I had a wonderful set of markets over the last couple of months and with online orders pretty much wrapped up now with last post deadlines upon us, I have just one market left until I can put my feet up/stop cluttering up our house with all my market display stuff being dumped in random places after a long day (my husband will be thrilled!).

My last market of the year is this Sunday 22nd with the wonderful at on London's . 12-5pm. Lovely venue. Beautifully curated market. Can't wait!

👉Swipe to see me at last year: less tired, less disheveled (😂), more hair!

Bonus random fact: I developed Raynaud's syndrome after being pregnant with my son, having never experienced it before in my life. Last winter the markets were pretty excruciating for my fingers and toes. I really struggled and wondered if I'd be able to keep doing markets in future. This year (touch wood🌲!!), since having my daughter, my raynaud's seem to have totally disappeared and I haven't had any numb fingers or toes at any of my markets or in general life (the year before, I was even getting it in summer if there was any damp in the air 🙈). How flipping weird is that.

Super excited to be selected to be stocked at the wonderful shop in for the next few months. (Spot my Amsterdam and British & Irish Isles maps are in the first pic!)

I did my stock drop off in person last week (👉 to the last pic to see Fearne and I doing the drop!) and got to have a little peek at the beautifully curated shop. They stock so many fab other indie businesses there - it's a bit like a condensed version of their monthly markets but in a permanent location!

It's also only a stone's throw from which was very exciting for my tummy that very much misses all the amazing cuisines we used to eat when we lived in Singapore and that rural Sussex doesn't quite provide 😂.

I have a range of my illustrated maps on sale at the shop and will be restocking periodically throughout the run up to Christmas. If you visit the shop and can't find the design of mine or size you were looking for, just drop me a message!

My stock will be there until 15th Jan 🥳

🌿 A little update from me - we welcomed our gorgeous girly Fearne a few weeks ago, so things have been very hectic and sleep deprived here with a very energetic toddler and a very hungry baby!

I am monitoring my emails and DMs sporadically, but this little pickle has discovered the witching hour(s!!!) waaaayy earlier than Finn ever did, so the time I thought I might have a snoozy babe on me in the evenings has actually been spent walking all over my house with Fearne in a sling shhhshing until my mouth is dry 😂

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine at the moment and had a fab weekend! Big love to all the couples I've been working with this year who've had their weddings this summer - I hope you had the most magical weddings! Please do share your professional photos once you get them back - it's always lovely to see my work out in the wild!

Each guest received a personalised menu with their name printed on a little marker for this beautiful Loch Lomond wedding at 's pavillion last summer.

A bit late to the party (where on earth have the last 2 weeks gone!) but I hope all my wonderful customers & clients, the shops I wholesale to, the wedding venues who recommend me, the lovely traders I've had the pleasure of working next to at various markets this year... AND everyone in between... had an absolutely fabulous Christmas/NY break and a little bit of a rest (for those that weren't working)!

2023 was my best year yet running and I'm so grateful to have worked on so many bespoke wedding stationery projects and illustrated maps this year - thank you so much to those who put their trust in me and for those who recommended me to friends and family! ❤️ The word of mouth recommendations mean so much as it shows me how much you loved what I created for you! I will at some point get round to collating a reel of some of the awesome wedding stationery projects I've worked on... though if I'm totally honest with myself, it probably won't be for a little while as my phone's gallery is chaos 🙈.

I've also done more markets than ever in 2023 and it's been haaard work (physically lugging stock and display bits and bobs around with my dodgy back!) but so rewarding and I've loved getting to chat with so many of you about my work and meet lots of fellow traders. Markets have really helped me to feel part of a community, not just a solo illustrator who works in a windowless studio 😂. Particularly as I'm a bit s**t and sporadic at social media, so don't have a huge level of engagement on here. I'm hoping to do lots more markets in London, Sussex and Kent this year.

I'm a little booked up for map & stationery commissions for the next couple of months but drop me a message if you are interested in a commission and I'll see when I can squeeze you in.

Nursery is still closed for the Christmas break, so I'm feeling very frazzled this week trying to catch up on everything between juggling a little person with some very big feelings (and opinions!), so please bear with me if I've been a bit slow!

Hoping to be back to normal on Monday!
