Our Story
Over the years Tina has turned her love of homemaking into a successful business, Liberty Bee. Tina launched Liberty Bee in 2010 and spent many days working from her studio in rural Kent with trusty helper Bertie. In the early years of Liberty Bee, Tina exhibited at various fairs across England, however, her online business grew quickly and soon took over from the shows.

In 2015, Tina started to explore South Africa; she now splits her time between the U.K. and South Africa. Taking inspiration from her travels, Tina has steadily grown her brand whilst maintaining an adventurous lifestyle.
Liberty Bee has now taken a new direction, moving on from garden gifts and enchanting finds, the focus is now on sentimental keepsakes and tokens of love. Tina explains “being in another country and away from my family made me realise how important tokens of love are. I decided to focus on sentimental keepsakes and sweet small gifts as I believe it is the little things that mean so much. Often when going on horse treks in Africa I would find myself tucking messages from my children in my pocket as a momento of luck and love. This inspired my latest collection”.
