Hello ♥️

25/11/2024

Since I started the business in 2019, we’ve moved house 5 times 🫠 (it was all very consensual/work-related for Colin 😅) Which has meant 5 different ‘offices’ (slash working from the spare room/kitchen table/local coffee shop for most of it 😅🙋🏻‍♀️)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As anyone who’s rented knows, you can’t just decorate/paint/make any changes you want, so I’ve always felt that my work spaces were *fine*, but just not very *me*⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We’ve just moved again, but this time to a house we’ve bought 🥹🥹 and HONESTLY, I’m so excited to PAINT SOME WALLS, and make myself a wee office of my Pinterest dreams 🤩⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Please feel free to tag me in any and all home office decor-related posts, and I promise to spam your feeds with all the agonising decisions 🤩🥹♥️

15/11/2024

Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and potentially broken - but also excited, lucky and eternally grateful 🥹⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Thank you so much as always for your patience and understanding while we bought and moved into our first house - I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated the flexibility of working for myself more than I do right now! 🤗⁣
⁣
Please don’t hold back if you want to chat about anything at all - I’ll just probably be a bit slower than usual at replying 🥰♥️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lots of love as always,⁣⁣

Hiya! ♥️

Remember if you’re after a bargain, I have Seconds available for almost every printed poem 🙌🏼

These ones are all packed into their protective wrappers, which means on first check I thought they looked absolutely fine ✨

If you can’t find what you’re after on the website, always message me and I’ll happily check what I have for you! ♥️

Hiya! ♥️

If you’re interested in a personalised poem in time for Christmas, I’ve just opened up a few slots on the website, so you can book it in now 💌

Remember your poem can be about anything at all - it doesn’t have to be wedding-related ♥️

As always if you have any Qs at all please just get in touch and I’ll do all I can to help you out! 🥰

Lots of love,
Clare xx

Based on information that you send over to me, I can write you a fully personalised poem for any occasion. It could be used as a reading at your wedding ceremony, as a speech, a birthday/anniversary gift, or however you'd like to use it ♥️

FYI 🥰⁣
⁣
I’ll always do what I can to get your order dispatched ASAP, but please remember once I’ve sent it it’s then in the hands of Royal Mail to get it to you safely 💌⁣
⁣
If you’re worried about time/delivery, the digital versions are available as a back up 🙌🏼

It’s finally time 🥹⁣
⁣
I’ve made a promise to properly switch off from work - so I won’t be going NEAR my emails until we’re back ✨⁣
⁣
My website will be accepting orders as usual, so the link’s in my bio if you want to get your poems/stationery ordered 💌⁣
⁣
If you need/want any poems while I’m away, i.e. ‘Will you be my something blue?’, you can order the digital version from the website and print it off yourself ♥️⁣
⁣
For any and all other Qs, I’ve set up a detailed ‘out of office’, so email [email protected], and the auto-reply should hopefully help answer your Qs 🙌🏼 ⁣
⁣
💫 Thank you so much for your patience and understanding - we’re so lucky to be able to take this time off together, so I want to make sure I’m properly present and able to enjoy it 🥰⁣

Lots of love as always,⁣

💫 Jen & Andrew had their gorge day in April, and SORRY but how amazing does the eucalyptus design work in with their decor?! 🥹⁣
⁣
They ordered invitations, a seating plan, order of the day board, table numbers, place names and ALSO the *cutest* little cards with QR codes on them for guests to upload their pics from the day 🤩⁣
⁣
Honestly, if I’ve EVER worked on anything for your wedding, I’d absolutely LOVE to see the professional pics of your stationery doing its thing on your day 🥹🤩⁣
⁣
Thank you so much to Jenn & Andrew for being yet another fab couple to work with 🥹♥️♥️⁣

Hiya! ♥️ I’m not posting enough, so here’s some absolutely useless info that nobody asked for (but I always love these ones when other people do them 😅)⁣
⁣
1. We went to Iceland last year and I can’t recommend going enough (we went in Jan ❄️)⁣
⁣
2. We used to live near a farm with 3 alpacas, so we’d go visit them every weekend on our ‘alpaca walks’ 🦙⁣
⁣
3. This was us in the car 4 days after our own wedding, with my wilting bouquet strapped in the back seat, on our way to our pals’ wedding down south 🚗💨⁣
⁣
4. I never eat them, but I always pack the biscuits they give you in hotels - Colin eats them or they get put in the biscuit basket for when people come over 😅⁣
⁣
5. My mum taught me how to make sausage rolls over Christmas so I obvs had to document the pride I felt at the time 👩🏻‍🍳⁣
⁣
6. I do like to build belly band towers when I’m putting your invitation bundles together 💁🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
7. You do not want to be sat next to me watching Scotland play rugby 😬 (especially after a few proseccos 🫣😅)⁣
⁣
8. We’ve moved house 5 times in the past 5 years - this room was my office when we lived in Leicester (it usually had more than just my chair in it 🤣)⁣
⁣
9. Iceland again 🥹⁣
⁣
10. We lovingly vandalised our pals’ car on the morning of their wedding 👨🏼‍🎨

Hiya! ♥️ *insert chat about how I’ve been so busy that I’ve not been posting but that I’m eternally grateful for how busy you’re all keeping me so thank you so much*⁣
⁣
💫 I’m gonna be spending another wee Sunday afternoon at the gorgeous this weekend, so if you’re free and fancy a chat over some food and drinks then I’d absolutely love to see you there 🥰⁣
⁣
🤩 It’s a fab venue if you’re after a really cool Glasgow city centre wedding - but I also know from first hand experience that it’s a fabulous hen do shout too 🤩🥳⁣
⁣
♥️ Sunday’s an ideal opportunity to pop in for a browse - the showcase is on from 1-4, and if you need any more convincing there’ll be free canapés and fizz 🥂💁🏻‍♀️✨⁣
⁣
Lots of love, Clare xx

3 Etsy Bestsellers 🥹 this definitely needed documenting 🙏🏼✨⁣
⁣
Thank you so much as always for keeping me so busy - I’m almost at 5K Etsy sales as well which is absolutely mental 🤯♥️⁣
⁣
💫 It’s my bday this weekend so I’ll be slower at replying than usual, which is definitely good for both our sakes - you don’t want a reply from me after a few proseccos 🙃😂🥂⁣
⁣
Have a fab weekend whatever you’re up to 🥰😘✨
