Festive Trading 2022

Another year has come and gone. Who would have thought we’d still be shaking off the dregs of the pandemic?

The new Little Anvil workshop truly got up and running this year and it wouldn’t be without the help and support of my family here and in Glasgow.

In February this year, my Dad (he won’t mind me telling you he’s in his mid 70’s) flew out from Scotland to help me pack and unpack about 6 truck loads of stock and equipment, build partition walls, set up shelving and basically work full weeks of solid 8-10 hour days. I truly couldn’t have done it without him, so Dad - thanks.

Even now, it’s still a work in progress, but we’ll have a little showroom set up in 2023 so you’re more than welcome to drop by and say hello.

Christmas Trading (Places) 2021 | New Year | New Workshop

Well, we’ve made it through another year hand in hand with the pandemic.

In 2020 I took a leap of faith and Little Anvil became a full-time job instead of a part-time venture.

In 2021 it continued to grow steadily, and so much so we have locked in a new larger workshop/warehouse that we are scheduled to move into at the start of February next year.

If you had asked me 2 or 3 years ago if that would have been a reality, I wouldn’t have been sure, but I’ve always dreamt of having my own ‘proper’ workshop, and here I am - finally being able to say I do.

Yes it’s scary, yes it’s exciting and yes, - it’s somewhat of a coming of age - finally, at 45!

Christmas Trading

What a year. In 2020 I decided to take a leap of faith to turn Little Anvil from a part-time venture into a full-time job (with a little nudge from the pandemic).

Despite the inherent challenges of COVID-19, we have shipped all over the world; with timber beam lights, brackets, lighting and hardware circling their way around the globe, from boardrooms in Canada to cafes in Canberra.


It has been incredible to receive all your support, and now it’s time for a well-deserved break and to spend some much missed time with family, before firing up again in 2021.

Our last day of shipping will be Friday 18th December.
