WHEN mum-of-two Melanie Kelly decided to go back to work after having the kids she wanted to do something a little bit different.

With a background in retail management Melanie, 28, had always fancied opening up her business.

Now she's done exactly that and her business - Heritage Kids - which has been open three weeks - is starting to blossom.

Based In Elsecar Heritage Centre, the children's boutique offers clothing for girls and boys from newly born to eight years of age.

Melanie, from Wortley, whose children are aged six and one, also sells handcrafted items such as knitted blankets for babies and gifts made by local people.
