  • My bag hook in action - SO useful!
  • Hey there, this is me! One of those rare days I'm wearing black and white...
  • My gorgeous paperclip bows; my personal stationery has never looked as pretty since opening my shop!
  • My work space. Just out of shot are a lot of boxes with all the rest of my stuff in...

I love making pretty things using bits of fabric, paper and beads, to create unusual things that no one else has!

Hello!

I love colour and glitter. I also like my pieces to be practical and functional and that's why there are bag hooks, hair clips, necklaces and greetings cards for sale. Despite being functional, there's no reason why it can't be sparkly at the same time!

I've always liked making things, I think it stems from my Grandmother who taught me to knit when I was a little girl. That grew into crochet and then into making clothes for myself as well as a whole heap of accessories and homewares. Everyone has their own style and my Grandma's was to knit with her needles tucked under her arms so each pair is perfectly contoured to fit around her waist! I still have them, but I can't knit with them!

For fun I studied an A-Level in textiles, and gosh it really was fun, and met some amazing people. As part of the course I came across resin whilst researching techniques. We didn't cover it in the A-Level so I went on a further resin specific course to learn about it and I love it! I love how it captures and preserves items, yet is so smooth and tactile. I love how I can colour it and embed different things within it and how no two pieces are the same, I think I love that bit the most.

When I got engaged, I knew I wanted make my own bouquet for the wedding. One thing lead to another and I ended up making the wedding bouquet from paper flowers that I designed and assembled myself, bridesmaid bouquets to match, boutonnières, table decorations, aisle decorations, all of the stationery and even the cake topper. My husband joined in and we crafted the most wonderful day. There is something very satisfying about taking a blank piece of paper and turning it to something beautiful. The cake toppers I sell in my shop came about from being unable to find the one I wanted for the wedding so I designed my own and devised my own technique too.

Thank you so much for visiting, I hope you like it here as much as I do!

Frequently asked questions
Tell me more about cake toppers

I make the toppers to order so they are super fresh for you. I am aware that these are placed into food so I keep my hands and work area clean. The card, foam, sticks and washi tape live in sealed bags so they don't gather dust. I live in a smoke free and pet free house (well, we have fish but they aren't fussed with cake!).

The cake toppers will fit through a normal letter box, despite being securely packaged in cardboard and bubblewrap.

How do I look after my silver plated jewellery?

Please be aware that silver-plated products can tarnish. This happens when the silver becomes oxidised when it comes into contact with skin, water, cosmetics and even just air. To keep your jewellery looking beautiful, please remove before bathing and keep covered when not in use.

Will the cake toppers arrive in time for my party?

Please check my Shipping and Polices for the postage times to your country from England. To the larger number of the two, add 3 working days for me to make the cake toppers for you as they are made to order. To be on the safe side, also add on a little extra in case there's a delay with the Post Office or at customs. Is that enough time?

I usually turn orders around quicker and ensure I get it shipped as soon as possible but please let me know your date in the message box when checking out and I'll be able to confirm whether I can get them to you on time. I'll do everything I can to get it there for you, I'd hate for the big day to be without the perfect cake topper.

Can you resize the necklace chain to my ideal length?

Of course! The chain I use has a maximum length of 61cm/24" but I can shorten it for you so that you get the perfect drop. Most of the necklace listings have a photos for an idea of how it could look.

Just let me know which length you would like when you checkout. If you aren't sure then 46cm/18" is pretty standard and should suit most people.

My order hasn't arrived yet

Oh no! I am sorry to hear that. Please see above for the estimated shipping times, perhaps it's still on the way as it may take a little while to get to your country from England.

If it has been the shipping time above PLUS the following, then I should be able to raise it with the Royal Mail as a lost item.
UK - plus 10 days
Europe - plus 20 days
Everywhere else - plus 25 days

You are welcome to contact me to let me know if your items haven't arrived before the above times have passed and I'll let you know specifically when it should have arrived and what we can do next.

What steps have you taken as a result of the Coronavirus?

- I am currently fit and well but as soon as I have any symptoms of any sickness, I shall close my shop

- I am keeping a strict hygiene regime when processing orders, including washing hands fully before starting each order

- I have stripped back the items in my shop to just those that will fit through a letter box. This is so that I can post them in a post box and also so they’ll minimise your contact with your postie

- I am buying my postage online, so I don’t need to go to a post office to buy stamps

- I am dropping my orders off at my nearest post box, again to minimise contact at the post office and to save me driving and therefore needing petrol
