Happy to my amazing, kind Dad who has done so much for me in my life which I’m so grateful for.

My Dad has done all my graphic design work for my business since day one so it’s very much family run.
Highly experienced and skilled in graphic design, particularly packaging and did it the old skool all by hand back in the day. Remember letraset?

He met my mum at art college back in the 60’s where they were both studying art so I’ve had a creative childhood as I was forever drawing and creating.

The other thing I was taught was how nature and wildlife is important to life. To look after, cherish and protect it.
What ever you teach your children today, matters.
Here’s to all those amazing Dads out there who do so much for us.

Love you. 💙

It’s Organic Textile Week! 💚
A campaign to raise awareness about organic certified textiles in the UK from 13-19th May.

Did you know that cotton is one of the most sustainable fabrics on the planet?🌍

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) organic cotton is better for the planet, and us because it’s grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, reducing harmful chemical runoff into waterways and soil erosion. 🌱

Organic cotton uses 91% less blue water consumption and 62% less primary energy than conventional cotton. 💦

It also promotes biodiversity by avoiding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and encourages sustainable farming practices. 🐝

Additionally, it results in safer working conditions for farmers and leads to higher quality and longer-lasting products. ♻️

It is also likely to biodegrade in around 5-6 months depending on the conditions.

Great time yesterday RHS Malvern Spring Festival / Malvern Autumn Show yesterday with my Mum. 🪴🐝🦋
So much to see and just loved the new festival of houseplants where I bumped into the lovely local Sarah - The Plant Rescuer.

I love receiving photos from my lovely customers. 🥰
This is the organic cotton children’s embroidered flamingo sweatshirt on blue and doesn’t it look great? 💙🦩☀️
Please do share any snaps or videos with me, or tag if you post on your socials.
Have a fab Friday. 😊

I am absolutely honored to be listed on the

I am one of the 1% taken from 1,000’s of brands listed on there which is ranked in the top sustainable category ‘good’or higher.
Yep I’ve beaten massive brands in my rating and transparency on key issues these include under the three main areas -
People 🧒🏽
Planet 🌍
Animals 🐰

I currently have been rated ‘Good’ - These brands adopt policies and practices to manage multiple issues across their supply chain and often demonstrate leadership in one or more areas.

Emma Watson is one of the ‘good on you’ top supporters and quotes :
“Good On You is my benchmark for sustainable fashion. This means that when I’m given a platform to speak about my choice of outfit, I will have a meaningful story to tell. And it’s powerful.”

I am very grateful for this accolade. 😊
