I started Ink and Honey in 2015, when my daughters were small, looking for a creative way to work from home in Cornwall around family life. I had no experience in art, but had always loved drawing and making things. Inspired by my girls, the whimsy of childhood and my love of Christmas, a small idea grew into something I never imagined.

Today, my baubles have travelled all over the world. Messages saying they have become favourite, treasured ornaments, and customers returning year after year, mean so much to me.

My girls are older now, and I feel so grateful to still be creating. What began around our family has become part of so many other families’ Christmases. Knowing my work is brought out each year, carrying memories and becoming part of traditions, is the loveliest thing about it all.
