About

Hello there!
I'm Ilaria and my name comes from the latin word "ilare" which in English means hilarious:-)

I am Italian and I have been living in Manchester since 2004, I moved to the UK to be with my gorgeous husband Stuart.

I am passionate for handmade and unique goodies and I love spending time coming up with pretty ideas to decorate the house or crafting handmade cards for family and friends.

Because of the lovely feedback I have received, I decided to make my hobbies become something a little bit more and that's how Ilaria Rocks was born.
And there's a true story for you...I had been thinking about a name for ages, I knew a really good one would have come up sooner or later, and then when I was least expecting it, it happened! It was one lovely sunny afternoon and I was catching up with my friend Nicola, sitting in the garden, when out of the blue she said "what about Ilaria Rocks?!" and it was love at first sight, so many thanks Nicola!

Ilaria Rocks is a range of different items, from stationery to greeting cards, from picture frames to buttonholes...there is something lovely for everyone, so stay tuned for some handmade rock n roll!
