Life got tough so, I started a small business... Hi I'm Elle..

 

Define: Utopia noun ☆ ☺ an imagined place of things in which everything is perfect ☺ ☆

Hey I'm Elle, owner of Our Forever Utopia. I sell funky & colourful handmade and hand painted home decor. Most of the fun items you see have been made either from scratch or hand painted by me in the studio aka the spare bedroom in our beautiful home. I started the business in 2019 selling dreamcatchers and then quickly moved into hand painted plant pots. in 2020 i sold my first hand painted vase and in the last 5 years I've expanded to keychains, mirrors, candles, coasters, photo holders, magnets. pins and I've got lots more to come!

Life got a little tough. I was diagnosed with morton's neuroma, which is nerve damage and inflammation  in my foot around the same time i started my little business. I can't walk far without being in pain which gets worse the longer i stand/walk which as you can imagine makes it difficult to work most jobs, even sitting can be uncomfortable! I was spending a lot of time at home and home decor has always made me happy, so I wanted to bring people happiness through my art. I really wanted to make homeware pieces that you couldn't buy anywhere else. Unique and colourful designs for all of you colourful souls out there.

Since starting the business, I finally have a purpose and feel happier, and for that, I'm forever grateful to my customers for helping me manifest this little coincidence to make an income for my family. Thank you for supporting me ❤
