Hello and welcome!

Thank you for popping into my shop! I’m a retired Graphic Designer, but thankfully I haven’t retired from being creative. I still love the process of making things, experimenting with colour, pattern and texture, and giving new life to all sorts of materials.

You’ll find a colourful and eclectic mix of handmade pieces in my shop, with birds and flowers featuring strongly throughout. I particularly enjoy combining unexpected materials, patterns and colours to create unique mixed-media pieces — so there’s always something a little different to discover.

I’m also a big believer in happy postage! If you find more than one item you’d like, I ALWAYS combine postage and refund any excess. I know it can be a little alarming to see the postage total increase as you add items to your basket, but please don’t worry. I’ll package your purchases together and refund the excess postage on the same day your order is dispatched.

So have a browse and thanks so much for visiting!

Quirky, affordable gifts and cards

Welcome to my online shop, where you'll find a colourful collection of handmade gifts, cards and textile artworks.

My background is in advertising, where I worked as a graphic designer in a London studio before going freelance and working from home. Although I'm now retired, I still love the creative process – coming up with ideas, experimenting with colour and making things by hand. The great thing is that these days I don't have to work to a client's brief!

I love being out in the countryside and draw much of my inspiration from the natural world. Birds and blooms feature in many of my textile artworks, although you’ll find some of my feathered friends have been reimagined with a touch of bohemian spirit!
