I feel small.

I’ve delayed things and talked myself out of trying because I didn’t feel ready or big enough.

But then there are people like Clare.

She didn’t just thank me, she shared her experience as a business owner, gave me tips, and encouraged me to keep going.

Sometimes, all it takes is someone noticing you and choosing to pull you up.

People like Clare give people like me the courage to try. 🌻

Thank you, Clare, for noticing me and for taking the time to encourage me. I’m so grateful. 🤍

Slow days, handmade things, and a little box coming together with love.

Packing this 3-soap gift box reminded me that sometimes, the quiet moments are the sweetest part of running a small business.

One order at a time, one box at a time. 🌸

🌸 A little Sunshine & Petals love for a great local cause!

We’re happy to donate this handmade self-care hamper as a prize for the Cotswold Mātāhae School Jingo Bingo fundraiser!

Lovingly handcrafted and packed with a few self-care treats, we hope the lucky winner enjoys it!

So happy to support our local community.

I could watch this process all day. There’s something so satisfying about taking a bunch of ingredients, mixing them together and hoping the soap gods approve. ✨😂

From start to finish, handmade, a little messy, and always made with love.

Straining day 🌼

Calendula petals went into oil weeks ago, and today they came out, leaving behind that soft golden colour you can only get from waiting.

This oil now goes into the next batch of soap. It’s the kind of step nobody sees in a finished bar, but it’s the reason I do things the slow way.

Warmly, Shiela 🌸

A little corner, a lot of love, and a dream that’s slowly taking shape. 🌿

Every soap, balm, gift box and little package you see here is part of my creative journey in NZ.

It may be a small space for now… but I’m excited to see where it takes me. 💛
