Moobaacluck

Welcome to Moobaacluck - handmade happiness! Gifts and stationery for children and the young at heart designed by Gabriella Buckingham.

I have been illustrating magazines, greeting cards and children’s books for nearly 20 years. In 2008 I began making personalised gifts for my children's friends and decided to call the phledgling business “Moobaacluck – Handmade Happiness”, reflecting the fact that I was using a lot of farm animal imagery in the beginning! The sustainable birch wooden shapes are cut to my design by a wonderful old gentleman called Les who also lives in Norfolk. Each piece is designed with children and the young at heart in mind and is entirely made by hand. I use organic paint and some acrylic.The aim is to make pieces that you or your loved ones want to keep forever and perhaps even pass down the generations.

I work from an octagonal summerhouse at the bottom of my "work in progress" garden in North Norfolk, ten minutes from the sea; with butterflies, nettles, bees, two rabbits and spiders for company.

Moobaacluck includes a collection of illustrated greeting cards printed and hand glittered to order,postcards, prints and personalised decorations.
