About Funky Fairies
Hello !!! And thanks for visiting Funky Fairies.
Funky Fairies started in 2002 at the back of my garage, I called myself 'Made by Lisa'. I've always been very arty / crafty & decided to make my own birth announcements when my second child was born in Jan 2002. I then really got the 'making cards bug' and made cards for every possible occasion. I was constantly told by friends that I should be selling these...so that's what I did!! I put a portfolio together of general greetings cards and approached lots of local companies. Gifts and crafts shops & large offices with inhouse shops. I always attended local arts & crafts fayres and had also started making personalised Photo Albums. Many people approached me and asked if I made Wedding Stationery too, which really got me thinking.... |

...in 2003 I decided to really go for it....Funky Fairies was created, I booked my first Wedding Fair at Thorpe Park in Feb 2004 and this was to be my big launch. It was such a hit that we extended the house to have a purpose built studio at the side. Somewhere where I could shut myself away, work and also an area where I could have clients visit.
I wanted the company to be very 'me'........... .pink, fun and girly!!! This is what I love designing and making the most. I adore my job and love it when I get a new challenge from a client. I'm always coming up with new ideas & finding new inspiration.
Now heading towards 2007, I've now got the online shop with lots of other goodies and have several people working for me. My passion is still very much making and creating things, so there will always be new designs and improvements being added.
I hope you like the site, if you have any suggestions, ideas or feedback, please do contact me, it's always great to hear what other people think.
Good Luck with your wedding plans.
Lots of love
