Let customers speak for us
from 145 reviewsA beautifully different calendar where a lot of thought has been put into each component. The individual artworks are incredible and then can be repurposed and live on as a gift card. The calendar sparks joy!
Corinne created the most beautiful Alphabet Name pictures for my two nieces’ first babies — they are truly special keepsakes. The quality, the humour in the depiction of each creature , and attention to detail are very special and represent just some of the astonishing diversity of wildlife we have in South Africa.
Corinne was also incredibly efficient and helpful throughout the whole online purchasing process. She very generously gave houseroom to one picture until I was able to collect it, some months later, and the dispatch of the second one, to Australia, was quick and seamless.
Thank you, Corinne, for such a wonderful experience and gorgeous work!
Looks great. Can't wait for the framing to be complete
A beautiful calendar which can be repurposed - fabulous idea.
Beautiful drawings!
The beautiful artwork, thoughtfully chosen quotes, meticulous attention to detail, and creative upcycling options make this calendar truly special, and a personal favourite. I order it every year!
Great design.
The artwork is so special. I can easily recommend it to anyone. You'll love it too.
We ordered the Alphabet Name. It is just so beautiful. Makes such an amazing present .
From start to finish, Corinne's service is excellent! The order was placed, and received within days. I was updated every step of the way.
I am so happy with what I ordered. The drawings are gorgeous, and my 3 grandchildren are going to be so happy with their gifts!
Thank you Corinne!!
Amazing poster! It is so fun and detailed. Courier was next day. Great service...and a hand written thank you note! Excellent!
The prints were so good the framer asked if they were originals! I got 2 names, one for my daughter and one for her cousin and they both came through fast and look gorgeous! I am having them framed for Christmas now and can't wait to see them on the wall. Thank you so much - this will truly be an amazing and unique gift :)
Fantastic personalized service and a wonderfully special product
Corinne was extremely prompt with my order and has put together a beautiful poster of my granddaughter’s name. Perfect packaging for travelling overseas with.
The names are beautiful.
