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!)
