Our Story
Hi, I'm Connie, the proud founder of Cheeky Chickadee and a mum to five amazing children. As a mother, I find endless inspiration in the joy, laughter, and adventures we share as a family. Every day, I'm reminded of the magic and wonder that childhood brings, and it's this spirit that I infuse into every design.
Cheeky Chickadee's journey began when my eldest child was just a baby. In those precious moments between feeding and nurturing, I would steal away to work on my designs, pouring my heart and soul into creating something truly special. Little did I know that this passion project would grow alongside my family.
Living in the sunny northern beaches of Sydney, Australia, I am surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the flora and fauna that make this place so magical. It's from this paradise that I draw inspiration for my animal prints, capturing the whimsy and wonder of Australia's unique wildlife.
Each print is a work of art, meticulously handpainted in vibrant watercolors. I take great pride in the process, ensuring that every stroke reflects the charm and character of the creatures that inspire me. The result? Unique and limited-edition designs that are as playful and enchanting as childhood itself.
As the years went by, my family and my brand grew hand in hand. With the unwavering support of my partner and co-founder, Alex, we navigated the exhilarating and sometimes challenging path of building Cheeky Chickadee. Today, our business celebrates nine wonderful years and continues to thrive, all thanks to the incredible support of our dedicated customers.
Gone are the days of selling from my home and local markets. It's a dream come true to see how far we've come, and I'm excited for the future that awaits us.
At Cheeky Chickadee, we want to make every child feel special and cherished. Our prints are not just fabrics; they are stories waiting to be told, dreams waiting to be worn. We believe in the power of imagination and the joy that comes from embracing one's unique spirit.
I invite you to explore our collection, to immerse yourself in the vibrant prints and the limited-edition pieces that make every child feel like the magical beings they are. Fall in love with the whimsy and let our designs bring a smile to the face of your little ones.
Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey. Your support means the world to me, and I hope that together, we can create lasting memories and fill the world with laughter, love, and the undeniable magic of childhood.
With love,
Connie Xx
