kooky boutique = a one girl production line, the girl being me, miss leslieanne. (why so formal? 'miss leslieanne' was one of those nicknames that ended up sticking, and I quite like it. simple as that.)

I'm based down on the south coast of england, living with my man, my baby boy & my dog.

I'm a stay at home mummy and juggle making things with taking care of my little monster. Life is never dull, often hectic, and mostly powered by coffee and biscuits.

I've had passions for fashion & art & making things for as long as I can remember, always cutting & sticking, designing & doodling.  I started making jewellery when I was about 12, and when I first

ventured into selling online, that's pretty much all that was on offer.  But, evolution is inevitable.

Nowadays, my weapons of choice are usually beads, buttons, fabrics  and papers - with a few surprises thrown in here and there to keep things interesting.

As a result, I'm now also selling cards, accessories, art prints, and who knows what next.

I take a great deal of pride in my work, use only top quality materials, & would never offer for sale something I wouldn't be happy to buy myself.

Other than my boys & making things, the loves of my life include music, fashion, floral prints, chocolate,butterflies, flowers, birds, originality and imagination.

Anything else you need/want to know, just ask :)
