About Us

In the Spring of 2024 I decided I needed a change. Naturally, I began by thinking of the same things we all do when we want to change our lives- starting a bobsled team and entering the Winter Olympics (á la the unbeatable 1993 film Cool Runnings), moving to a remote cabin in a forest where I can successfully avoid interaction with multi level marketers for the rest of my life, or joining a spin class.

For a variety reasons, none of these seemed to work out. So instead in the September I opened Grumpy Custard.

Grumpy Custard is my museum of joy, curated specially with things which make me (and hopefully you) smile. My seven year old self would be delighted to know that I am surrounded by so much stationery. In all honesty, my current twenty-four year old self is delighted to know this too. 

Perhaps one day I'll tell you more of how this all came to be, but for now I'll leave it there. Thanks for poking around. I hope you decide to stay a while 💖✨

All good things. 

P.S. For every order placed we plant one tree and offset 1kg of C02, which is pretty sweet! You can find out more about that in our environmental impact section here.
