Lucie’s Authentic Seeds: Home Education and Eco-friendly Crystal Crafts on the Isle of Wight
Meet Lucie, founder of Authentic Seeds, and a home educating mum of one living on the picturesque Isle of Wight. Her journey into the world of home education and crystal crafts began with a simple idea to provide an enrichment activity for a group of home educated children. Little did she know that this idea would turn into a thriving small business that brings joy and creativity to people of all ages.
Lucie’s background as an advanced crystal healer inspired her to offer a crystal tree craft as an enrichment activity for the local home education group. The response was overwhelming, and what was supposed to be a one-day activity turned into a three-week success story. Seeing the children and even adults feeling accomplished and proud of their creations was incredibly rewarding for Lucie, and she knew she was onto something special.
Building on the success of the crystal tree craft, Lucie decided to create a “DIY kit” version of the craft so she could share it with the wider home education community and anyone else who loves crafts. She even added a free educational crystal mini-course with every purchase of the tree kit, providing a holistic learning experience for those interested in crystals.
With the success of the tree kits, Lucie’s creative spirit soared, and she decided to expand her offerings to include resin creations and hand-wrapped crystal pieces. She even designed her own branding, allowing her to keep costs low and offer affordable crystal pieces and crafts to those who may not think they can afford them. Lucie’s online shop is always changing, depending on what resources are available to her. She forages the wood for the tree kits herself and regularly seeks out ethical yet affordable stones to use in her creations, making her business a true labor of love.
Lucie’s passion for home education and crystal crafts has created a unique and thriving business on the Isle of Wight. Her commitment to affordability and sustainability, as well as her dedication to providing educational resources alongside her crafts, sets her apart in the crafting community. Whether you’re a home educator looking for enriching activities, a crystal enthusiast seeking unique pieces, or someone who simply loves crafts, Lucie’s creations are sure to captivate your imagination and bring a touch of magic into your life.
