A different sort of commission here (I love getting asked to create something new and unique). A parting gift for a member of a book club. This was a list of all the books they had chosen and read together over the years 🤩 What a fantastic way to commemorate their time together doing something they love 📚

I’m in the shop today, Friday 22nd, 10-3pm so wrap up in your woolies and come say hi 👋🏻

There are always flowers for those who want to see them ~ Henri Matisse

Good morning, how are we all out there? Staying warm?

Here’s something to brighten up your morning, a beautiful custom order I was asked to create a little while ago for tea pot enthusiast. Lots of special memories and mementos included in this one and I just loved the free rein to make it as bright and colourful as possible. Do get in touch if you have any ideas for a custom order that you think I might be able to help you with - I love to hear each individual idea and the story behind it.

I’m in the shop today, Wednesday 20th, 10-3pm.

I have a new school desk available, all upcycled and looking for its new home. Pretty in pinks I chose this positive message to inspire young minds. I think this would look beautiful in a child’s bedroom and could make a lovely Christmas present.

Please get in touch for more details / photos.

I’m in the shop today but please note I am closing early… 10-12.30pm.

⭐️CHRISTMAS LETTERS ⭐️

Yes it’s that time… I can officially announce I will be helping the elves again this year! Orders are now being taken for my personalised Father Christmas letters…beautiful paper, stunning burgundy envelope, gold calligraphy and a wax seal 😍 The letters are updated every year but still have the same format in terms of colour and design.

Here’s how it’ll work (I can’t reserve spaces without the following):

⭐️ I will require ALL information for the letters at the time of booking, here’s what I’ll need to know:
- Name & age
- Present they have asked for/being given
- Address - House name/no. & street
- Snack you leave out for FC / reindeers
- Any other little traditions you may have to make the letter personal

⭐️ If you don’t want to commit to mentioning the gift in the letter (I know children can change their minds last minute!) I can remove this part of the letter.

⭐️I will be asking for payment at the time of booking.

⭐️ The letters are priced at £8 each or two for £15.

⭐️ If you have any questions please just drop me a message.

Well here we are on 31st October. Yes it’s Halloween but more importantly it’s my BUSINESS ANNIVERSARY! 8 years ago today I took the plunge to start up my business. It looked very different back then, but today I’m taking a moment to recognise the courage it takes to start a business and be proud of what I’ve created here. Over recent years I’ve learnt how important White Flamingo is to me, it’s not just a business, it’s a little bit of my heart (in fact a lot of my heart!) A huge thankyou to everyone that likes, comments and shares a post, those who place custom orders and customers who come and buy pieces from my shop. It means the world xx

I’m sharing this version of my Hiraeth artwork as you won’t get to see it otherwise - I sold this yesterday before it even reached the shop! New versions on the way…

I’m in the shop today, Thursday 31st, 10-3pm.
