Christmas is here… And for me, the beauty of this season has always been in the little things: the moments that invite us to slow down, the joy of a handmade detail, and the gift that feels truly personal.
At Elizabeth Scarlett, we believe gifting is an art, made up of thoughtful touches that make every moment feel magical.
This year, we’re celebrating the artisans who share that same spirit - our Joy Makers. Four incredible women who have reimagined our iconic designs through their own craft, transforming familiar motifs into something beautifully their own.
Their work reminds me why I began Elizabeth Scarlett: to honour nature, cherish beauty, and fill the world with keepsakes of joy.
I hope their stories inspire you to gift with heart this Christmas.
Love, Elizabeth x
Meg Fatharly, Artist & Maker of tin decorations
“Magic isn’t always loud or glittering. It hides in the handmade - in the moments that resist rush and automation.”
Through her intricate work with tin, Meg's designs remind us that the smallest details - the touch of a hand, a handwritten note, a smudge of ink - can hold the greatest meaning. Every piece she creates shimmers with light, life and individuality, turning ordinary moments into something magical. She has created a collection of intricate tin decorations inspired by our Golden Trinkets designs.

Dee Omole, Pastry Chef & Founder at Dee’s Basement
“For me, joy is all in the little extras. A handwritten note, a ribbon that feels nice to untie, something homemade tucked in.”
Inspired by our Bow and classic Honey Bee design, from her kitchen in East London Dee has baked beautiful handmade madeleines painted in chocolate with gold details. More than cakes, each of Dee’s creations are tiny, edible works of art, capturing the feeling of warmth, whimsy and the way in which baking invites togetherness. Her creations celebrate the joy of giving something personal, meant to be savoured and shared.
