These baubles are so much fun! The mix of patterns is fantastic and they compliment each other perfectly. They make excellent decorations for lots of occasions, but they work especially well for winter holidays. Given that their foam center makes them extremely lightweight, they can be hung from anywhere without the risk of falling and/or causing damage. However, even with their lightness, they are well made from quality materials and are sturdy enough to last a long time. Finally, beyond delivering a wonderful product, this seller provides great service. When there was a potential delay with shipping my order, she reached out to me instantly and kept me informed through every step of the process. Thank you for the quick shipping and communication!

This little sockosaurus is so adorable! His styling is whimsical and charming: his bright green sweater, blue eyes, and teeth peaking over this collar are fun touches. In addition to his enjoyable design, he is beautifully made from high quality, super soft wool and makes a perfect gift for any kid.

Growing up with my Creative Heros

Creative Heroes

My name is Sarah and I was born in London, England. We moved out to the country when I was young, to a small-holding with some livestock & a huge vegetable garden. It was here that I spent much of my childhood, lost in thought amongst the chickens and the runner-beans. As a result I list goat-milking as one of my core skills & I can still leap a 4ft fence in a single bound (well almost).

Those years spawned in me an appreciation for thrifty re-use in all its forms & an understanding that each task had its product and its remnants. The key was to waste nothing, but instead to feed everything back into the process. Everything had its value.

The ‘make-do & mend’ mentality of the British is possibly genetic I think, and seemed to pass down from mother to daughter in our family. Throughout my formative years I was regaled with countless stories of thrifty-creative-genius, stretching back to my great grandmother and beyond. These women were my creative heroes as a child & their exploits and ingenuity as compelling as any fictional crusader. I was never left in any doubt that I too would be a maker and a do-er.

After studying Fine Art & photography, receiving a degree in furniture design and working as an Interior designer, I eventually became a mother myself to two beautiful girls. This reignited a sense that we are all part of an inescapable creative tradition, one that I wanted to engage with and actively pass on. Life had become cluttered and noisy, full of tiring distractions and unnecessary commitments...... I wanted to make something again, something that had a story, something that made people smile.

Etsy is the place that makes those things possible for me. It gives us all an opportunity to connect and, if we're lucky, become Creative Heroes for ourselves.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by :)
