Announcement
Hello! Thanks for visiting my shop! I am Fiona Leighton, I illustrate and make homewares and gifts, inspired by nature, birds and flowers.
My work is particularly inspired by wild flowers from the overgrown hedgerows and meadows here in Cornwall, UK. Birds, insects, nests and small creatures all make an appearance, and the ever changing landscape offers year round inspiration.
I design and make fabric for homewares, as well as bird and floral themed gifts. Along with my bright and colourful floral kitchenware, consisting of aprons, tea towels and sandwich wraps, I also create wash bags, soaps and have a stationery range. All of my designs stem from my original gouache paintings, which I scan in to create detailed and captivating designs.
Although I am in the UK, I am happy to ship worldwide. If you are in Europe, please be aware of import duties - see my shipping policies for more information. If you have any questions, please get in touch, and I will be very happy to assist!
If you'd like to follow along my illustrative journey, come and join me! I love to share where I live, my creative process and what inspires me!

Very occasionally International orders have been known to take a few weeks to arrive. Items can be delayed in customs, and can sometimes take up to 30 working days - depending on where you are. My timings are taken from the Royal Mail website, which give an estimated time for posting. If you have a particularly time sensitive order you may want to consider International Signed for delivery - especially at Christmas time.
Particle Press is not responsible for customs duty or brokerage fees on international orders. These will have to be paid by the customer where applicable. If you have received a despatch conformation, and your item has not arrived in the estimated time, please be aware that your item may be with your local sorting office. You should receive a card to let you know that you missed delivery, but this does not always happen.
If an item is returned to me by Royal Mail as unclaimed I will contact you to arrange for the item to be redelivered. In such circumstances I am unable to offer any refund on your order, but redelivery will be arranged as soon as possible. Please respect that if such a situation occurs there may be an extra charge for postage to cover the cost of resending the item for you.
Particle Press cannot be held responsible for items lost once they have been handed to the Royal Mail for delivery both in the UK and when being posted to overseas locations.
Additional policies and FAQs
Thank you!
Privacy
This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy.
Information I Collect:
To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), 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 me with additional personal information, if you contact me directly.
Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It:
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
• as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
• when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list via my website www.particlepress.com
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
as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Information Sharing and Disclosure:
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
• Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
• Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
• Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my 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 my customers, or others.
Data Retention:
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 7 years.
Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU:
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Mailchimp and Google Cloud are Privacy Shield certified.
Your Rights:
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. I describe these rights below:
• Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
• Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
• Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I 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 my 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.
