💌 O R D E R S 💌

Thank you so much to these two return customers for your orders this week, I posted them this morning so they should be with you in a few days!

I’m sorry I’ve been so quiet on here, life with a toddler is chaotic and I just can’t give much time to my Etsy and Instagram in the same way I used to.

Everything with my Etsy is still the same as the last update I gave you…I have a load of things made up which are ready to send. I’m still not doing any personalised orders.

I’m thinking hard about what direction to take my shop so I can actually start creating and making again, but I’ve not quite worked out what to do yet, so for now, it’ll continue as it is.

I get very few orders nowadays, but I’m so grateful for every single one that I do get, even if it’s one order every couple of months!

Thank you again for your continued support 🫶🏻

Have a fantastic Easter weekend! 🐣

👋🏻 H I Y A 👋🏻

Just wanted to come on here and say a quick hello!

Sorry I’m not posting much on here at the moment…my little family is taking up all my time and I don’t have the brain capacity just yet to create content on here as well as looking after my just turned 4 month old!

I am still working on orders behind the scenes. I don’t get many at the moment but I am so grateful for every one I do get!

I’m still just selling pre-made items. I don’t know when I’ll start the personalised stuff again yet. I had hoped to start them again at the beginning of June so that you could all order your end of term gifts because that’s always such a popular time for my business, but I just can’t fit it in to my days at the moment especially with the baby contact napping on me every day, and I don’t want to stress myself out when she’s still so little!

As soon as I have decided when is right for me to bring back the personalised items, I’ll let you all know! But for now, there are tons of pre-made items for sale and ready to ship out asap!

Thanks again for sticking around and for your patience with me bringing my business back to life!

Lots of love,
Charlie x

Ps. if you head on over to my Etsy this week, there is a 20% off sale running to celebrate my birthday which was on Wednesday! This photo is from that day where we took little E to the aquarium!

🌷 I ‘ M B A C K ! 🌷

Hello everyone!!

You’ve heard it right, my Etsy shop is back open!

Thanks for sticking around whilst I go off and have my baby. My little girl, Effie, is now 2.5 months old and she is an absolute ray of sunshine!

I now feel ready to start taking orders for physical items again.

I’m going to run things the same as I did when I was winding down for my maternity leave, which means for now, only items that I already have made up will be sold. It means whatever you order is ready for you, it just needs packing and sending.

I will do restocks and start taking personalised orders in a few more weeks - I’m not quite ready to take that on yet.

I have extended my processing times, so all orders will say they take 1-2 weeks before they are posted. I will always aim to get things sent out a lot sooner than that, but I can’t guarantee so will set this as the timeframe for now.

It just means I’m not putting pressure on myself to get to the post office, because if I’m not already heading out of the house one day, I’m not making a special trip, so I will go when I’m already out doing other things. I have to take the baby with me everywhere I go so anything to make life a little easier, and also means I’m allowed to have days where we stay in our pyjamas and snuggle on the sofa all day!

I’m still not shipping to Northern Ireland (see my previous GPSR post about this), and I’ve turned off international shipping for now whilst I find my feet again, so only orders to England, Scotland, and Wales will be fulfilled.

I hope you all understand the conditions of my return, and I look forward to your orders!

Lots of love, Charlie xx

Our girl, Effie 💕

That’s it, the time has come for me to take a break!

I’m officially on maternity leave!

February is baby month, so time for me to put a pause on my small business and take time for my little family.

I’ll be back soon - I haven’t decided when, but keep an eye on this page for that information.

I’ll still be here, checking in and having a nosey at socials, but I won’t be posting for a while.

My Etsy store remains open for digital downloads, but all physical products have been taken down for now and will come back when I return.

You can still message me, but I won’t reply instantly, so please be patient.

Thanks again for everyone’s love and support, and I’ll see you all soon, with my baby girl in tow! 💕

As a thank you for sticking with me and being such lovely people, I currently have a “last chance” 20% off sale running on my Etsy until the end of Friday 31st January!

I’ve got a selection of stickers, tote bags, zip pouches, greetings cards, badges, keyrings, bookmarks, notebooks, and sun catchers still available!

All physical items will be removed from my shop on the 1st February, and only instant digital downloads will be available for purchase whilst I am on my break.

🖤 M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S 🖤

I’m bumping along quite nicely over here!

I finished my day job yesterday for maternity leave, and I’m now going to start winding down with my small business ready for my baby’s arrival in the next few weeks!

I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me and my small business this year!

It’s been a busy year with my work, my house move, and my pregnancy, so I’ve been a bit more quiet on here than I would normally like to be, but I’m grateful to everyone for sticking around!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and I’m so excited for 2025!

Lots of love,
Charlie, and bump xx

💔 I M P O R T A N T I N F O 💔

I’m sure if you follow other UK small businesses, you will have seen posts about this already, but I thought I’d better get a post out on my page so you can be kept up to date.

Unfortunately, due to new GPSR regulations coming into effect from the 13th December 2024, I will no longer be able to ship to the EU and NI.

As a small business, I cannot afford the risk of the hefty fines I could be facing if I ship to these locations after this date and adapting to these changes is just not feasible for me. This is a hard blow to small independent businesses in the UK who simply cannot afford to go through all the steps to achieve the option for us to continue selling to these places without risk.

Unfortunately Etsy do not yet have a way of turning Northern Ireland off from the rest of the UK (England, Scotland, Wales), so any orders placed after 10th December which are being shipped to NI (BT postcodes) will unfortunately be cancelled and fully refunded.

All European countries that I was selling to (which I think was only Ireland at this point) have been taken away as an option from my Etsy now.

I am so sorry, particularly to all my Northern Ireland customers, you have been so good to me, but there’s nothing else I can do avoid this issue without completely closing my shop for good and just stopping all orders to the rest of the UK.

I go on Maternity leave at the end of January, so I am sincerely hoping that the Etsy postage options is resolved before I return so I don’t have to cancel and refund orders, but it will still mean I can no longer sell to Europe and Northern Ireland.

I wish there was something I could do, but it’s just not possible at this time.

Love Charlie xx

BSL initial keyrings are only £4 on my Etsy!

It won’t be long before I stop doing personalised orders for a while so grab yours whilst you can!

Personalised orders will stop later this month as I wind down ready for maternity leave at the end of January!
