Lara // Always Crafting

Hello! I’m Lara Jones, thank you for visiting my website, I’m so happy to have you here. Here is a little bit about me. 

If I’m not picking up sea glass along the beach with the love of my life, my working cocker spaniel, Musca (don’t worry, my husband isn’t far behind!), I can often be found with a big smile, a cup of mint tea and busy hands. I love to create beautiful handmade items and if I can do so by sustainable and environmentally conscientious means, I always will. 

I spend the summers in my beloved village of Hamble, on the South coast, and in the winter, you can find me in the French Alps, skiing down mountains and playing in the snow with Musca. I am a huge lover of everything outdoors, and preserving our beautiful Earth is very important to me. I enjoy nothing better than an adventure, whether that be powder skiing with clients in Japan, parapenting in Courchevel, paddle boarding with Musca on the River Hamble, or sailing with friends off of the Isle of Wight. 

As well as running my LaLa Leads shop, I work as a private ski instructor and guide in France in the winter, and as a fully qualified yoga teacher year round. Find out more about my other ventures by following my other IG accounts - @skiyogini and @laraskicom.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions about my upcycled products. I hope you love using them as much as I enjoy making them.

Lots of love,

Lala xxx
