Whistlefish 10 Greetings Cards for £12
Designed with love and considerately made in the UK
They're little pieces of art for those big on giving.

For over 25 years, Whistlefish has been
connecting busy, caring people to friends, family
and places, with earth-friendly, unique cards,
gifts and art. A passionate artist, Lyn Thompson founded
Whistlefish in 1997, opening our first shop in St
Ives, stocked with her hand painted designs. She is still heading up the business today,
ensuring the beauty, care and a little bit of
sparkle is woven into

every design our in-studio
artists create. Green Matters is at the heart of everything we
do. From design and creation, to distribution
and post-purchase longevity, every day we
continue to work creatively to reduce our
impact on the environment. Because we produce in Cornwall, we can control
our production line and create small batch,
delivering lovely prints at even lovelier prices. We support British (and favourably Cornish)
whenever we can. This ensures product
miles are minimised, while at the same
time supporting British Industry – with the
employment and community benefits it brings.

Friendship is one of life’s greatest gifts.

Here’s to every wonderful friend who has left their mark on our hearts.

Happy International Day of Friendship.

Trebah through the day, always changing, always inspiring.
As the light moves, new colours come forward, shadows shift and familiar corners feel completely different. No two visits are ever quite the same, but it’s always stunning.

The inspiration behind the artwork. 🌸

Sometimes all it takes is one flower, one colour or one quiet moment in nature to spark a new design.

Swipe to see the blooms that inspired these Whistlefish cards.

Our founder, Lyn Thompson, visited Florii Culture this week, Cornwall’s newest pick-your-own flower farm in Mount Hawke, near St Agnes. 🌼🌸

Lyn’s creative journey began studying and pressing wildflowers before turning her love of nature into art. A beautiful reminder of those early inspirations and the importance of supporting flowers that are home-grown, not flown.

Go visit yourself, we promise you it’s beautiful.
