Betty Dream

A day in the life of me - a creative business founder.

My mornings look very similar, checking my to do list, replying to any enquiries & taking a morning stroll with my dog, Clover. After the morning admin, it’s time to get ready for my full-time job (yes, Betty Dream is currently just a side hustle that feels like another full time job).

Skip ahead to my lunch break & you’ll find me working on new campaigns for 2027 & beyond! Or you’ll catch me scrolling through instagram because sometimes I just need something else to occupy my mind!

In the evenings, I tend to go for a run or get to Reformer Pilates , have dinner & then check stock levels ahead of upcoming events & markets.

Before bed, it’s time for content creation - editing videos & scheduling posts ahead of a busy week.

It’s such hard graft to have a full-time job & a business, but I wouldn’t change it for the world

Shopping sustainably has become high on everyone’s agenda & the idea of the birthday collection came to me as I watched my niece & other children be surrounded by plastic, single-use birthday decorations such as banners, cake toppers & badges.

Let’s be honest, how many times have we purchased these items & thrown them away, only to buy them again the following year?

Sustainability was the inspiration behind the collection itself - providing premium traditional birthday celebration items that can be used year after year.

The range includes badges, banners & cake toppers, meaning you can sit back & relax each year knowing that your decor is handled every year.

About me [founder of Betty Dream]


Hey, a little reintroduction to me - Nicola, the founder of Betty Dream. I’ve owned this business for 8 years now & I have had the privilege of working on it as a tiny idea in my brain to becoming a fully-fledged business.

In case you didn’t know, my business is named after my Great Aunt, Betty who allowed me to take the leap to run my own business.

I worked in schools for many years & adore my little niece, hence featuring so many products for younger ones.

I offer limited edition bows, personalised birthday banners, celebration disco balls & nursery decor online & through selected markets.

My business goals are to collaborate with another business, launch the annual bow sale & have a record breaking Christmas this year.

& that’s it - that’s me! If you like what you see & enjoyed what you read, take a peek at my website & feel free to browse my products whilst you’re there 🎀

Things about my business you may not know

Everything is handmade by little ol’ me. Unless of course it’s anything knitted which is lovingly made by my amazing mum!

I often dream about who will be receiving my products & what their lives look like. Who they’ve purchased them for & who will be opening them.

Almost all bows are made with materials that are sourced from the UK & in turn supporting other small businesses. This is extremely important to me & my business & I adore ordering from Backstitch: Fabric Yarn Craft Higgs & Higgs

The perfect new baby present is here 🎀

Because as lovely as lots of clothing & cuddly toys are, Mums often receive so many of them.


Gift them something that they can hang in their nursery with pride & will last for years to come, not just for a few months.


Most gifts are under £25 creating an affordable, yet unique present that will be remembered, forever.

It’s amazing that I was once that little girl who didn’t want to learn how to sew from her Mum or Granny. And now I own a business where I get to sew and create beautiful pieces that are apart of people’s homes and occasions 🎀
Thank you for coming along on the journey for the last 8 years, I’m hoping to spend some of the summer creating something new which also means learning to sew different things, things that aren’t bows that may include zips👀🤯
