🌿 A New Direction — Back to My Roots

Sometimes, the best direction to take is the one that brings you back to yourself.

Cheshire Home Trinkets has been on quite a journey, and so have I.

Back in 2002, I qualified as a Holistic Therapist and became a Reiki Master/Teacher. Holistics, Reiki and everything connected to that world were a huge part of who I was.

For a while, I was self-employed, doing holistic therapies and Reiki. Then, completely by chance, I was asked to do a tester session at a women's refuge.

That one little opportunity changed the direction of my working life.

It led me into an administration and finance role there, initially part-time, while I continued with my holistic work and Reiki quietly behind the scenes.

And then came 2012.

I found myself looking for a bit of adventure and decided to return to Ireland. A new chapter began, and I moved into the corporate world.

My holistic work didn't disappear, though.

It simply changed.

Holistics and Reiki became my hobby rather than my job. The crystals, incense, rituals, spirituality and all the things that had always brought me peace and happiness remained part of my life, even while my working life took me in a completely different direction.

Then came 2025...

I found myself back in the UK and, once again, wondering what direction life was going to take me in.

I'd always wanted to create something of my own, and so Cheshire Home Trinkets began to grow.

At first, I approached it like a business.

What do people want to buy?

What products are popular?

What should I be selling?

What will people like?

And the more I thought about it, the more I realised something...

That's not really me.

I didn't start Cheshire Home Trinkets because I wanted to create just another online shop.

I wanted to create something that felt like me.

So I've decided to bring things back to their roots.

🌿 The things I genuinely love.

🔮 Crystals and mystical treasures.

🪔 Incense and beautiful scents.

🌙 Bohemian and pagan-inspired pieces.

✨ Holistic and spiritual treasures.

🕯️ Things that create a cosy, peaceful atmosphere.

💜 And little things that simply make me happy.

Some of these things have been part of my life for over 20 years.

And now I want to bring them into Cheshire Home Trinkets.

A little more heart, a little less trying to fit in

This doesn't mean I'm getting rid of everything else.

I still love the handmade gifts, mugs, bags, personalised pieces and all the other little treasures that have helped Cheshire Home Trinkets grow.

But I'm allowing the shop to become more personal.

I'm no longer going to worry quite so much about what I think I should be selling.

Instead, I'm going to choose things that I love, things that make me smile and things that I would genuinely want in my own home.

Because perhaps that's the whole point.

If something brings me joy, maybe it can bring a little joy to someone else too.

If a crystal catches someone's eye, an incense scent reminds them to slow down, or a little bohemian treasure makes their home feel more like their home, then that's what Cheshire Home Trinkets is really about.

Coming back to what makes me happy

After all these years, it feels quite special to be bringing this part of myself back into my life.

My Reiki and holistic journey may have taken a few twists and turns.

I've worked in different places, lived in different countries, followed different paths and had completely different careers.

But perhaps it was never really lost.

It was just waiting for the right time to come back.

So, as Cheshire Home Trinkets moves into this new chapter, I'm going back to my roots.

Back to the things that inspire me.

Back to the things that make me feel at home.

Back to the things that make me happy.

And hopefully, along the way, I can share a little bit of that happiness, comfort and magic with you too.

Welcome to the new direction of Cheshire Home Trinkets. 🌿🔮✨

Little treasures. A little magic.
