If you were waiting for payday, this one’s for you 🤍

I’ve extended the 15% discount until next weekend (1st March)…

And, I’ve made it simpler and applied the discount directly to the listings. This discount also applies to direct orders via Instagram or Facebook.

This includes all three shadowbox styles shown here with lots of options for customising to make it truly unique.

Orders for the Mother’s Day design placed by next weekend are guaranteed to arrive in time.

Links to the frames will be in the comments.

If you are able to share this post, it really helps my small business - thank you 🤍

A mirror you’ll actually use🪞👀

An alternative to the clipped travel jewellery box I shared recently.

This compact version includes a built-in mirror that’s genuinely useful - for putting jewellery back on, checking an earring, or avoiding carrying anything extra.

A handy little piece if you like to travel light.

Available in pink or green and a choice of designs, with a small tester run at £7.

Comment below or message me if you’d like to order one.

Pink is back 💗
(and it brought a friend 👀)

Personalised Kindle cases, made to order and designed for cosy reading moments.

Pink has been restocked, and dark grey has just joined the line-up.

Dark grey is a limited trial colour for now 🤍

Can I put ANYTHING on a bookmark??

Pretty much, yes!

I can adjust the size and layout to fit most phrases or messages - including this very bespoke ‘Happy Mothering Sunday’ with added message on the back.
Sometimes a small but practical gift says it better than a card.

If you’d like a fully personalised version like this, they’re still available at the tester price of £3.50 - just send me a message.

And if the name or phrase you have in mind is a little more… direct - no judgement here 😆

For when you want more than a box of chocolates 🍫💝

Personalised shadow boxes, handmade with wooden letter tiles.

A lovely option for Mother’s Day, anniversaries and other special milestones - names, dates or simple words, made to order.

Designs can be adapted, with a range of background options available.

Link to the details in the comments below or message to order directly.

15% off on Etsy with code SHADOWBOX15 until 22nd February (applies to direct orders too).

(Chocolates are still very welcome, obviously!)

Unicorn dreams won — and they went fast 🦄

The first two tester pieces were snapped up, so I’m opening this design up briefly before it moves to Etsy.

These can now be made with any name, and I’m releasing a small number at the same tester price of £3.50.
They make a lovely little gift — especially for readers who enjoy a touch of colour.

Comment below or send a message if you’d like to order one.

📚If you love your Kindle as much as your books 🤍

I’ve just listed the personalised Kindle cases — made to order, carefully wrapped, and designed for readers who love their reading rituals.

Seeing these arrive with customers who have tested them and be so well loved already has been really special ✨

Cast your vote: Are you getting ‘Unicorn Dreams’ or ‘Mermaid Lagoon’ vibes from these? 🦄 vs 🧜‍♀️

This is a departure from my normal aesthetic but the rainbow ribbon and pink marble effect caught the attention of my inner child…and I think she was right to combine them!

Before they hit my Etsy shop, I’d love to know which font you think works best.

Since these are my tester ones, I’m offering the two you see here at a reduced price of £3.50 each, plus postage. Just DM me if you’d like one.

If you want one with a different name, drop me a message, I’d love to make more!

I love hearing where these end up 🥰

Knowing they’re being used in favourite books and quiet reading moments makes it all worthwhile.

If you missed last night’s post and have been thinking about a thoughtful little gift (self-gifting is totally a thing), they’re waiting over on my page 🤍

Not all Valentine’s gifts are obvious — and that’s often the point.

A recent customer personalised one of these bookmarks with the words “you’ve got the love”, and it completely changed how I saw them 💕

Sometimes it’s not about novelty or grand gestures, but about choosing words that mean something — and giving them a place to be kept and used every day.

If you’re tired of Valentine’s gifts that feel a bit… loud, you’re not alone.

These acrylic bookmarks can be personalised with a name, a favourite phrase, or something completely bespoke, and there’s still time to order ahead of Valentine’s Day.

Available in my Etsy shop — link in bio, or feel free to DM me ✨
