Lovely cat tray - we’ve had the National Trust Cats in Trust coasters for years so I was pleased to get the matching tray! A few small chips and black marks on the corners which I hadn’t expected considering the price, but overall very happy 😊

Welcome to my colourful, crafty corner of the internet!

Hi! I'm Laura, aka Lupin, I love making stuff and I want to share that joy with you.

I opened my Etsy shop way back in 2006 and have been selling my work here ever since. I've been Etsy's Featured Seller and shipped my handmade designs and lots of craft supplies to wonderful customers all around the world... but now I'm focusing on sharing printable PDF patterns.

I love working with felt and simple embroidery to create colourful crafty goodness, and I've got lots of new patterns coming soon.

For updates on what I'm working on and/or a monthly free pattern, head to my blog bugsandfishes.com to sign up to my newsletter!

I recommend reading Etsy's own privacy policy to see how they handle your data when you browse and shop here on Etsy.

Data collected when you make a purchase from my shop:

If you make a purchase from my shop (lupin.etsy.com) I collect information (provided by you) in order to be able to complete that transaction: e.g. your name, email address, postal address, etc. I also use this data to keep necessary records for my business. My legal basis for processing this data is legitimate interests.

I recommend reading Etsy's privacy policy for more information on how they collect and use your data, and their use of cookies.

Etsy shares some of this information with me in aggregate, so I can get an overview of how much traffic my shop is getting, which pages or items are most popular, etc, so I can better manage my shop and my business as a whole. My legal basis for processing this data is legitimate interests.

I will use this information to reply to your message(s) and to provide you with good customer service. My legal basis for processing this data is legitimate interests.
