Mud & Happiness has been a dream in the making since March of 2023.  Though it is a sole proprietorship, there are many helping hands that make M&H a family business. 

After 33+ years managing in an unfulfilling corporate retail position, I began to weight the pros and cons of financial stability and mental health.  When the decision was made for me and I was laid off, I took it as a sign and an opportunity to finally focus on what would actually make me happy. 

Obsessed with ceramics and studying for several years, a good friend suggested I combine my love of pets and pottery to make paw print momentos.  I was overwhelmed with how the idea felt so right and I couldn’t wait to get in my studio and experiment.  My dog Luna and my sister Nikki‘s dog Kenobi quickly became expert impression makers.   

Now, I’m excited for each new day, being creative, trying new things and new ways to honour our fur family.   I’m so honoured and happy for the opportunity to help others cherish their pets and so excited to see each unique imprint come my way.   With the support of my incredible family, friends, hubby, and inspiration from my fur baby Luna, I‘m excited to grow and see what the future will bring for Mud and Happiness.
