New Wedding Stationery online shop

Breaking News:

Today I have launched my dedicated Wedding and Special Occasion Stationery ONLINE SHOP!  I will be adding more items and more design ranges over the next few days and weeks, so keep checking back.

If you can see a design you like, but would prefer it with a different ribbon or in a different size, please let me know and I will be happy to help.  I also offer a Bespoke service – see my online shop “Custom Designs” page for more details.

If you have any questions, please get in contact.

Don’t forget Mothers Day

Mothering Sunday is less than a week away now, so if you’re still struggling to find gifts or cards why not try Buying Handmade and looking online at Folksy where you can find handmade quality items from independent UK designer makers (some of which will post orders worldwide).

The official Folksy blog lists lots of ideas for quality handmade Mothering Sunday gifts.

I also have some greetings cards and notepads made from recycled card available in my Original Minnie Folksy shop.  They are all hand stamped by me, so if you would like a specific name or phrase, just let me know.

I also have jewellery available, all of which is sent to you in a gift presentation box made from eco-friendly recycled card.

New Baby Card Design

I created this design specially for a friend, but I thought it was so nice, I would add it to my range of greetings cards.  What do you think?

You can find this card, and many others in my Folksy shop.

Happy New Year

THANK YOU for 2010, and Happy 2011!

I would just like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year!…

… and say a BIG thank you to everyone who has supported and followed Original Minnie over the last year.  In 2010 I have:

• completed my first big Wedding Stationery commission which was a lot of work, and very enjoyable and so satisfying,

Next Event – Leicester Handmade Craft Fair

UPDATED EVENTS LISTING

The next event will now be Saturday 6th March, in Leicester at the Fabrika Arts Centre (The Arts Organisation).  It is the first time Original Minnie has displayed in Leicester so its exciting!   Apparently Fabrika has its own coffee bar, which I’m sure I will take full advantage of to keep re-fueled!

It also means that weekend is going to be a double whammy with the Leicester event on Saturday and the Woodhall Spa event on Sunday – phew!  I’d better get cracking on my new designs so I have plenty of goodies to take!

For more info on either event, take a look at the Events page.
