Arty, Vintage & Retro Crafts for You & Your Home

London, United Kingdom

Announcement    Welcome to my shop of my original art and craft. This shop has been neglected somewhat the last few years, but as of March 2021, I've added some new listings, with free UK shipping and discounted EU postage, too.

Here at leslieworkswonders you will find arty, retro, nostalgic and sometimes quirky original handmade art and crafts for you and your home, all made with love and care! Most items are one-offs, so might never be seen again.

I really am happiest when I am making things. While I love working with paper and textiles, I also enjoy giving new life to old and unloved materials and objects, so many of my items are eco-friendly, using cleaned and repurposed, preloved and vintage materials.

I've been immersed in creativity all my life. My time is spent juggling between family, creating, and collecting, and selling my art, crafts and vintage fashion and collectibles. Please visit my sister shop, HoboCameo shop here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/HoboCameo, for my eclectic 20th Century finds and funky hand mades.

I hope you enjoy your visit here. It is my pleasure and my aim to give you a wonderful shopping experience!

Shop policies

Last updated on May 10, 2022
Welcome to © leslieworks haberdashery of eclectic and unique handmade wares. I love combining old and new objects and materials. Call it recycling, upcycling, revamping, or repurposing. Whatever it is, it comes naturally to me, as I am concerned with conserving resources, but also with giving new life and purpose to old things. It is all part of the creative process I love so much.

I have many ideas, and am always working on new ones. If you missed something you saw in the past, please let me know, and I'll do my best to make you one. I am a perfectionist by nature, take pride in my work and hope you find my work thoughtfully and well made.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Please leave a review, when Etsy allows, if you have a moment and are happy with your purchase!

Shipping

I will ship worldwide on most items. I aim to provide the most economical, but also quickest and safest mode of delivery. I often parcel up and purchase postage online within a day of receiving your order. I always receive proof of posting for items up to value of £20, and extra cover for everything else.

Please ensure your address is up to date as I can't be held responsible after shipping your item, if it is incorrect and the order gets lost, or needs to be reshipped. Buyer will be responsible for any costs incurred if address is not up to date.

Weights of items in listings are before packing. I only charge a minimum for P&P based on requirements, to keep the price low for the buyer. Usually .80p-£1.50 is added to postage cost for packaging, depending on size and fragility. I use recycled/pre-used packaging whenever possible.

Combined postage is automatically calculated when purchasing more than one item. In the event the estimated cost turns out to be more than actual P&P, I will refund the difference.

I tend to use:

Royal Mail 1st class for letter and large letter sizes, 2nd class for small parcels up to 2k and medium parcels 2-5k.

Hermes for medium size parcels 1-2k.

Where extra cover or signature is required, courier might vary weighing up amount of cover with delivery speed, and whether tracking is needed or not.

If you have a query about your order delivery method, PLEASE CONTACT ME. If you wish an order to be sent with tracking or more quickly, get in touch before purchasing, and I will adjust the listing. I am also happy to give you a personal postal quote for multiple items you may wish to purchase.

Any import customs or taxes imposed upon delivery are the buyer's responsibility.

Please be aware that delivery times/targets are based on those stated by the postal services I use, and I am not responsible for delays caused after I have posted the item. My dispatch policy is 1-3 days, and after that the delivery time is down to the courier. Most of the time, deliveries happen when they are supposed to. If you want to ensure a set delivery date, please request an upgrade, ie Special Delivery, before purchasing. Even then, delays can occur! Specially for oversees orders, where customs are involved. Please be patient.

I want you to be a happy customer, and I will do my utmost to provide a friendly, speedy and quality shopping experience!
