About us

Hello,

Welcome to the world of Books From Sharon.

BFS began life in Worcester when our family's love of books got out of hand. We converted the garage to a library, stacked books under the stairs and filled the attic; but when we began tripping over piles of fiction in the bedroom my husband firmly suggested pruning our collection.

The books sold so well that I started trawling the car boot sales for nice books to sell on and in August 2002 I became a registered business.  Shortly afterwards I moved from selling second hand books to new ones.

In 2012 I moved to the beautiful Brecon Beacons and am running the business from our home, where I have a stunning view of Sugar Loaf Mountain from my kitchen window.

In late 2022, I started crafting; etching, beading, whatever took my fancy.  Intended as a hobby, this grew rapidly and so in 2023 this became an addition to the shop.  The crafting side of the business trades as The Little Welsh Workshop and, as well as operating online, LWW sells via markets and events.

I am very lucky to be surrounded by open space and wildlife, including red kites which are a beautiful and constant distraction when I should be working.

This is where I enjoy life as wife, mother, grandmother and small business owner.
