A leather bound teleidoscope by Frank and Janet Higgins Sold.
 Handmade Happiness is proud to be a stockist of these handmade kaleidoscopes by Frank and Janet Higgins. Frank, who has  a science background builds them with his wife Janet here in Hampshire.

Since Frank brought them in on Tuesday everybody who comes in the shop is invited to look through them towards the window and marvel!

  Handmade Happiness has nine kaleidoscopes, all different. You look through one and see an ever-changing richly hued stained glass window. You look through another and see a faceted precious mineral - coloured diamonds. 

And what about the simple leather teleidoscope? 
Through this you see everything in front of you broken down into swirling geometric pieces - a quilt maker's dream! And great for children to appreciate the world in fine and entrancing detail.
Come in and see them for yourself!

ahhh kaleidoscopes remind me of being a child...my dad and I searched for one for my mum years ago - the leather one really appeals to me so I will be in to see these (if there are any left) as soon as I am next in the area. Another unique gift from HH...well done Jenny for discovering another fabulous maker
