Anton Gladkov of Wonderland Ukraine comes from a family of crafters. So he has more than an inkling of what they need. Wonderland Ukraine relies on many crafts people for their products.  

Anton comes from the eastern city of Kharkiv which was heavily bombarded for months but never fell.  I asked him how his business has been affected since last February. 

This is his reply :

Here, in the east of the country, we can imagine very well what would happen to us without the help of the governments of other countries and millions of people. Many businesses have been destroyed or their employees forced to leave, so of course our range has suffered, some of the best sellers are simply not being produced now as the craftsmen have gone into the army, defense forces, volunteers etc. Those who continue to work do everything possible and sometimes the impossible, but they are not wizards, they are human, albeit sometimes heroic.
It is heroic to see how some businesses like his are managing to survive, provide employment and help keep Ukraine's economy going. 

I have featured many of his wonderful items before.  But here is my latest pick which includes different kits for bead embroidery, thread embroidery and storage organisers. 

Some of his laser cut wood organizers or decorative displays are designed such you get to decorate them with some cross stitch work. Such fun!


There is also a huge selection of bead embroidery brooch kits. The sunflower one, shown above, is nod to Ukraine's connection to the sunflower. So happy exploring!
