How long have you been in business?
The business was started in August last year (2010).
What items do you sell?
We sell a variety of nursery decorations, accessories and keepsakes, specialising in wooden wall letters. All our items are lovingly handmade and can be custom made to match any nursery theme and the majority of them can be personalised.
Tell us about 2 of your favourite products or best sellers.
Our top seller by far are the wooden wall letters; made to spell out your child's name they are the perfect personal touch for a nursery or bedroom and make a lovely keepsake that can be treasured for years. In particular the 22cm wooden letters show greater popularity, probably due to the fact that the larger surface area allows for more intricate designs and even characters to be painted onto them.
My personal favourites are the little felt creations. Each and every one is sewed by hand with love and care to make up cute little accessories that are great gifts for adults as well as children.

How did you get started/what made you start your own business?
I was pregnant with my little inspiration, Evie, facing single parenthood on a small budget. I wanted all the beautiful trinkets and accessories for her that were available on the high street but simply couldn't afford the high prices so instead I decided to harness my creativity and make my own special pieces for her. Once I'd got started I realised how much I loved getting stuck into crafts and saw the potential in it as a business. My passion for helping others create a unique and personal environment for their children in an affordable way combined with the fact that it meant I could stay at home with my daughter for as long as business kept coming made the prospect irresistible and so Evie's Baby Boutique was born a few short months before Evie herself.
Do you personally handmake all your items or do you also have help?
All our items are made within the family. I personally handpaint each and every letter, my dear Mum sews the felt creations and my Grandfather is the woodworking expert! Occasionally my partner will get his hands dirty too and I'm sure as soon as Evie is old enough to hold a paintbrush steady she'll be helping as well, so it really is a business nurtured within our family.
How can you be contacted?
