I'm Bev and I started my own business after having to leave my career working with children due to health challenges. What could have been a set back became a new beginning. Creating has become my happy place - a way to slow down, pace myself, focus and bring a little magic back into everyday life. I'm lucky to call the beautiful Kent Coast home, where I live with my husband and our 2 cute Maltipoo dogs.
When I am making a finished piece, I cut the wooden shapes and add images, soft paints, gentle distressing, tiny details, and a touch of gloss or sparkle here and there - making something that feels treasured and one of a kind. I also make craft kits and blanks designed to help you enjoy mindful moments of calm, creativity and gentle well-being in your day too.
Everything is created slowly and thoughtfully, there is no factory production line - just me working at my own pace, putting care into every cut, every brushstroke and every parcel wrapped.
I hope that whether you're buying a ready-made piece or creating something from one of my kits; it gives you a moment of calm. A little escape. A gentle reminder to slow down and surround yourself with pretty, meaningful things.
