So that’s it! Boring terms and conditions things over with. Now let’s get back to the fun stuff!
✨ EU SHIPPING IS BACK! ✨
I’m so happy to announce that our shop is now fully GPSR compliant, which means we can once again ship to EU countries! 🎉 This covers all our postcards, stickers/sticker sheets, posters, and 300-piece jigsaw puzzles.
💌 That said, becoming compliant has come with an astronomical fee to have an official representative, so unfortunately, we’ve had to add that cost to our EU postage. Postage will look higher than before, but this is what helps my little handmade business continue to survive.
📦 A gentle reminder:
* The postage printed on your Royal Mail label is not the full cost. We also pay a collection fee, plus transaction, packaging costs, and in some countries (like Germany) an annual recycling/waste (Lucid) fee.
* To save on postage, you can use our Pack Deal 💡 – mix & match products of the same price and send me your list, and I’ll create a custom-packed order for you. (Please note: different price items can’t be mixed in this deal.)
💖 And don’t forget – if you’d like extra savings, sign up for my newsletter! I send out a monthly coupon code just for
subscribers.
Thank you so much for supporting our small studio – every order really means the world 🌍💕

🌸 A little update for my lovely customers 🌸
I wanted to let you know that, for now, I’ve temporarily paused all shipping to the US, except for posters. There’s been so much conflicting information about the new US tariff rules, and I wanted to take a step back to make sure everything is done properly. I truly hope we’ll be back to full shipping soon!
If you’re in the US and really want some of my products, here are a couple of options:
1️⃣ Ask friends or family in the UK to help you place an order.
2️⃣ If you’re planning a trip to the UK, I can post your order straight to your hotel!
We are also in the process of shipping to the EU again, which will be complete very soon. We’ll announce as soon as all the documentation and processes are finalized.
Thank you so much for your understanding and patience 💛 Your support means the world to me, and I can’t wait to ship to you again soon!

✨ Still feeling so warm and fuzzy from yesterday! ✨
Thank you to everyone who stopped by my stall — especially those who lit up with a cheerful “So cute!” or “Awww stickers!” 🥹💖 Those little moments honestly make everything worth it!
A big thank you to my lovely social media friends who visited in person — I was genuinely so touched 🫶 And to my surprise, I even met one of the book designers I’m currently working with (what are the odds?! 😆 So glad I wasn’t doing something embarrassing at that exact moment).
Also, huge hugs to my sweet illustrator colleague Jennifer @abctypography for dropping by — it meant a lot 💕
The cherry on top? I had the chance to meet the art director from the famous book “Maps” — such a cool and unexpected moment! He even asked me where I received my art training… something no one has ever asked before! 😳🎨
It was such a joyful day filled with new faces, old friends, and lots of love. You guys are honestly the best. THANK YOU! 💛✨
And of course, a big thank you to Open Art Space @openartspaces for organizing such a wonderful event — it means the world to small artists like me! 🙏🌟
