Coming from Hull originally, I can solidly say that I did not expect to find any seller on Etsy from there, or at the most, anyone with talent. I moved as it seemed to me to be a dead end town with little opportunity. Cherrypips http://cherrypips.etsy.com has proved me very wrong though, she has a beautiful shop, this in particular is my favourite:
PennyDog Patchwork (and illustration, recipes, other crafts...)
