Hi, I'm Amanda, an ex-telly mum of two and the face (and pencil!) behind the magical world of Bumbleberry Park.
Bumbleberry Park was born from the joy and magic of childhood, and a love of cosy cuddly babywear with hidden sparkle (is there anything cuter than a baby in a babygrow?!).
Pregnancy in lockdown
When I was pregnant in lockdown with my little girl I found myself creating magical games with my toddler to try to distract us from the chaos outside our four walls.
One day we would fly to the moon for a picnic, the next we would find hidden treasure in our garden, all trying to keep the joy of childhood alive for my two year old.
I was juggling mum life and working across much loved CBeebies shows by day, and started to explore new magical ideas at night...
Late night sketches with a bump
Pregnancy complications along the way meant extra scans alone, appointments and uncertainty and I'd often lay awake unable to sleep cuddling my baby and bump.
One day I found an old empty sketch book and so to help distract my mind, that night I began drawing in the early hours, creating a little world of characters to show my boy the next day. My little bit of joy in the middle of the night.
Life changing perspective
When the time came, our little girl was here and we experienced amazing care when we needed it most through a difficult journey. We were so grateful to have her home and my perspective as a new mum of two had changed forever.
Ever since I’ve been passionate about helping other families just like ours to receive amazing care when they need it most too – and hopefully bring a little fun and magic into everyday.
Bumbleberry Park x Tommy's Pregnancy Charity
Giving is at the heart of Bumbleberry Park. Having never run a business before, I had no idea where to start, and with my sketchbook in hand I started to find my way and I always came back to this same belief.
Reaching out to Tommy's was the first step to find out how I could begin to support them and they've been so supportive since.
I am so grateful for our amazing customers, community, stockists and suppliers joining us in supporting Tommy's together, and creating magical collections for our little ones.
Beautiful baby clothing with hidden sparkle
Fast-forward to now, and our award-winning gifts are loved by hundreds of families around the UK, and help support hundreds more families through Tommy's too.
We couldn't be prouder that we continue to support Tommy’s and donate for every item sold.
I always say as mum's we are all in this together, and so I hope to continue to share tips and hints I've learned along the way, encouraging our amazing community to do the same and help our new mums fly.
Thanks so much for coming on this journey with us from bedroom sketches in lockdown to British Vogue - it's been a real adventure and we're so happy you're here!
