Buddy and Bloom

🎄Last orders⛄️… until the 14th Dec
We are taking a festive family break next week.
Today’s the last day to grab some festive treats from my Etsy store.
All current orders will be shipped this week.
I will aim to reopen my store towards the end of next week.
Thank you to everyone who has shopped small for Christmas this year 😍

A little more Christmas …

A really special keepsake bauble 🎄

New prints added to my store.

Only a couple of weeks and I’ll be at the for my first market since March 2020 at the Tyne Bank Brewery.

I’m in Manchester this weekend and on the itinerary is the Festive Winter Fair at the Victoria Baths, let the Christmas shopping commence …

So you might have seen I changed my brand name and then changed it back again!
I just wasn’t feeling it and I didn’t realise how much the name Buddy and Bloom meant to me until I changed it.
So instead of a name change to ‘rebrand a little’ Buddy and Bloom is going to grow with the brand I want to create.
Buddy was the name we gave our little boy when I was pregnant, although he then became Séamus :)
I started Buddy and Bloom when i was on maternity leave and it’s grown with Séamus and now our littlest Connla. It’s been a lot of b***s … much like my life for the past 3 years. The b***s are of course staying and my boys will inspire the new products as I move Buddy and Bloom towards children and nursery products.
My first collection is inspired by Séamus’ 3 favourite Jellycat toys (you will get to meet them soon)
If you are still with me at this point… thanks for listening to my rambling!
I hope you stay and enjoy the next chapter of Buddy and Bloom x

Back with a re brand… well nearly back there’s still a lot to do before I get in the new studio.
We are back as MustardMint … I did think about setting up as a separate company to Buddy and Bloom but why not put all the b***s and all the newness in one place.
Hoping to be in the studio before Christmas I am eagerly awaiting a completion date so I can order my new shiny machinery.
I’ll start to take you through what will be coming over the next few weeks

Things have been really quiet on here lately. However I have been working really hard in the background.
I am so excited to be able to announce the new Buddy and Bloom Studio in this beautiful Georgian building.
You’ll find us behind the bottom two sash windows.
This has been a dream for a long long time. There’s lots still to plan and I’d love to share the process along the way with you.
How am I feeling… beyond excited… with a lot nerves and knots in my belly!
Can’t wait to share what Buddy and Bloom will look like inside!

This one isn’t ‘All about the b***s’ 🤭
This one comes from a hot chocolate loving whirlwind of a toddler I call Séamus.
A mug designed just for little hands, although I have squeezed in some matching ones for bigger hands.

Bo***es are here! at www.buddyandbloom.com

Hand crafted clay b***s on a sterling silver chain
Each b**b is handmade from polymer clay therefore each ‘b**b’ will have its own unique markings making it completely one off.

This really is a unique and quirky piece of statement jewellery that shows off our amazing bo***es!

The necklace will come on a Buddy and Bloom card, wrapped in pink tissue paper, inside a bright blue presentation box.
I haven’t used a commercial mould, the shape is crafted in a unique mould created just for Buddy and Bloom.

These have been so fun to develop and make, I really hope you love them!

⚡️BRAND NEW⚡️I have been so excited to share this totally brand new product. I have created ‘bo***es’ with one thing in mind ‘celebrating our absolutely amazing bo***es’ and what a day to share them 💪Each ‘b**bie’ is 100% unique and hand crafted and will come on a sterling silver chain. These will be available at 6pm tonight at www.buddyandbloom.com
There will be limited numbers available of each design.
See you tonight 💪

Nearly set to go on a brand new product, hoping to share it Monday just waiting on the last bits to come together.
It’s took a little while to come together but I’m really happy with the finished design.
Any guesses what’s on its way???
