Why we do what we do
Hi! I'm Nikki, the maker behind Narley and Chikki.
Narley and Chikki was born in July 2014 as a creative adventure for my husband, Charley, and me. The name has a special meaning—it’s simply Charley and Nikki with our first letters switched. It was a fun little twist that perfectly captured the partnership behind everything we created.
Together, we loved designing and making pieces that would bring warmth, personality, and a smile to someone’s home. Today, I continue that tradition by handcrafting every item myself. From beautifully sewn aprons to hand-lettered rustic wood signs, each piece is made with care, attention to detail, and the hope that it becomes something you’ll treasure for years to come.
Whether you’re shopping for a meaningful gift or a unique piece of home décor, I believe handmade items tell a story that mass-produced products simply can’t.
After Charley’s passing, I stepped away from creating for a while. When I was ready, reopening Narley and Chikki became a way to honor the life we built together and continue the dream we started back in 2014. Every order I make carries forward the creativity, craftsmanship, and love that inspired this business from the very beginning.
I’m proud to be a small business where quality comes before quantity. Every order receives my personal attention, and I hope what I create becomes part of your family’s story.
Thank you for visiting Narley and Chikki. It truly means the world to me that you’re here, and I look forward to creating something special just for you.
