i met Amie, from Hommage Stationery, last year at the Hamilton once-a-month craft market and i totally drooled all over her table. i recently emailed her enquiring about one of her products and she said she remembered me (cleaning up someone's drool would kinda make them memorable i suppose!)
what really struck me was Amie's level of professionalism and high standard of presentation. that day i ended up (finally!) buying some christmas labels, bakers twine and a 'LOVE' stamp - i used the labels and twine (reluctantly!) on my christmas baking gifts last year:
but, i'll let Amie introduce herself properly:
Hello! My name is Amie Cholmondeley-Smith and I live in Hamilton, New Zealand with my husband Brooke and beautiful 16 month old son Miller.
Ever since I was very young, stationery has always captivated me and even as an adult the pure simplicity of ink on beautiful paper has inspired me to create my own unique range of stationery.
I started Hommage Stationery Co. five years ago creating boutique wedding stationery and more recently lovingly handcrafted vintage recycled rimu stamps, spools of bakers twine, notebooks and gift tags, which all hold a sense of old-school charm and nostalgia. I am a graphic designer and while I am not playing mum I am creating, designing, playing with paper and drinking lots of tea!
Please visit my FELT store to see my range of products. I can also, on request, make custom rimu stamps.
ENJOY!
