”Sacha was very helpful with which hair fork/pin would work best for my hair. Excellent customer service, and very helpful. My hair pin is absolutely stunning. Such a beautiful wood, and the care and attention to detail is evident. The story of the tree and saving as much as possible is true sustainability. I will use for many years, and will be back to add to my collection.“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.” ~ Carrie Woodward ~ 7th January 2025

“I am delighted with my Ruffle Edged Lobelia Lantern. It is unique, beautiful and ethereal. The wooden base really sets off the lantern, and gives a beautiful glow. I love that it also possible to use a tea light, either natural or rechargeable, meaning the lantern can be placed anywhere in the home, which makes this so versatile. I love that it is sustainably hand-crafted with homegrown flowers - bringing the garden into the home. Customer service is amazing, and nothing is too much trouble. I can’t wait to make my next purchase, and fill my house with these delightful lanterns. Thank you for making a lantern that will make me smile every day." ~ Carrie Woodward ~ 7th January 2020

“I am delighted with my latest Delphinium Blue lantern which gives out a lovely light on the supper table and makes me smile very time I look at it. I have 3 other Made on a Hill lanterns that live on my hearth and which provide a warm and welcoming glow at a time when lighting the gas fire is best avoided. And better for my health than strong smelling candles. Unique and beautiful and sustainably hand-crafted - they bring the feel of the garden into the home. Love them!” ~ Kathy ~ 16th Jan 2023
“Gorgeous Christmas Cards” ~ “Beautifully designed and printed on top quality card. Neatly packaged in tissue with a thank you note. My order was hand delivered as delivery didn’t arrived via Royal Mail. Highly recommend.” ~ Suzanne Mckee ~ 16th Dec 2022
“These are absolutely amazing! This one was for a friend, but I had previously purchased both the standard and large sizes. They show my beautiful lanterns off perfectly in a much better and safer way than with a tea light. The convenience of the USB connector and a plug is great. A superb product for the price. I'm now looking for more things to put on them, so I can buy some more.” ~ Vicki Clemerson ~ 14th Dec 2022

“A new favourite” ~ "When I broke my purpleheart pin, I was gutted. But then I found this one, and another one. I love them all and I will try to be more careful not to break them. This one has a hidden brass pin, giving additional stability. I was not sure this straight and slightly thicker style of pin would work for my hair. But it does. It keeps my long thick and wavy hair in place all day, without any problems. I was always struggling with ponytail styles, as they usually led to a painful scalp for hours afterwards. I love my long hair, but it isn’t very practical. A habit of adopting animal companions, chickens and degus among them, means hours spent cleaning out their housing. Theses pins keep my hair out of my face nicely. But they are not only practical, they are also beautiful works of art and a real pleasure to touch and handle. I am working on a collection.“ ~ Elke ~ 4th May 2020
“Stunning” ~ “This pin is absolutely stunning. Especially the top bit. It also works very well. I like the added hidden brass pin. Clumsy me broke my first pin, a beautiful purpleheart wood one.” ~ Elke ~ 4th May 2020
“An absolute dream” ~ “This is an absolute dream: wonderful to look at and even more wonderful to touch. A thing of art and beauty which is also extremely practical to use. I love it!“ ~ Elke ~ 5th Feb 2020
“Simply stunning” ~ “Perfect in every way possible. I love my beautiful little wand. Stunningly beautiful and it really performs magic. My hair has never before looked so nice. The best yet!” ~ Elke ~ 5th Feb 2020
“The best yet!” ~ “My new lantern arrived beautifully packaged as usual. Sitting outside at dusk on a balmy evening recently, I placed all my lanterns together on the table. The resulting glow was magical. I think this is Sacha’s best lantern yet!“ ~ Vicki Clemerson ~ 4th Aug 2019
“Rare Find” ~ “Beautiful cards, rarely found, will enjoy sending.” ~ Rachel Moorhouse ~ 3rd June 2018
“The best yet!'' ~ ”This is not the first lantern I have bought but is definitely the best yet. It looks good unlit but only shows it’s real beauty when lit. The addition of a small circle of wood to hold the tea light in position is very helpful. I just love my unique wild heather lantern.” ~ Kay ~ 15th Mar 2018
