Thirteen Furniture & Crafts Co.

I’m really excited to share that I’ll be having a stand at this years CRAFTERAMA in Bolton ✨

I can’t take the whole shop and I’m really worried that I might not have a big enough stall now.

But…

I’ll mainly be showcasing Iron Orchid Designs moulds, stamps and transfers.

Also taking along a selection of Annie Sloan Chalk Paints and Guild Lane Jubilee and GILD.

And a variety of Pentart products, clays and resins etc.

Will you be going? I’d love to see you there!

Hi everyone,

Jen here!

Some of you have followed my journey for a long time and some of you may be newer here so I thought I’d share a little update.

It’s now been 9 years since I started Thirteen, and my business has grown and evolved so much along the way.

Over the last year or so, I’ve been focusing more on paint and upcycling supplies, which has meant less time for furniture, workshops and the shop itself.

At the beginning of this year, I took a step back to properly assess things and make a plan for the future. It’s all moving a little slower than I expected (mainly because I’ve been so busy!), but I’m continuing to tweak, grow and work on some really exciting ideas behind the scenes.

I’m slowly adding more craft supplies to both the shop and the website, and I’d love to know…

✨What crafty goodies would you like to see me stock? ✨

Paper crafts? An upcycling brand I don’t have? Something else?!

I’ve got some new products lined up, plus a few things already here that haven’t even seen the light of day yet!

Lots happening behind the scenes, so watch this space 🖤

IOD TRANSFERS

Never used them before? Here’s what you need to know!

The transfers come in a pad with several pages. You can cut out the different elements to create your own designs. Use them on furniture, home decor or other craft projects.

Applying them is easy.

🖤Choose your transfers and put them on your piece
🖤Once you are happy with their position remove the backing
🖤Use the plastic tool provided to rub the transfer on to the surface
🖤Seal with your fave top coat

That’s it! The easiest way to put a design on your furniture without hand painting.

The transfer pictured is BELGRAVIA from the Summer Release 2026. Isn’t it sweet?! 🖤

I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine ☀️

After a busy few weeks I’m enjoying a little break.

Managed to paint a couple of tables for myself though!

Hi everyone,

I’m working on bringing some lovely new things to the shop.

These beautiful Folk Art felt sewing kits are wonderful for a weekend project and perfect for pressies for a creative friend.

Available now on my website and from the shop.

You can order online for posting or collection or pop in for a browse 🌸

There’s nothing I love more than sitting down with my knitting at the end of a busy week 🧶

A little quiet time and a project on the needles helps me to recharge!

What’s your favourite craft or creative hobby to relax with? 🖤
