We have a gorgeous range of stationery, homeware, personalised gifts and wedding accessories. We also offer bespoke wedding stationery, and a design & illustration service from our studio – this year we have worked on projects for The Museum of London and Boden.

What has been your biggest achievement?
Keeping a company up and running for 10 years – I can hardly believe it!

What do you love about weddings?
I love that they are such happy occasions, and by designing a couple’s wedding stationery we have a lovely part to play in their very special day.

Who inspires you?
I’ve always been greatly inspired by the artist Sara Fanelli – she is very original.

Have fun with it!

Tell us a secret?
My husband and I ran off to Gretna Green in our campervan to get married.

At the moment it’s our happy eating placemats – I love that they’re used everyday by families.

What trends have you seen for 2013 and what do you think is in store for 2014?
Woodland animals have been the winners and I think this will continue into 2014.
