I aim to provide products and experiences that encourage a quiet and considered way of life.

To evoke a lifestyle that puts the focus on treasuring what and who we have in front of us.

A Quiet Life came about as a result of my own desire for a more intentional, less distracted way of living. My services and products are for those who appreciate quality, well-made goods that last a lifetime. A Quiet Life is for those who enjoy timeless and considered aesthetics with an understated and practical essence.  

Although I had been searching for second hand finds for years, it was during the planning of my own wedding that I began to appreciate how using these beautiful objects could elevate an event, adding a sense of distinctive personality and curation. As opposed to simply buying new, I prefer to source items that are timeless, and have already been enjoyed by many. I like to think that these items have held meaning to others, and carry that value and sentiment with them as they are reused.

I am excited to give you the opportunity to express yourself with my collection and help you curate your own joyful celebrations.

Along with an offering of props for you to hire I will also be creating hand made objects and original artworks for you to purchase. I hope the things I create feel like treasures you want to hold on to and enjoy for years to come. My painting practice has taken a bit of a back seat over the past few years so I am excited to delve into that more and create artworks that are reflective of me and my interests.

The name A Quiet Life is taken from a verse of the Bible found in 1 Thessalonians 4:11, it reads:

This should be your ambition: to live a quiet life, minding your own business and doing your own work,
just as we told you before.

To me this quiet life isn’t one of shying away, not speaking out, or reclusiveness - it is one of quiet strength and purpose, it doesn't get caught up in other people’s affairs, meddle where it shouldn’t or lose focus. It speaks of taking time to do what matters most, spending time with loved ones and taking care in all the things you do. I want more of that for my life, maybe you do too.
