Your name: Suzanne Lake
Shop name: Suzanne Lake – made from my heart (I used to be “Handmade from the Heart" – but changed it last year as people kept asking me at fairs if I actually make all of this stuff? Lol)
Describe the items you make in 3 words: rustic, wooden home decorations and gifts (oopps that's too many words!)
How long have you been selling on Folksy: I think 3 or 4 years
On average, how many items do you make in a week: It varies some weeks I go crazy and make tonnes – about 30-50 items. And then other weeks it can just be a few. I love creating new things and love making bespoke items for customers the most. As that's when something usually surprises you.

Suzanne says this about her heart gift cards (third pic above): I’m not really a card person, but I like to give gifts to special people in my life, and ultimately cards end up in the bin or a drawer where as if you give one of these, the receiver has something to remember you by hanging around their house. I give them to friends for thanks when watering my plants whilst I’m away, A little extra something for that someone special at Christmas when you don’t want to get a gift but “something”...on and on...they really are my fav thing to make.
