As parents, we cannot help but wonder at the infinite beauty of our newborn's tiny hands and feet, the unforgettable softness of their skin and the exquisite delicacy of those precious, miniature fingers and toes.

After giving birth to my second child in March 1999, I realised just how fleeting those early moments are.

Using totally safe, non-toxic materials, I started playing around with creating some moulds of my new baby daughter's and toddler son's hands and feet. I finally came up with exactly what I was after. Beautiful, lasting memories of their precious little digits.

With much excitement and encouragement from my family, friends and new mothers group, I decided to enlist the help of my good friend Natalie to help create more of these treasured masterpieces. We both realised this could be a wonderful service to offer all parents, while still being able to care for our little ones at home.

We set about taking moulds of every young baby and child we knew, until eventually perfecting our technique.

In January 2000, was created!!!

Since then, our business has been steadily growing. So far we have produced over 10,000 original pieces and have work displayed in several locations, including some maternity hospitals and childcare centres. Our gift certificates are also proving to be very popular.

Our very supportive husbands call us pedantic, but we know just how precious each piece is to our customers, and demand only our finest efforts. We are very proud of our quality of work, value and personal service and are delighted to find our customers agree we're second to none.
