Announcement
Welcome to Modestly where you can find one off original gifts and cards. Original watercolours are now listed as well as my handmade books and cards. Every handmade book I make is unique, designed often with my own illustrations, and hand bound. I started creating my handmade books over ten years ago, and have enjoyed designing books that reflect my curiosity in the world around us and in art and literature. I also collaborate with clients on personal requests.
All my greetings cards can be personalised with any wording on the designs and inside too! So they are categorised by design rather than occasion. You can have any greeting you want! ..( and I print inside greetings too at no additional cost!)
I design and make handmade books, Birthday cards, Custom made cards, Artist cards, Wedding gifts, Christening gifts, engagement gifts, birthday gifts and anniversary gifts, and I personalise them to make them extra special. Gift giving is all about connection, and I love the opportunity creating handmade goods allowing for that.
I love to make my cards special to the recipient and can include a greeting or poem on the inside, and often incorporate a greeting on the design of the card too. It is always special to receive a card, and how much more when it is an artist illustration tailored to your requirements!
I am now adding original watercolour paintings to my shop - obviously these are one of a kind, so may not always be available - dependant on what I produce!
I love to create items that will not be replicated anywhere, reflecting as they do my personal interests in history, philosophy, art, literature, nature and photography. A handmade book is a keepsake that creates a connection between the commissioner, the maker and the recipient. It is imbibed with the care and thought that has gone into it's creation and it's purchase.

5 out of 5 starsAnne produced a beautiful special commission book for me & the whole process from start to finish was a pleasure. I will treasure the finished book and would definitely recommend this service if you are after something unique. Anne’s books are all beautiful but it was so exciting to have one put together especially for me! Thank you Anne.

5 out of 5 starsEverything perfect - thank you so much - will be ordering more very soon. In a world of cheaply produced books (glued pages falling out etc) it is a joy to find a handcrafted item that will last a lifetime & beyond. These will be heirloom items for book collectors in years to come.

5 out of 5 starsEverything perfect - I purchased two of these - one for myself & a personalised one to gift to a friend. Anne took great care with the personalised inscription and I am very excited about being able to present it as an extra special gift. Thank you Anne for creating these lovely books - they are certainly things to treasure.
