Hello, and thank you for joining me on my journey. My name is Charmain and I love making things that bring others joy. ❤️ After over 15 years experience as a graphic designer, I still haven’t found an off-switch for the creative process (other than knocking myself out 😅), and handmade craft has become a natural extension of that trait. 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 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 include more digital products very soon), so please be patient and bear with me! 🙏

Perhaps I'm just adding to all the castles 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 templates to download, along with natural beauty and money-saving lifestyle tips which I hope will inspire you. 💡

Once again, your support is very much appreciated, and I look forward to your next visit.
