Anyone who knows me will know how much I enjoy being crafty (in the creative sense). I love making beautiful items and keepsakes for house and home.

• Tenby, Pembrokeshire Over the years, I have made decorations, handstyled furniture and greetings cards for my home and also gifted them to others. My family and friends have always encouraged me to start my own business and to share my passion for feeling good in your home environment. I make handmade bespoke personalised items that are not available on the high street. From a love of card crafting, handwriting, transforming furniture and general creativity this new business venture brings together all my passions. The environment is very important to me. I seek a lot of inspiration for my creations from the beautiful countryside around me, the beaches on my doorstep with all its stunning and natural surroundings. All my items are made from natural products (paper, card, metal, pottery, wood, chalk paint, willow and slate) with sustainability in mind. These beautiful handmade finished products will last for years to come and hopefully create special family memories year after year. To discuss your bespoke gift needs please send a DM to discuss, ask questions and place your order.

✨ The first impression is handmade too. 🎀

Preparations are underway for two lovely workshops next week and there’s so much more to my brush lettering kits than what’s inside the bag, well that’s important too! 🤍

From the ribbons and calligraphy to the little trims and carefully chosen themes, every detail is thoughtfully put together by hand to make each kit feel that little bit more special.

Because at Dovetail, it’s not just about learning something new. It’s about creating a lovely experience from the very first glance to the final flourish. ✍🏻

A little creativity, a lot of care, and plenty of lovely little details. 💙

🍂 FROM A QUOTE AND AN IDEA 🍂

Some of my customers come up with the loveliest sayings, which make for the best commissions! 🤎

This one was a little different! A REAL pumpkin, hand-lettered in copper ink with a gold leaf stalk and dove grey chalk paint. 🎃✨ Created for an early Halloween party this weekend and BIG enough to make a statement on the table!

I do love bringing your ideas to life, especially when they’re a little bit different! 🤍 This week they certainly have been; a 1st birthday pumpkin and a baby shower commission, (will share photos when the events have happened).

✨ Have a celebration coming up? 📩 Get in touch to discuss your idea.

✨ I did my very first summer event… and my heart is so full. ☀️💙

Beyond grateful for every single person who came to say hi! I am always humbled by how many lovely humans I meet at these markets and seeing people connect with my personalised keepsakes is the loveliest feeling in the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🥹✨

These are just a few of the beautiful things I overheard people saying at the Dovetail stall this weekend… and honestly they meant more than you will ever know. 💙

Q: Can I have one of everything?
A: Yes!

Q: It must be hard to write on round things?
A: It is tricky at first!

Q: I can finally have something with my name on it, you dont know how hard that is to find!
A: Yes I can make that for you.

Q: Is that your writing?
A: Yes!

Q:Wow, that is beautiful.
A: Aaaw, thank you 😊

Q: How did you start doing this?
A: I Learnt calligraphy in Primary School and learnt Modern Brush Calligraphy course a few years ago.

Q: How did you start doing this?
A: My daughter and I made hand stamped personalised baubles for every family member as Christmas presents. Then it developed into brush lettering.

Q: I already follow you. I am so glad as I saw you today as I would like to come to your next workshop.
A: You do?! It’s so nice to meet you, thank you, Next workshop is at Green Lotus Studios, Narberth. Thursday 23rd July. We would love to see you there.

Q: Do you make everything that is on your stall?
A: I personalise all the products you see here. I am very eco-minded. All the materials I work with are natural; wood, metal, porcelain, terracotta, willow, slate, paper, card etc.

Q: Can I pre-order six of your Christmas baubles? That will be some more present ticked off the list. A: Yes, you can. I can make those for you this coming week as I always try and keep a good stock of baubles as I am asked to make them year round!

To everyone who stopped to browse, shared a story, asked me to make a keepsake, supported a small business or simply smiled as they passed by. Thank you for making my first summer event one I will never forget. Here’s to more magical market moments.🌿✨

Little Stone 🩵 Big Love

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the Dovetail stall at Sandy Bear’s Big Bash on Saturday and purchased one of our special doorstep stones.

Each stone carried the message “Little Stone 🩵 Big Love - Sandy Bear” and was created as a small keepsake with a very big heart.

Thanks to your kindness and generosity, we raised £29.91 for . Every penny will help support bereaved children, young people and their families.

We are so grateful to everyone who supported this little fundraiser and helped turn small stones into big love. 🩵

If you still wish to purchase a stone and missed out there are a few left with .codd at Sandy Bear, Narberth that can be purchased.
