Meet the Chirpy team ... Lizzie
Introducing Lizzie, a local potter who owns her own ceramics company and has been part of #teamchirpy for about 4 years
Thought it was about time to introduce Team Chirpy, Lizzie,
You’ll usually see Lizzie in Chirpy on a Thursday morning and covering days when I’m on holiday.
We also stock Lizzie Lino prints cards and tote bags in Chirpy
So here’s a bit more about her …
I’m Lizzie and I work as a potter here in Leeds. I grew up down South but moved up to Leeds for university about 12 years ago and haven’t looked back.
Fave time of year & why
I love summer! Long evenings, al fresco dining, warm river swims… need I say more?!
Fave chirpy product
I love the pocket flower presses that we sell. They’re so cute, and a lovely thing to pop in your bag when you go for a walk and come home with a memory of your day out.
Thing you like about working in chirpy / chirpy customers
I love it when people discover the shop and are so clearly thrilled with what we have. I met a lovely customer yesterday who said how much of a joy it was to find us, as she loved everything we had and felt so welcome in the shop. Those sorts of interactions with people are such a highlight!
Unusual fact about yourself
I studied Ecology at uni, which comes as a surprise to most people!

Meet the Chirpy team ... Jenna
Introducing Jenna, a local artist who owns her own Papergoods company and has been part of #teamchirpy for a couple of years.
Thought it was about time to introduce Team Chirpy, starting with Jenna,
You’ll usually see Jenna in Chirpy on a Monday, the 1st Sunday of the month when the Chapel Allerton Market in running and covering days when I’m on holiday.
We also stock Jenna’s cards and stationery in Chirpy, which are always popular.
So here’s a bit more about her …
Hi! My name’s Jenna, I’m 33 and grew up in Derbyshire. I moved to Leeds for uni 15 years ago and never left! I’m an artist and I run a paper goods business called @joyjenstudio - selling greetings & stationery items online and in some lovely shops around the country (like Chirpy!).
My favourite time of year is summer, not so much for the heat (any fellow redheads can relate I’m sure!), but for the long daylight and all the gorgeous blooming nature. I feel most myself when I’m outside, and while I’ll happily brave all seasons, it’s certainly a little nicer in the Spring & Summer months!
My favourite Chirpy product at the moment is the Liga Beach Clean passport holder. I just think it’s so cute and I’m always eyeing it up!
My favourite thing about working at Chirpy is the lovely chats I have with the customers about the gorgeous items we have in store. I love when someone picks something out that I love too.
An unusual fact about me is that I seem to be acquiring Dad hobbies as I get older. I’ve gotten super into Formula 1 and bird-watching in the last few years and I’m both delighted and baffled by those developments… 😂
(I do have normal girl hobbies too, like pottery, yoga and reading!)
