About The Sunshine Bindery

Founded in 2018, The Sunshine Bindery has grown into a beautiful blend of delightfully quirky, uplifting and Earth-kind stationery, journals and gifts for the wild and joyfully curious, all designed and created with love by UK-based illustrator and book maker Mell Oliver. With a heart to uplift and encourage kindness to people and planet, all of my products are designed by me and crafted using recycled, sustainable and locally sourced materials as much as possible, while choosing to champion plastic free and biodegradable packaging so as to lessen my impact on the environment where I can. Inspired by the beauty found in nature, the calming practice of creative journaling and self care, as well as the joy of nurturing our unique self-expression, my work is a blend of warming tones, motivational lettering, botanical motifs and playful pattern design. When I'm not in my studio creating magic, I'm out and about in nature with my life partner Jon, our self-built campervan Maisie, our well-worn hiking boots and a hot flask of tea! So much inspiration for my work comes from our adventures together, whether it be getting lost in a beautiful forest, taking a wild dip in quiet lake with our paddleboards or hiking up a mountain to drink in the incredible views.
