THE GIRL BEHIND THE GROGGY OWL
I'm just a girl trying to spread a little joy, one handmade jewellery piece at a time. The Groggy Owl began with my passion for all things handmade, and a desire to get away from mass-produced, generic accessories. I make each piece by hand in small batches, using locally-sourced and recycled materials wherever I can.
Currently, The Groggy Owl is primarily a one woman show. Meaning I do everything from product design, creation, photography, marketing, social media advertising, packaging, modelling, customer service - you name it! However, during my busy market season - I do have the help of my amazing & talented business partner - my mom. Learn more about us below.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Much love,
