Ordering Early
With this being only my second Christmas with Two Green Lane, I still sometimes think more as a customer than a business owner when it comes to Christmas. If I Continue Reading
Discovering the world of online marketplaces
Running a personalised business, I have to plan ahead with Christmas and order cut off times are a lot sooner than if I sold pre-made items. As a result I was looking on one of the Kent Trader forums on Facebook for inspiration for Christmas events and saw an advert for an online market… Continue Reading
Why I started Two Green Lane
When I launched my business I was very diligent in writing a blog once a week. I then changed the frequency to every 2 weeks and unsurprisingly it has now been a few months since I wrote a few words. Call it a mid-year resolution, but I Continue Reading
Having fun with March Meet The Maker
If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen lots of activity in March. I took part in March Meet the Maker by Joanne Hawker. She set a challenge where everyday had a theme and you had to post a photo related to that theme. The idea of this was for my current followers… Continue Reading
Helping People Say Goodbye
We have written before about how over time we have learnt that what we make is more than a piece of jewellery to many people. It can capture moments, memories and can tell a story. It can also have an important role in helping people say goodbye. When we launched last year, we immediately had… Continue Reading
His and Hers
Before Christmas we were approached to produce a double order for a husband and wife. They wanted his and hers identical charms featuring the handprint of their little girl.

Often these businesses are a one man band and sometimes they have a few employees. But the most important things is that they are small and not a… Continue Reading
A Weekend by the Sea
After the previous weekend being part of the Wealden Times Midwinter Fair with over 200 stall holders and grand elaborate stands, this weekend we experienced a very different craft fair. We packed up our jewellery and headed down to Rye Harbour for a weekend by the sea. Every year, Avocet Gallery in Rye Harbour put… Continue Reading
Our First Craft Fair
It finally arrived, our first craft fair. And what a way to start, with the Wealden Times Midwinter Fair. I have plenty of experience in trade shows so felt fairly prepared, even if the experience was in beer trade shows. However, the first learning was that they are very different. We spent a lot… Continue Reading
The big build up
So far the only way we have communicated with all our wonderful customers has been digitally via Facebook, Instagram, email and our website. Being a company that prides itself on the personal touch we felt it was time to get out and about and meet some of you. We are very excited to say that… Continue Reading
Taking your precious fingerprints
Last week we busted the myth that taking hand, foot and fingerprints was difficult. This week, we Continue Reading
Taking your precious hand, foot and paw prints
One of the questions we get asked most here at Two Green Lane is how we get your precious hand, foot, finger and paw prints. Sometimes people get nervous about ordering online as they don Continue Reading
