Since the birth of my children, I’ve become more conscious about the items I fill our home with. I wanted to create an intentional living space—one that’s not only functional but filled with meaningful, timeless, and classic pieces. The goal was to avoid clutter, particularly from plastic toys or items that didn’t serve a purpose beyond momentary enjoyment. Instead, I began to focus on crafting things myself—beautiful, lasting pieces that could be cherished for years to come.
One of my favorite handmade creations that embodies this philosophy is a bunting banner I made for our children when they were younger. Crafted from 100% wool felt and Liberty of London fabric, it was the perfect blend of beauty, quality, and durability. We used it to decorate the tree branches outside during their birthday parties or festive holidays, bringing a touch of elegance to our outdoor space. We also used it to decorate their bedrooms, adding a natural elegance with a whimsical and timeless vibe to their playing and sleeping space.
What’s remarkable is that these banners have withstood the test of time. For almost 10 years, they’ve hung proudly in the branches of our trees, season after season. Despite enduring the elements, the colors are as vibrant as ever, a testament to the high-quality materials of Liberty of London and 100% wool felt used as the ingredients and the love put into their creation. It’s a perfect example of how something handmade in small batches and thoughtfully designed and mindfully crafted can stand the test of time—not only in terms of physical durability but also in its timeless appeal.
In today’s world, it's so easy to fill our homes with fast, disposable items, but creating high-quality, handmade products that can last through many years brings a sense of pride and fulfillment. By choosing to make or invest in pieces that matter, we not only enrich our living spaces but also cultivate an environment that reflects what we truly love and cherish. Whether it's a piece of home décor or a toy, the joy comes not just from what we create, but from knowing it will last—a lasting reminder of the memories we’ve built along the way and a gentler legacy footprint for the Earth.
