Christine Layton Furniture

Christine Layton Furniture I make fine, bespoke furniture from hardwoods and exotic veneers. I also make small pieces to sell at craft fayres. I've been a cabinet maker for 10 years.

As there
aren't any now I'm posting pictures of my handmade things hoping I might be able to sell things that way. I make fine, bespoke furniture in my small workshop at my home. I take a great deal of care with everything I make and love my job. Recently I have become the main carer for my elderly mother. This takes up quite a lot of my time and means I am not really able to take on furniture mak

ing projects unless my clients are happy to accept that I may not be able to promise how long a project will take. So, I have started to make small pieces to sell at local craft fairs and shows. Due to Covid-19 there have not been any of these since March 2020. I am therefore posting pictures of my products on Instagram and Facebook and hope that I might be able to sell things that way.

I've just got home and had a shower after completing the London Winter 10k run for Cancer Research. My time: 1hr 14mins. I'm pleased with that especially as I'm just recovering from plantar fasciitis and I haven't run any further than 5k since October. It was a great experience. I'm so pleased I have joined the Faversham Beginners to Runners running club. They are a fabulous group.
Here are a few highlights of the day.

This is hilarious. I'm slightly embarrassed to say that there is going to be a short article about me in the next Furniture and Cabinetmaking magazine. Chris, my husband had to take some pictures of me so we could send one to accompany the article. This is what Google has done with them 🤣🤣

I've been busy making pen boxes for a silversmith. He has made 4 beautiful silver fountain pens for his 4 grandchildren and I was commissioned to make the presentation boxes.

It's a long time since I had a stall at a craft fair. Before we eventually moved to Faversham I sold most of my craft fair stock so I've got to build it up again before I can do anymore.

However, I've been invited to make some jewellery boxes to put into an Open Studio this coming weekend in Redhill, Surrey. I'll share a link which will provide information about it.

The Open Studio is being held at the home of a jewelry maker and teacher. She has invited a number of local artisans to show their wares. It will be a great opportunity to meet some of the artisans and maybe buy some unusual Christmas gifts.

I'm hoping to go for a few hours on Saturday, around lunchtime.

Here are some pictures of the jewellery boxes I have made specifically for the event.

I've just opened up an Etsy shop. I'm not very good with technology so I'm feeling chuffed with myself for doing it, although my husband has given me quite a lot of help.

I'll be sharing the latest additions to my shop so please share if you like them:
