Heidi Alexander has found a hidden surprise in her Christmas decorations.
While decorating her real Christmas tree, which has grown remarkably over two years, the Swindon MP and government minister discovered some unopened stars she had purchased at The Hop Inn shop local events from local ceramist, Lisa Lowe.
Lowe started the venture, Ooh Lovely Lilo Ceramics, by converting a backyard shed into a workshop.
Celebrating a decade in the business, Lisa fabricates an array of ceramic items, finding pleasure in the endless possibilities offered by clay work.
She claimed the business name originated from customers' appreciative reactions.
Though reliant on social media since the pandemic stifled operations and cancelled in-person events, Lisa's enterprise maintains its momentum.
Her loyal clientele and loved ones have provided substantial support during these challenging times, especially after the cancellation of a Christmas fair due to space constraints.
