I'm Leah (or sometimes Leela...)
Hopeless romantic, doodler, dreamer, domestic goddess, foodie and collector of all things vintage and quirky.
I love to make stuff. Put a peice of paper and a pencil in front of me and I will doodle all over it. My exercise books at school were covered in my swirly inky doodlings.
I am mad about stationery - pens, notebooks, diaries, post it notes, cute paperclips, notecards, postcards. I am particularly obsessed with Paperchase.
After doing lots of different jobs over the years (graphic designer, marketing manager, hen night specialist, restaurant and cocktail bar manager, even chef!) and being mad about weddings the answer was clear - combine my love of weddings and experience to provide unique and quirky stationery and creative design!
My Style
I can think of nothing worse than a ready made card with a "wedding invitation" foil sticker, diamante buckle and stuck on flowers from a packet! If that's the kind of thing that you're after, you won't find it on this website!
When creating my very first wedding invitation I sat down with my sketchbook and a fine liner ink pen and out came a swirly twirly illustration which i finshed off with a cute and quirky font, and the rest is history!
My style can be described as quirky, unique and cute, with a sprinkle of vintage nostalgia, but my real inspiration is YOU! Each wedding invitation I make is created
with the couple in mind, as to me, that is what your wedding should be all about.

The Studio
I am based in Leicester City Centre and work from home in my little studio. I've filled the room with quirky vintage finds, pretty decorations (including a collection of Golden Apple ornaments) and other things that inspire me, and I love working there with Scratch to keep me company!
