🤍New collection🤍 Heirloom by Cuddle Me Keeps 🤍New collection🤍 Heirloom by Cuddle Me Keepsakes🤍

I’m so pleased to (finally) be sharing this new collection of keepsakes with you 🧸 Introducing ‘Heirloom by Cuddle Me Keepsakes’, a new special collection of handmade traditional teddy bears incorporating your most treasured items of clothing to be cherished for generations.

Handmade from a super soft cuddle plush (available in a range of colours), each Heirloom Friend is made using traditional teddy-bear-making techniques and are perfect if you have a limited number of treasured clothing items, even as few as one, or simply love the more traditional classic teddy bear design.

Each Heirloom Friend is five-way jointed, feature black glass eyes and a hand embroidered nose, are finished with a beautiful hand-dyed silk ribbon and are presented in their very own dust bag🤍

The collection currently includes Heirloom Bear 🧸and Heirloom Bunny 🐰 but watch this space for a new Heirloom Friend joining the collection soon…

If you already have a space for your keepsake to be made and would like to change to an Heirloom Friend, please just pop me a message and (providing I haven’t begun working on your keepsake) I can arrange this.

If you would like to order a keepsake from the Heirloom collection, please sign up to my newsletter (link in bio), where you’ll be the first to know when I re-open for new orders.

Thank you so much for continuing to trust me with your treasured clothing 🤍 and I’d love to know what you think of the new Heirloom collection!

Wow! I am so grateful to all of you who signed up Wow! I am so grateful to all of you who signed up to be the first to know when I re-opened for new orders and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I am now fully booked for 2022! Thank you! 🤍

It continues to blow my mind how all you lovely people wait so patiently for me to open, I really am so grateful! 🤍

All confirmations have now been sent so if you haven’t heard from me please do check your junk (they seem to have a habit of landing in there) and do get in touch with me anytime 📩

I know I’ve said it before, but I’ve never set out to make the most keepsakes and have a big ‘production line’, feeling like I’m rushing one ready to start the next. It’s just me, in my happy place each evening, working around looking after a young family, and I’m so sorry to those of you who I couldn’t offer a space to this time, but I am always more than happy to recommend other keepsake makers 😌

If you’d like to be the first to know when I next re-open for new orders, please sign up to my newsletter - link in bio. I’ll always announce there before announcing on social media etc.

Thank you so much again, I really am so grateful and I can’t wait to begin creating all of your beautiful keepsakes soon! Leah x

These handsome bears are now back in their forever homes for twin brothers Henry and Ralph, full of special memories of their first year 🧸 🧸 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Henry and Ralph’s Mummy gave me free reign to design and create these special bears, so I thought it would be lovely to make them co-ordinating but with little touches of differences. I also love that they include fabric from the twins’ feeding pillow - as their Mummy said, they spent a lot of time on there, especially in the early days! As always, I’m so grateful to be trusted with your treasured clothing 💙
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope they’ve brightened up your feed this Wednesday just as the sun has hopefully brightened up your day wherever you are today! It looks like summer might now be on the way, just in time for half term! ☀️ Who else is soooo ready for some sunshine 🙋🏻‍♀️ x
Package a keepsake with me! Does anyone else rol Package a keepsake with me! 

Does anyone else roll their eyes when their kids are watching clips on YouTube of other kids opening surprise eggs? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Well it seems I have the opposite obsession - I love watching small business reels of their lovely products being beautifully packaged! So if you share my love, hopefully you’ll enjoy packaging this keepsake with me 😉

I always seem to be tinkering with my packaging and always strive to ensure it’s environmentally friendly. Each keepsake comes in a protective cotton dust bag to keep it safe and snug when not on display, and is then carefully packaged with 100% recycled white tissue paper. Even the branded stickers I use are fully recyclable and biodegradable thanks to the fabulous @nellyandted. All tied together with a twine ribbon and a couple of sprigs of lavender to keep your keepsake fresh for the journey home 💐 Hopefully it feels as special when you receive it as all the memories held inside 🤍
This pretty Elephant has me dreaming of packing my This pretty Elephant has me dreaming of packing my own suitcase and heading off to the sunshine! (If only we could) ☀️ 

I hope she’s brightened up your feed on this dreary Saturday May morning! Come on great British summer - where are you? 💐 

Another absolute joy to make! 🐘 Elephants are proving so popular at the moment with those big beautiful ears and trunk full of precious memories 😌 

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend (despite the rain)! x

You lovely people just keep wowing me with the most beautiful baby clothes you send me to turn in to treasured keepsakes. I think I say every part of the process is my favourite when making keepsakes 😉, but I really do love working with the patterns and colours of the clothes to make sure I place them in the best possible and most balanced way to compliment each other and create keepsakes that are classic and timeless. This was another absolute joy to make 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And doesn’t she look fabulous with this beautiful blanket from @isla_and_fraser, a brand I stumbled across and fell in love with immediately 🤍 They make the most beautifully knitted organic cotton blankets - I wish they’d been around when my three were babies but thankfully they do ‘big knits’, perfect for us all to snuggle under because you can never have too many blankets! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy Wednesday - I hope you’ve all been enjoying the fresh Spring air today! 💐 x
