2025 is the year I finally put my earrings on Etsy! I've got my baubles on there (that sounds rude) but never liked the way I photographed/catalogued my earrings. However, I have made a small dent last night by listing these beauties, but hey! we are striving for progress not perfection! Check out my Etsy if any of these catch your eye to brighten up a gloomy Jan✨

Hi everyone 👋🏼 I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! 🎄✨

I had so many plans to post festive content this year, but in true Evelyn style, time completely ran away from me! Honestly, though, this Christmas has felt a little different for me. I’ve been in a bit of a funk, and I can’t quite figure out why. Normally, I’m pretty good at pinpointing what’s going on, but not this time—and I know that’s normal, but I still don’t like it!🫠

I feel so lucky to have spent Christmas surrounded by all my loved ones, yet I’ve still felt off. It’s such a strange feeling—like I should be filled with all the festive cheer and happy sparkles, but it's just not syncing with my brain. I don’t really know why I’m sharing this, but in my little corner of the internet, I like to share all the emotions, not just the glitz and I guess I wanted to put it out there in case someone else is feeling the same. If you’re not feeling quite yourself, wondering why you’re not on top of the world right now, just know you’re not alone. And keep checking in on loved ones, I often forget this time of year as it's crazy and we expect everyone is happy/excited but it's not always the case ❤️

Anyway, as I'm typing this I'm sitting near our Christmas tree and as I was looking at it, I spotted three baubles I've made over the years. The ceramic one was a COVID craft from 2020, the pink Dad one must have been two years ago (I made it before I started Ev And Grow) and then the fabric one in the corner is from this year. It's a bit of an experiment and I love it so you may see some more of that soon.

Love, Evelyn x

does anyone else head to bed, start getting ready to sleep and then have a random idea for a product and because they have an awful memory and raging ADHD, they have to start making it there and then, so out come all the sparkly stuff, beads, sequins and ribbon - only for it to look like it was something a four year old made? no? okay? fair enough.

also, we are just going to label it as a "prototype" so I don't faff about till 5 am and wonder why the birds are chirping 🥲

This is the face of a maker who just got her first EVER Etsy sale from a complete stranger!! 🤯💖 (1st pic is insta vs 2nd pic which was more like my face in reality when I saw the email)

Like, an actual person who doesn't know me saw something I created in my mind, turned into reality with my hands, and put out there for the world to judge—and decided to spend their hard-earned money on it. WOW!

I know people get Etsy sales all the time, but for me, this is such a huge milestone. It feels so surreal, and I couldn’t be more proud! 🥹

I don't have much listed on my Etsy at the moment but I'll be listing more and more as and when I have time.

Lately, I've been hitting so many "firsts" on this journey, and moments like this remind me why I started.

Thank you to everyone who supports small businesses. When you shop small, you don’t just buy a product—you create these unforgettable moments for makers like me. 💕

Here's to celebrating the little (and big) wins✨✨✨✨

Yesterday we had a trip up to Market Deeping to see some family and we visited this amazing shop with the bestest fabric selection! The variety and quality of fabrics are absolutely stunning, and I couldn't resist getting my hands on some.

These beautiful textiles are perfect for some upcoming projects I have planned, and I can't wait to transform them into creations. There's nothing like finding an amazing selection of fabric in unexpected places! ✨

✨✨Discs of joy✨✨

How satisfying do the earrings discs look displayed like this?! This is before they get put onto hoops so they can be adorned by you lovely lot!

Which one is your favourite? Comment below with the coordinates and let me know. I have to admit that I find it so hard to pick a favourite but I absolutely adore G4. It's a Liberty Fabric cult classic and if I could, I'd upholster everything I own in that fabric 😊💖✨

ANNOUNCEMENT 📢📢🗣️🗣️

Today we premièred our necklace charms for the first time! I have so many people compliment my earrings but say that they don't have their ears pierced.

I'm still figuring out the logistics and researching what chains to get to sell these as a complete necklace. But for now, these double sided beauties can be adorned on whatever you please!

Let me know which one is your favourite, I'll be making more in the next coming weeks!

Yesterday was my first ever 'big girl stall'. I've done small events around me locally but this was the first event in Norwich. To say I was nervous was an understatement. What if people don't like my stuff? What if I don't sell a thing? Ahhh!

But it went great! I met some of the loveliest people, purchases were made and I'm now bursting with ideas for the next one!

As always, thank you to my family for helping me set up and those that came down to support! You guys are the best!! ✨✨✨✨

We've had a busy few days at Ev and Grow HQ. Two fairs in two days meant that it was all hands on deck and I had the best worker bees on the case to help do the last minute prep.

It's a Friday night tradition for us all to bundle round my grandparents house for takeaway. So we commandeered Nan's dining room table afterwards and got to work.

I honestly have the best support from my family and friends. There is no way I could do it without them, so this is a little appreciation post for them as they make all this possible ✨✨

This is my therapy. ✂️✨ There's just something about finding beautiful fabrics and imagining all the things they could become. 🌈 I always wonder about the story behind the thrifted fabrics I find—what were they before they found me? Were they once part of someone’s favorite dress? A set of vintage curtains? How old are they, and what memories do they hold? There’s so much history woven into these pieces, and I love giving them a new life. 🧵✨ If you’re into handmade treasures with their own story, check out @evandgrow. What’s your therapy?
