Whispers from the Workshop: A Butterfly's Tale Begins You know, there are some mornings when the light hits just right, streaming through the window of my little creative nook, and suddenly a memory, a feeling, or even just a fleeting thought takes on a whole new sheen. It's like finding a forgotten coin down the back of the sofa, a little glimmer of unexpected delight. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about beginnings, those precious moments that kick off a lifetime of stories. It got me reminiscing about some of the wonderful pieces we've had the absolute privilege to craft, items that truly...

A Little Whisper of Yesterday, A Spark of Today Isn't it funny how sometimes, the simplest things can really get your creative juices flowing? I was rummaging through some old boxes the other week, full of forgotten treasures and memories, and stumbled upon this tiny, rather charming locket. It belonged to my grandmother, a gift from her mum when she was just a wee lass. It wasn't anything grand, just a silver oval, a little tarnished, but oh, the stories it could tell! It made me think about how much love gets poured into these little keepsakes, how they become tangible echoes of affection ac...

A Little Heart-to-Heart: Where Ideas First Fluttered You know, it’s quite funny how some of the loveliest ideas for what we make here sometimes just pop into your head when you least expect them. One sunny afternoon, I was watching a couple of little ones exchanging a rather enthusiastic hug and a peck on the cheek before one dashed off to school, the other waving furiously. It was such a pure, unadulterated moment of affection, wasn’t it? Just those simple, honest gestures, a little ‘hugs and kisses’ in real life, made me smile. These are the moments, these little slices of life, that often n...

A Little Something Special for Life's Big Moments You know, there are some memories that just stick with you, little snapshots in time that glow brighter than any polished silver. I was just thinking the other day about a rather lovely photograph on my mantelpiece, a faded, sepia-toned image from my grandmother's christening, all those decades ago. She was barely a few months old, swaddled in lace, and on her tiny wrist, there sat the most delicate little bangle, a gift from her godfather, I believe. It wasn't anything grand or ostentatious; it was just a simple, shining circle. That piece, th...

Origin Story and That Little Spark You know how sometimes, you are just pottering about, maybe watching the telly with a cuppa, or perhaps staring out the window at the lovely British drizzle, and an idea just pops into your head? Well, that is quite often how some of our most cherished pieces start their journey, a rather humble beginning for something that will eventually carry so much personal meaning. There was this one particularly blustery afternoon, not too long ago, I recall, when I was sitting by my workbench, idly sketching, feeling a bit creatively stumped, when a tiny little heart-...

A Little Chat About Where Ideas Bloom You know, sometimes the very best ideas, the ones that truly sing, don't just pop out fully formed, do they? They often sneak up on you during the most wonderfully ordinary moments, like a particularly splendid sunny afternoon tea in the garden, with a gentle breeze rustling through the leaves, or perhaps watching a village fete from afar, where colourful bunting dances happily above the stalls. Those fleeting, joyful glimpses of life, the ones that make your heart give a little skip, are often exactly what kickstarts a whole adventure in design. I find m...
