Little Birds Loft



I am a big fan of shopping with local small businesses. I would much rather purchase a little gift with a meaning. then just buying any old thing of the shelf.

There are so many small businesses out there, that are willing to craft anything you wish, nearly all items can be personalised, showing alot of time and effort goes into each and every product. Handcrafted with so much care and perfection.

This rings so true for Little Birds Loft. I wanted to know more about the owner, designer and creater.

About me:- 29 year old mummy of two, wife to one, an entire marketing department in the day job and designer and maker for Little Bird’s Loft, a small business selling unique handmade home decor and gifts largely focused around the children’s market although I occasionally make for grown ups too.



Little Bird'sLoft has been born out of my love for something different, unique and a little more special than the high street can offer. I’ve always been a creative person and get great satisfaction from seeing something that I’ve made being appreciated by someone else and a great example was when I was given the honour of creating a gorgeous silver hair comb for a dear friends wedding day. Using precious metal clay and Swarovski crystals, I was delighted with the results and so was the bride.

After years of making jewellery I needed a new challenge and whilst I loved the Buzz of working with precious metal clay, it’s an incredibly expensive hobby so I took a break from crafting for a while.

When we found out we were expecting our second child, a little girl, my passion for making things erupted once more as I set about imagining the perfect little room for a princess and lost myself to gorgeous fabrics and the different stitches on a sewing machine. I’m now on maternity leave and have launched Little Bird’s Loft, so other mummies and daddies can buy gorgeous handmade gifts for their precious little ones and maybe a little something for themselves too. I debuted at the Getthriftys CraftFair in Ickenham in October and now have a busy calendar of events in the lead up to Christmas. New products are being created on a daily basis and at some point I’ll find the time to photograph them all and get them into an online shop but for now, if there’s something you like you can email me to order shona@littlebirdsloft.com.

  1. Ahh I totally get what you mean about buying items with meaning rather than from the chain brands!! There's just a lot more love that's put into unique items and there's something special about knowing it's rare! :) I don't tend to buy stuff that's 'trending' in the shops either I just have my own style that sometiems is in or is totally off the mark haha.

    Fab blog, I'm following you now! :) Will you check my blog out and let me know what you think??
