Come fly with me... 🦋
Hello, and thank you for joining me on my journey. My name is Charmain and I love making things that bring others joy. ❤️ Over 20 years as a graphic designer has made me realise that being in creative overdrive is pretty much my default mode ⚙️, but rather than look for an off-switch, I chose to embrace it and naturally broadened my horizons to include handmade craft. For many years, opening a gift shop has been one of my biggest dreams. My other lifelong wish is to travel into space 🚀, but I think we can all agree that for now it's best to start from the ground up! ✨
Like many sellers on Etsy, crafting began as a hobby for me. Initially, all I wanted to do was add a few personal touches to presents for friends and family 🎁 but pretty soon I was bursting with ideas and many Blue Peter moments later, Cocoon UK was born. 🦋
I did a very brief trial run before Christmas in 2015, and all my items were quickly sold out. After a prolonged hiatus due to other commitments, I am now back again to re-launch my shop. 🎉 As you can tell, I am still very new to running a business and for the time-being, can only produce a small volume of stock (though I plan to introduce more products, including digital ones, very soon), so please be patient and bear with me! 🙏
Perhaps my castle is just one of the multitudes already in the sky... Perhaps my shop won't take off at all, but I'd still like to think I've put a smile on a few faces. 😊
If you'd like to find out more about me and my raison d'être, please visit cocoonuk.blog to read about my adventures (both artistic 🎨 and otherwise), and preview new products. I also share many tutorials, recipes, and downloadable templates for various projects, along with natural beauty and money-saving lifestyle tips which I hope will inspire you. 💡
Once again, thank you for being the wind that helps my little business soar. Your support is very much appreciated, and I look forward to your next visit.
