I love this quote for October reminding us to ‘Stay Curious’...& it really got me thinking. . What am I curious about? A new production process? A new design? A new range of goods? . But then I started to think about this in more depth, particularly around our children and their ‘curiosities’...new experiences...new opportunities...new friends...new starts...the list was endless! And why are THEY so curious about EVERYTHING?!?!... . As adults we sometimes loose the perspective to remain curious about what is right in front of us unless we take the time to slow down and really see what is presented to us...given to us. . Summer is quickly changing to Autumn...leaves are changing colour, the morning air is damp and tinged with a slight chill...& my client requests are changing with the season too...it’s very cyclical in this business! . What will this new season, this month bring? I, for one, am curious... . . . #staycurious #thoughtofthemonth #thoughtfulquotes #onthedaystationery #handmadebusiness #lovewhatyoudo #stationery #calendar #thismonth #quaintlykate #curiosity #curiositykilledthecat #thoughtfulsunday #handmadebusinesslove #changingseason #beboldandcurious

Hands up who would like a ‘Best Woman’ as part of their Bride Tribe?! . Or how many of you have had a Best Woman with you on your Wedding Day? .

Owning your own small handmade business is like being on a huge emotional rollercoaster...and this quote really struck a cord. . I fluctuate between feeling like an awesome and strong warrior woman boss who can achieve and accomplish anything & everything...to an ‘imposter’ who is pretending to know how to run and build a business, like a little girl pretending to be a grown-up...like a 5 year old dressing up in her Mums shoes pretending to be her. . How many of you feel that... too? What do you do when the imposter sits whispering on your shoulder? . I love this quote in the QuaintlyKate office, it reminds me to be that Warrior that I know I am. . . . #quaintlykate #motovationalquotes #motivation #beawarrior #beawarriornotaworrier #beawarriorqueen #girlboss #femaleentrepreneur #handmadebusiness #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #smallbusinesslove #mumboss #mumbosslife #wifelife #officemotivation #officequotes #bethatwarrior #dontworry

Who doesn’t love a bit of sparkle?! . I just love a bit of glitter & sparkle...whether it’s my sparkly gold/silver UGG boots, glittery tops or the sparkly hairspray I spray in my hair (I am actually not kidding...it’s from Claire's) it makes me feel happy! . It’s kind of what I am known for now so it has become my signature style...a little sparkle here & there!... . But spreading sparkle can also mean another thing...a kind word to others, a compliment to a stranger or a friend, fully listening & being present in that conversation... . So....Let’s all spread that sparkle all over today & be fabulous! . . . #sparkle #spreadthatsparkle #shespreadsalittlesparklewhereevershegoes #bekind #bekindtooneanother #motivationalquotes #kindwords #ugg #sparklyhair

We can’t wait to get up the office Christmas Tree!!!! .

We gave a sneak peep a few days ago so here is the reveal in all its glory! . A bespoke keepsake artisan First Wedding Anniversary Card crafted for a client...seems very appropriate since a First Wedding Anniversary is paper. . A gorgeous watercolour foliage wreath with delicate hand painted but subtle glitter.... . The design was taken from a Wedding Invitation Suite we designed for a photo shoot with Edith & Winston Bridalwear: Plus Size Specialists a little while ago but we loved the delicate foliage so wanted another excuse to use it again! . . . #anniversary #anniversarycard #anniversarycards #paper #firstanniversary #handmadecards #quaintlykate #handmadebusiness #handmadestationery #weddinganniversary #firstweddinganniversary #paperpretties #paper #paperlove #card #cards #personalisedcards #personalisedgifts #oneofakind #oneofakindcards #oneofakindcreations

We love pretty watercolours and a bit of sparkle at QuaintlyKate...so we used both in these pretty personalised Bridesmaids Proposal Cards. . The watercolour flowers are delicately highlighted with hand painted lilac glitter and the dots above the ‘i’ is embellished with a tiny lilac gem. .

Kate was such a pleasure to work with and I am so happy that I came across her Invitations!



I left our invitations a bit late in the day but Kate went above and beyond for us so that we would have our invitations sooner, she kept us up to date but also I felt like I had a friend through the whole process! It's possibly been the most exciting part of our wedding planning!



I am still in love with our winter wedding invitations and everyone has commented on how beautiful they are!

I've just received my frame and it is perfect! Kate went through everything with me and I helped me decided which colours worked best with what I was looking for. She was so patient with my mind changing and uncertainties, nothing was a problem. It arrived well packaged and protected with the whole process being very simple and efficient. I would recommend her to everyone!! If you are looking for something special, bespoke and perfect - look no further!! You have found it with Kate! Thanks again Cx

I recently recieved my frame that Kate personalised for me as a gift to my mum. She reviewed the colour schemes I spoke of and did a wonderful job of matching colours together into a beautiful arrangement. The finished piece was totally amazing, better than anything I could have done myself which is something i wasn't too sure about at first, but after conversing with Kate I felt comfortable putting total faith in her skills. Well worth the money and beautifully presented and well packaged! Box and bubble wrap came in handy when wrapping it as a gift so thanks again Kate.
