Bon Ami Cottage crafts and fabrics shop has opened its doors in Mildenhall.
Based in Market Place, the store has created several local jobs and has providing craftspeople from across the area with a space to showcase their work.
Established by Melanie Brooks in 2009, Bon Ami set up on the Mildenhall and Lakenheath air bases as well as a shop in Feltwell.
Melanie is delighted to have opened her new store in the centre of Mildenhall.
She said: “I decided to open a store after many local people expressed a keen interestin having a craft and fabric store in the town.

We already have a very well established customer base with US military and contractor families and our Friday market stall in the town proved very popular. This is the logical next step.
“I have plans for expansion into other towns across East Anglia over the coming years. There is clearly a market for personalised and bespoke gifts and crafts.”
