Creating beautiful handmade personalised keepsakes items for your house and home. I love making beautiful items and keepsakes for house and home.
Anyone who knows me will know how much I enjoy being crafty (in the creative sense). Over the years, I have made decorations, handstyled furniture and greetings cards for my home and also gifted them to others. My family and friends have always encouraged me to start my own business and to share my passion for feeling good in your home environment. I make handmade bespoke personalised items that a

Itโs always an honour to be entrusted to craft your special keepsakes and gifts.
Though it can be nerve-wracking at times but knowing that they're loved means so much ๐

Who else loves a personalised card?
I love creating cards from scratch. The most most favourite part of this process is sending a photo of the finished item to the customer and receiving the feedback ๐
Happy to discuss any personalisation ideas, birthdays, weddings, births, anniversaries etc. Please send me a message to discuss.

On Mother's Day,
๐ธ๐ผ๐ชป๐ท๐ป
Some Mumโs can snuggle their children in their arms,
Some Mumโs can only hold their children in their hearts.
Some Mumโs hold a hope for a child to come, Some Mumโs hold acceptance for a child that cannot be.
Some people can snuggle their Mumโs today,
Some people no longer have a Mum here to hold.
One thing is for sure...
all of us have been touched by motherhood in some way.
Give space to wrap your journey with love today.

Just remember we are all important and should be celebrated ๐

And that's me done for 2022!!
I've lettered my last bauble, painted my last window, created my last photo frame and personalised my last plant pot.
I just wanted to say the biggest thank you to all my wonderful customers for choosing to work with me this year I'm incredibly grateful for the customer base I have and for getting to work with you all.
We'll see what 2023 has to bring, there are some exciting ๏ฟผnew things on the horizon!
I'm off now to spend some quality time with my family. I'll be back on 9th January and will respond to all messages then.
I hope you all have a lovely restful break over the rest of the festive season.
See you in 2023

Every so often I am asked to create an extra special bauble. There have been a few delivered this year.
This one has a special message (I flipped the message over as itโs a Christmas Day surprise).
Glass bauble, floating gold leaf flakes, velum paper, hand lettered message in shiny gold ink, wrapped in tissue paper, presented in a box with a matching hand lettered gift label.
Ooooh, I do love making these!

Gold shimmer on pale blue, the shine is insane. New batch of super shiny inks on a new bauble design.
