Introducing 'Little Robin'

Introducing 'Little Robin'

'Spideog' in Irish, the little robin is a symbol with extra significance. To many their sighting brings comfort; they serve as a reminder of loved ones gone before us; or they symbolise new beginnings and a sign of good fortune.

The 'Little Robin' Sentiment Slip has been designed to capture memories and create connections that are most personal to the wearer.

A month to remember... Thank you September, 'hello' October

As for what is ahead in September, it's going to be a month of prepping, making beautiful orders, and hopefully finalising some new designs. Is there anything that you...

I have started a new email series, where I will be sharing more of what goes on behind the scenes with me, Laoise. Not everyone receives the email and not everyone gets the full picture on Instagram, so I will be sharing everything here, for whoever would like to follow along.

Catching spare hours often means waking early and sometimes Sadie joins me - sitting on my lap drawing, while I work on bespoke engravings... While crazy at times, these are also precious times. They are passing by too quickly but I am thoroughly enjoying the journey.

Sentiments Collection

A question I get asked again and again is, 'What should I engrave?'

As a way of helping the thought process, I have put together the Sentiments Collection.
