Hi! My name is Susanna Rahel, but everyone calls me Sue.
I'm the person behind the nostalgic illustrations that define my products.
My wonderful husband and our three children are a big part of my life. My husband is the one who makes it possible for all the technical aspects to run smoothly behind the scenes: he prints labels, keeps the shop running smoothly, takes care of our tax returns, and so on. My children are a huge source of inspiration for my ideas, and I love seeing the world through their eyes.
The most important pillar in my life—the one that shapes my thoughts and actions, my perspective on things, and keeps my passion for life alive—is my love for my Savior, Jesus, and His Word, the Bible.
I'm half German, half Italian. I grew up in Italy, but I've been living in Germany for many years now. I think my German side is stronger, but here and there you can still see some Italian traits. 😉
I love gardening, walks in the woods, books, hiking, spending time with my family, chips, olives, cheese, and nuts. But I don’t like chocolate, desserts, cakes, or cookies. I love sunrises, the mountains, and music. I love all four seasons just the way they are—one after the other. My hair is way too long; I wear glasses, but I’d rather go without them. I like things that are small and cute, that tell a story, or that belong to someone special.
So if you’ve ended up here with me, you’re in a place that isn’t perfect, but it’s authentic. I’m the one who paints the pictures, comes up with the products, and makes some of them myself. I’m also the one who answers your emails, manages the social media channels, and packs your packages. Haha! All of this to spread lots of love out into the world! I do my best to keep this little shop going—as beautiful and full of love as I possibly can!
