April Allen recently rebranded her online business as The Artful Apricot.
April sells embroidered art, right in the hoop, embroidered clothing, beach glass art and jewellery and she can spiff up pretty much any piece of clothing you own. Everything is handmade by April so she can custom-make something for you and everything is done right here in Peterborough! The Artful Apricot rebrand triggered not only a new name but a logo, and website, which you can check out at artfulapricot.square.site or you’ll find them on Facebook and Instagram.
