I have thought and I care about you’.
I believe 'Creativity takes Courage & Success takes Time'
also ‘Life is a Journey, Not a Destination’.
