“Having purchased several lanterns which have been well admired by visitors, I commissioned a 'Wedding Lantern' for a friend using flowers from her bouquet. She absolutely loved this stunning piece. She now has a permanent flower light from her beautiful day.”
Wedding Lantern

”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.”

“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.”

“I commissioned a candle lantern to give as a wedding anniversary present. Sacha discussed my design preferences - choice of pressed flowers and shape of glass container, then produced the most delightful and totally original gift which is perfect. Delivered on schedule and at a fair price. Thank you Made on a Hill for your talents..”

“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!”

“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 on 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.”

“I know I am repeating myself, but all theses pins and forks are truly treasured and loved by me. Beautiful, tactile, unique and practical. I use them on a daily basis and I also love them as a collectors treasured item.
This one is different as it is not straight, but slightly bended, which makes the hairdo softer, which I like.”
“Unique”

"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.“
“A new favourite”
— Elke on 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 on 4th May 2020
“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!“

“Rare Find”
“Beautiful cards, rarely found, will enjoy sending.”
— Rachel Moorhouse 3rd June 2018
”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.“
“The best yet”

“Absolute art!”
”I must admit, it is not my first time here...
I find MadeonaHill the place to go to and you always find the best gifts ever! I have treated my sisters and friends to hairpins and lanterns (they have even been amazing gifts for relatives on the other side of the world, sharing the magic :) and I myself own a hairpin and a pendant that always receive praise and interest.
I love it when you find the right address for homemade art that holds meaning, creativity and esthetics !”
