About Me...

 

Thank you for visiting Fru Fru Tulip, my name is Di and I have been making lampshades from genuine vintage fabrics since 2015.  

I love vintage and our home is very much vintage themed and colourful, full of things that make me smile, absolutely no matching going on here!

I also love learning new skills, I just can't help myself and I always have an extensive pile of on going vintage projects and new things to learn (silver making jewellery is next) much to my family's dismay!

I am very much inspired by vintage textiles and wanted to create some fun retro designs for homewares and everyday items using the retro vibe, designs that are bright and cheerful.

Using these designs I established Freckled Flower & Co in 2020, I didn't want to mix these new designs with Fru Fru Tulip because, although vintage inspired they weren't actual vintage.

Freckled Flower & Co has been hugely successful and it wasn't until recently, inspired by my gorgeous Nephew that I decided to put all my handmade, genuine vintage, vintage inspired items into one shop, under one Fru Fru Tulip umbrella.  

The website is everything created, designed and, most importantly handmade, by me in my East Sussex studio.

You will find a whole range of items using varies techniques such as, screen printing, sublimation, laser cutting/engraving, sewing, heat transfer vinyl and lampshade making, with new items being added regularly.

Enjoy looking, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me, and if you are local to Lewes my studio is always open!

Love you bye x
