🌿 ABOUT THE CLAY
Each of my ornaments is handcrafted using natural white air-drying clay. This clay is naturally white (not pure white), and its colour can vary slightly — adding to each piece’s unique charm. These subtle variations occur due to differences in mineral content and natural impurities, depending on the region where the clay is sourced. I choose this clay for its natural composition, superior quality, and long-lasting durability. It's the perfect balance of beauty and strength — just like the keepsakes it becomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Care instructions
Handle all items with care as they are handmade.
Artworks: Avoid touching the surface and hang away from direct sunlight. Gently dust with a soft, damp cloth.
Brass Keepsakes: Clean weekly with warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth. Dry immediately. To restore, polish gently with diluted toothpaste in the direction of the grain.

If an item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer will be responsible for any loss in value. Please note that custom, personalised, and digital items are not eligible for return, unless they arrive damaged or defective. I do not accept returns for change of mind.
Sizing details
Due to the handmade nature of my clay keepsakes, slight size variations may occur — typically just a few millimetres. Each piece is individually crafted, making it truly unique, with its own natural charm and character. Please also note that colours may appear slightly different in photos due to variations in lighting, screen brightness, and monitor settings. Please refer to individual items for sizing information.
Wholesale availability
Wholesale options are not currently available.
Processing Time
Most of my pieces are lovingly handmade to order.
Non-Peak Periods: Orders are typically processed within 5–7 days.
Peak Periods: During busier times (e.g., holidays), please allow 10–14 days.
To avoid disappointment, I recommend placing your order at least one month in advance for special events — especially for larger orders of 20+ pieces.
Philosophy
My philosophy is simple: create with purpose, honour tradition, and make things that matter. I believe in slow, intentional creation—crafting products that are not only beautiful, but meaningful, ethical, and long-lasting.
I value creativity, community, sustainability, and respect—for people, culture, and the planet. These values guide every decision I make in my business, from the materials I use to the way I engage with customers and collaborate with local communities.
I also believe in accessibility—sharing what I’ve learned and supporting others, especially women, who want to start creative businesses of their own. For me, success is not just what I build, but what I give back.

Rebecca went above and beyond for our special ornaments for both of our girls first Christmas! I had previously purchased a couple years back and returned because I loved my ornament on the tree that much! Such a special keepsake to have for our girls growing up. Thankyou so much for the effort you put in and the finishing touches! Love the quality and having these on our tree makes christmas so much more special!
