ARTISANAL PAPER FLOWERS HANDCRAFTED WITH LOVE BY MISS POPPINS
Hello, I’m Miss Poppins, a paper flower artist, solopreneur, wife and romantic who lives in a bygone era filled with flowers, vintage fashion and endless cups of tea.
HANDMADE WITH LOVE IN MELBOURNE
My days are spent in my home studio in Melbourne, Australia, where I meticulously hand cut, curl and assemble every petal and leaf of my unique paper flowers.
I lovingly obsess over crafting the ideal rose, sourcing quality and symbolic papers from around the world to create a romantic keepsake for you. These long lasting blossoms are sought after around the world to mark memorable moments; from wedding days to endless anniversaries, and any other “just because” reasons in between.
A TOUCH OF NOSTALGIA
As a child, I was constantly crafting, dressing up as a bride with bouquets of flowers from Mum's garden and visiting Grandma's house to watch the Disney film 'Mary Poppins'. Later on, I fell deeply in love with sculpture when studying a Bachelor of Visual Arts, but then decided to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a nanny like Mary Poppins in London, England. This led to many adventures working and travelling abroad, until I needed to recover from a heartache, so I packed up my bags and moved to Melbourne. It was here I combined all my lifelong passions of creativity, romance and Mary Poppins, and began a little business I fondly call Miss Poppins and Me.
TRUE LOVE AND ROMANCE
I was first introduced to romance by my loving parents. To this day, they celebrate their wedding anniversary on December 1st by exchanging gifts and cards first thing in the morning, then in the evening dressing up in their wedding attire for a special home cooked dinner and rewatching their wedding video. Throughout the year, you can feel their love for each other as you witness the cute and random gifts they like to bring home for each other “just because” they can. I thought this was the normal kind of celebration you share with your partner, until I moved out of home and discovered everyone is quite unique- some don’t celebrate at all, some forget, others make minimal effort, while others go to the extreme.
After scrambling around with ideas of what to do with the paper flowers I was creating, a customer approached me to create her an anniversary rose, and then each year she kept returning with a request for the next anniversary edition. Being a romantic at heart, this inspired me to help other couples express their love by creating anniversary gifts as gift giving is one of my love languages and a way of life.
HELPING YOUR ROMANCE BLOSSOM
Since 2014, I've so far helped love stories continue to blossom across Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom and the United States of America.
