5 out of 5 starsThis was one of the best transactions I've ever had on Etsy. Not only is the dress really beautiful and wonderfully made, but the customer service was also out of this world! I can't say enough good things about my experience! Lorraine was fantastic to deal with, and it's obvious she really cares about her customers. She also has a real gift for design and for combining different textures and colours. I'm overjoyed, and I HIGHLY recommend this shop to anyone who enjoys this type of clothing! A++

5 out of 5 starsStealing Fog is a lovely, lovely piece that is aptly named. Everything about the dress is ephemeral, shimmery transparence, like morning dew on grass. Simply gorgeous!

5 out of 5 starsThis is such a fabulous jacket! The fabric is soft and inviting, and I love the combination of lace, fleece, and florals that make this tunic jacket versatile, suitable for a variety of seasons. The cut is fun, flattering, and feminine. Sheer perfection!

About
-
My studio is in the sunroom of our 100 old year farmhouse. The farmland is long gone and the house is in the City now!
-
Inside, it is a small jam packed space. My sewing machine sits on an old train-masters desk at the other end of the room
-
Finished pieces are stored in a room in the attic
-
The attic space also serves as a changing room and a place to take photos in the winter when it is -25 C

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In an effort to use what already exists and reduce discarded things filling our landfills, my collections of conscientious clothing, accessories and home décor are created with salvaged and reclaimed items to create unique, one of a kind pieces.
Born in the UK, I am a self-taught artist and designer working without rules to find my own way through creative processes. I love to work in mediums that cannot be fully controlled, where you never really know where the process will lead. I have fallen in love with the unknown - where the final outcome is always a bit of a revelation, producing one of kind pieces each holding their own surprises. Imperfections are celebrated and combined with artful tattering, distressed patinas and asymmetry to enhance the personality of each piece. Edges on my clothing are often left raw so they will gently fray and soften over time and layers of visible stitching provide wandering textures. Each piece is a unique creation made spontaneously by hand without patterns.
Every handmade item from pondhopper studio has a heartbeat, infused with whispers of times past, each has a story to tell, a new life to live.
