Lovely handmade cards now available

Hello, My name is Vivienne and I have recently started a small local business making handmade greetings cards.

I live in Melton Mowbray with my two children Mollie and Zac. During lockdown I made birthday cards as I couldn’t find any I liked in the supermarkets. My friends loved them and asked if they could buy some from me!

I was saving for a new kitchen (mine being 20 years old) and it got me thinking that if I could sell my cards in local shops then I may get a new kitchen a little sooner!

I am proud to say my cards are stocked in around 10 local farm shops and village stores. I love making the cards and find it relaxing being creative away from my day job in a bank! I enjoy creating new designs using ribbons, buttons, bees and wooden embellishments to name a few! I’m like a child in a sweetie shop when I have a ‘mooch’ around craft supply shops!

The photo of myself was taken on my Birthday in Paris I couldn’t believe I had found a street named after me along with a bistro and gallery. Very apt and inspiration for my enterprise name.

Thank you for taking the time to look at and buy my cards. Mollie and Zac especially enjoy asking how many cards we have sold each week and I love being a good role model showing that hard work pays off and everything in life is possible.

Vivienne
