Having designed under the name Lollipops and Daydreams for nearly a decade, Maria designed and made children's clothes. Maria also ran local pop up shops and co ran a Dublin city centre children's store. A passion for growing flowers led to studying organic horticulture. Both passions began to influence the other and I decided to focus more on floral prints and expand her range to include women's aprons and more soft furnishings. Under the name Bell Meadow Maria created a lifestyle gifting website that launched on the 1st August 2020.
