About Us


 

Hi, I’m Victoria Munt, aka 'Toria' the creator behind this little corner of handmade joy.

I sell crystals, crochet, and handmade jewellery, each piece crafted with care, intention, and a whole lot of heart, oh and I love hats!

Living with several chronic illnesses — including EDS, chronic migraines, gastroparesis, anxiety, depression, and Molaret’s meningitis — has shaped my journey in ways I never expected. After experiencing a CSF leak, I’ve been unable to work or attend markets, so I decided to pour my energy into building a small business from home. Creativity has become not just a passion, but a lifeline.

I’ve been crocheting for over 20 years, using the gentle rhythm of yarn and hook as a way to relax and soothe my pain. Jewellery making came later; I taught myself woven wire work and seed bead techniques and fell in love with the process. There’s something magical about watching raw materials transform into something meaningful — especially when I see someone wearing a piece I created with my own hands.

Despite living with chronic pain since the age of 12, I’ve achieved a PhD in Design Engineering and Analytical Chemistry, and I’m proud of the resilience that brought me here. My story is proof that life after chronic illness is still rich, creative, and full of possibility.

Every crochet piece, every crystal, every handcrafted item in my shop carries a bit of that belief — that beauty and purpose can grow even in difficult circumstances.

Thank you for being here and supporting my journey. It means more than you know.
