Welcome to Of Life & Lemons, a series of tongue in cheek homewares and gifts inspired by everyday humour. Quotes and sayings are brought to life in a range of fun, affordable products. Travel, gin, wine, coffee, friendship and love - Of Life & Lemons turn everyday themes into wall art and homeware gifts for every occasion.
Train tickets are transformed into personalised prints, tea towels and mugs; road signs become new home gifts and world maps are given a new life through uplifting quotes and sayings.
Every item is designed by company owner Angie and they are (nearly all) made in our small studio in Essex by her brilliant team. We are all mums and work around our children every day. All products are entirely made in the UK and you are buying direct from the artist so many of the items can be personalised or tweaked to your specifications. Please drop us a line before ordering to discuss your requirements - we're a friendly bunch!
I welcome wholesale and custom orders, please get in touch for a price list.

About oflifeandlemons
A series of quirky, quote based prints and textile goods inspired by everyday humour.
Of Life & Lemons was born at the same time as my first child. Caffeinated up to the eyeballs and slightly delirious from lack of sleep I came across the quote 'Given Enough Coffee I Could Rule the World'. It was so apt given my situation, I realised how a quote could speak to you and lift your spirits so I started designing prints around any that I found humorous or uplifting.
Before going on maternity leave I was working in London as a researcher for a fine art publishing company, sourcing new and exciting artists to be published as wall art products. Liaising with so many talented designer makers who were making a living from their craft left me green with envy and wondering if I would ever achieve this myself. After moving back to my Essex hometown to raise my son, I continued in my old job working part time from home but the hunger to start creating my own work was growing stronger and stronger. I wasn't particularly proficient in graphic design programs having done a painting degree but working on a computer seemed quicker and easier than getting all of my old paints out, only to have to put them away again when my son woke from his naps. I began to teach myself the programs, using the coffee quote as my starting point and slowly added designs to my new Etsy shop. That was the summer of 2011, fast forward to now and I have two children and an extensive range of products that alongside the prints, also include tea towels, tote bags, aprons and mugs. And the best part? I quit my job and achieved my dream of making a living through my designs!
Of Life & Lemons products have been featured in a number of national magazines including Ideal Home, Good Homes and Period Ideas. My prints have also been stocked in stores including Urban Outfitters and Selfridges.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.
1. Personal information we collect:
For us to fulfil your order, you must provide us with certain information, such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide us with additional personal information (for a custom order of a product that requires personalisation, for example), if you contact us directly.
We use this information to provide the service you have purchased, and in order to send you the product(s).
2. Why we need the information and how we use it:
We rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
as needed to provide our services, such as when we use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support; if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and as necessary for the purpose of our legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving our services. We use your information to provide the services you requested and in our legitimate interest to improve our services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. We use your information as necessary to comply with our obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
Information about our customers is important to our business. We share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
-Etsy. We share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you our services and comply with our obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
-Service providers. We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies and printers. We will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
-Business transfers. If we sell or merge our business, we may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
-Compliance with laws. We may collect, use, retain, and share your information if we have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce our agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of our customers, or others.
4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, we may also be required to retain this information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. We generally keep your data for the following time period: 7 years.
5. Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
We may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If we are deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, we rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud & other services are Privacy Shield certified.
6. Your rights & Consent
When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. We describe these rights below:
Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information below.
Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict our use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where we are required to store data for legal reasons) we will generally delete your personal information upon request.
Object. You can object to (i) our processing of some of your information based on our legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from us after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, we will delete your personal information unless we have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about our use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
7. Security
To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.
8. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on Etsy. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it. If our store is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we may continue to sell products to you.
