Today, I would like to introduce you all to Helen Wilde, founder and owner of From the Wilde, a business dedicated in all things crafty from wedding invites, jewellery and the more unusual arty designs, each all handmade by a selection of artists from across the UK and places across the world. From the Wilde offers its services nationwide and more recently, internationally.
Having met Helen on Twitter earlier this year, it became apparent that we had more than just Twitter and our businesses in common. I recall mentioning walking my two rather cheeky beagles, Monty and Alfie and low and behold, Helen tells me that she too has a beagle called “Bunty”. From our tweeting I know that Helen would like another beagle to accompany Bunty and I wish her every luck in finding a perfect companion for Bunty (if she hasn’t already found one). It’s not only beagles we share a passion for but our other four legged friend – the horse! I don’t have one as yet but I’m working exceptionally hard to hopefully get one very soon and yes that maybe on Helen’s list too.
Anyway, here is a little bit of information about From the Wilde:-
