Can I order a personalized mug with a message or drawing?

Yes. The mug is hand-painted with the chosen message or illustration, and the design is confirmed through a sketch before execution. After painting, the design is heat-fixed.

Do you make mărțișor in bulk for companies or schools?

Yes, within reasonable limits. For larger quantities, the design is replicated while keeping the handmade feel; please get in touch in advance so I can estimate the delivery time.

How long does a custom Christmas decoration set take?

A small set (8–12 pieces) usually takes 1–2 weeks. For larger orders or a very specific palette, the timeline is agreed when the order is placed.

Do crepe paper flowers last in time?

Yes. Unlike fresh flowers, crepe paper bouquets keep their shape and color for years if they are kept away from excessive humidity and direct sunlight.

Hand-painted ceramic and porcelain

Mugs, plates and decorative objects are hand-painted with a unique design, heat-fixed for durability. It is a great fit for personalized gifts — with a name, a date or an illustration — and for everyday objects that accompany small daily gestures: the morning coffee mug, the plate that holds the birthday cake. The design is discussed and sketched out for approval beforehand.

Mărțișor and seasonal pieces

Mărțișor is a Romanian tradition that opens spring on the 1st of March. The mărțișor gallery gathers hundreds of handmade designs in different techniques and materials — embroidered, painted, sculpted in clay, combined with beads or flowers. For companies, schools or collective gifts, designs can be replicated in small batches while keeping each piece handmade.

Christmas decorations and engraved eggs

Hand-painted Christmas decorations — baubles, ornaments and arrangements — can be adapted to a chosen tree theme or palette, giving the whole décor a unified feel. Engraved eggs revisit a Romanian craft with a high level of detail and work both as Easter gifts and as decorative pieces year-round.

Crepe paper flowers

Crepe paper flowers blend patience with a painter's sense of color. They make long-lasting gift bouquets, event décor or interior arrangements, and can be composed on a chosen color palette together with the client.
