Cotton Totes
I started making these bags for friends, family and teachers as gifts for different occasions .
The hand stitched themes include: Merci, Love, Best One, Dream Big, Music (great gift for music teachers), Merry Xmas.
Lucky Horseshoes
All of theses horse shoes have been previously worn by racehorses. I thoroughly clean them and spray paint them. Gold, Blue, Red, Black & White, AND colour of your choice. They make a great party gift and look good displayed at an entrance or over a door. Hang them up with the opening to the top so the luck can fall in.
Blue horseshoes would be good bride’s gifts. Like Something blue…. There is also an old tradition where the bride should always be given a horse shoe :))
About Eléa

Eléa’s horseshoes prove clear winners
Lucky horseshoes from Newmarket are selling all over the world thanks to the creative craft talents of a ten-year-old girl. Eléa Gansera Leveque, daughter of racehorse trainers Ilka and Stéphane, transforms real horseshoes previously worn by horses at her parent’s stables as they train on the town’s world famous gallops.
Painstakingly cleaned they are available either unpainted or individually painted in a variety of colours.
Elea is also braced for a rush of orders for ‘something blue’ horseshoes in the expected post-pandemic wedding boom.
Buyers are attracted by the authenticity of the horseshoes, her daughter’s initiative and the traditional appeal of a lucky horseshoe, believes Ilka. “She has sold to people living in Horseshoe Cottage and on Horseshoe Lane. Other people have turned them into photo frames, horse tack hangers and door knockers.
“Giving horseshoes is also a recognised good luck token at a wedding, a tradition of long standing even before Christian times, and a blue horseshoe fits the ‘something blue’ tradition.”
Eléa has inherited her mother’s work ethic of early rising and application to detail, fitting in school with looking after her pony, music lessons and the demands of her growing business.
One note of advice from her;
horseshoes should be hung with the opening to the top so that luck can fall in!
Horseshoes come in a range of shapes (depending on what her parents’ horses needed), either aluminium and steel and she can also provide them for individual art projects.

I've just received your old used horseshoe and it's beautiful.
I'm hoping for good luck as I'm going to hang it over my front door.
I'll be in touch with you in the near future for further crafts.
Thank you very much.
