Janufire, a handmade jewellery and crafts store, opened at 23 Madoc Street on 30th June. The store, owned by Wendy Barnes, not only sells beautiful jewellery and crafts but also places a strong emphasis on promoting community engagement and mental health benefits.
On Tuesday, Janet Finch-Saunders, the Member of the Welsh Parliament for Aberconwy, visited Janufire. During her visit, she learned about the store’s background and had the opportunity to explore its wonderful variety of intricate gifts, including earrings, bracelets, dreamcatchers, and wind chimes.
Commenting on her visit to Janufire, Janet said:
“I would like to thank Wendy for the warm welcome to Janufire this week. I thoroughly enjoyed viewing all of the incredible jewellery and crafts that they have to offer.
“The workshops and the focus on promoting community and mental health benefits, led by Wendy, are vitally important. It is through raising awareness of these issues that real change and support can take place.
“It was also wonderful to learn about the different opportunities that Janufire has created for local people. For example, encouraging an entrepreneurial spirit in young people helps them to develop business skills they can use in the future. Additionally, the crafting groups enable people to come together and bond over shared creative activities.
“I wish Wendy all the best for the future and highly recommend that lovers of crafting and handmade items visit Janufire.”

Agorodd Janufire, siop gemwaith a chrefftau wedi’u gwneud â llaw, yn 23 Stryd Madog ar 30 Mehefin. Mae'r siop, sy'n eiddo i Wendy Barnes, nid yn unig yn gwerthu gemwaith a chrefftau hardd ond hefyd yn rhoi pwyslais cryf ar hyrwyddo ymgysylltu cymunedol a manteision iechyd meddwl.
Ddydd Mawrth, ymwelodd Janet Finch-Saunders, yr Aelod o’r Senedd dros Aberconwy, â Janufire. Yn ystod ei hymweliad, dysgodd am gefndir y siop a chafodd gyfle i archwilio ei hamrywiaeth wych o anrhegion cywrain, gan gynnwys clustdlysau, breichledau, dalwyr breuddwydion a chlychau gwynt.
Ar ôl ei hymweliad â Janufire, dywedodd Janet:
"Hoffwn ddiolch i Wendy am y croeso cynnes i Janufire yr wythnos hon. Braf oedd gweld yr holl emwaith a chrefftau anhygoel sydd ganddyn nhw i'w cynnig.
"Mae'r gweithdai a'r ffocws ar hyrwyddo manteision cymunedol ac iechyd meddwl, dan arweiniad Wendy, yn hollbwysig. Trwy godi ymwybyddiaeth o'r materion hyn, gallwn sicrhau newid a chefnogaeth go iawn.
"Roedd hefyd yn wych dysgu am y gwahanol gyfleoedd mae Janufire wedi'u creu i bobl leol. Er enghraifft, mae annog ysbryd entrepreneuraidd mewn pobl ifanc yn eu helpu i ddatblygu sgiliau busnes y gallan nhw eu defnyddio yn y dyfodol. Hefyd, mae'r grwpiau crefft yn galluogi pobl i ddod at ei gilydd a mwynhau gweithgareddau creadigol sydd wrth eu bodd.
"Hoffwn ddymuno pob lwc i Wendy ar gyfer y dyfodol. Os ydych chi’n hoff o grefftau ac eitemau wedi’u gwneud â llaw, rwy’n argymell yn gryf eich bod chi’n ymweld â Janufire."
