You’re in the Right Place

If you’ve ever wished you could hold onto a moment forever, you’re not alone. Life moves fast, and some memories deserve more than just a place in our hearts—they deserve to be woven into something we can touch, feel, and cherish for a lifetime. That’s where I come in.

The Heart Behind the Keepsakes

I’m Lisa, the hands and heart behind For a Lifetime. Based in Central Scotland, I create bespoke keepsakes that transform your most treasured fabrics into meaningful heirlooms. Whether it’s a baby’s first outfit, a cherished shirt, or fabric from a wedding dress, I stitch memories into something tangible—something that tells a story.

This journey began with three women, a difficult year, and a newfound understanding of love, loss, and legacy. For years, I crafted keepsakes without fully realizing their impact—until 2024, when I lost both my mum and one of my best friends. In my grief, I saw these pieces for what they truly are: love, woven into something you can hold; memories, stitched into something that lasts.

Although I primarily run the business on my own, you may occasionally meet my wonderful daughter, who helps keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.

Why For a Lifetime? My Mission

Unlike mass-produced mementos, every keepsake I create is infused with deep care, craftsmanship, and the personal stories you share.

These aren’t just fabric and thread; they’re memories, emotions, and your real connections brought to life

My mission is simple: to transform cherished memories into lasting keepsakes so that love can always be held close.

Whether you’re looking to honour a loved one or celebrate a joyful milestone, I am here to help preserve your story in the most heartfelt way.
