St Georges Day

I am over the moon ...just when I finished my last blog this e-mail arrived from Not On The High Street it features my 'Keep Calm' and 'Carry On' cufflinks....I now have a big smile on my face and am doing a happy dance about the room :)

Where has April gone!!!

I can't believe that it is almost the end of April already, the months are flying by....I have been kept busy over the past few weeks with more commission orders, they are all but clear now so I have some space again to take more orders, just contact me through the website if you have something special in mind.

I love clusters in earrings and after seeing some beautiful tissue pompoms featured recently on etsy front page, I decided to do my own little take on pompoms but in earrings....here is what I came up with...hope you like them, I love them.

Carmello Bracelet & Earrings

I have been working on a lot of commissions over the last few weeks, but I finally managed to get some photographs of some new additons to the website...so here goes....Carmello bracelet & earrings these are gorgeous beads by Claire at Rowanberry Glass, and they are soooo nice.

I love these little mallow earrings the colour is quite simply divine, the softest mallow pink vintage glass beads, complimented with oxidised silver......Lovely!!

I am off to get back to my commissions now x

February Already

So sorry it has been quite a while since I have managed to update on here, after a busy run up to Christmas time just got away from me, we then decided that we would have a bit of a break......it was wonderful 14 days in the Dominican Republic just relaxing and soaking up the sun, but what a shocker to come back to even more snow.

I tried to get all artistic with my photos...(this did not work) but here are a couple just to show how lovely it was...oh I wish I was back there....(the first one is the artistic one)!!!!

I did manage to buy some Larimar while I was there so watch out for some designs these stones...here is a bracelet I made with the stones I bought on a previous trip there...and it really is just the colour of the ocean....beautiful!!!!

Trinkette's

Trinkette is a new additon to my jewellery, it is a selection of necklaces that incorporate some of the things I love, gorgeous gemstones, charms and sterling silver.....you can check them out on my website....currently available is Amethyst Trinkette and Crystal Trinkette.

I have also been working on commission orders, they are all complete now and will be with you all early next week if you have not already received yours.

I have just added a couple of pressies for the boys 'I can't Stop' & Silver Birch Cufflinks you can check them out here.

And don't forget gift vouchers are always available if you are not quite sure what to purchase for your gift.

Bye for now...have a good week.

Disaster!!!

Oh this has been such a bad weekend....firstly with my day all planned out on Friday the first thing on my list was to buy ink for the printer and petrol for the car which was nearly on red!!! I set off only to get half way there as I was hit by an articulated lorry.... went right into the side of me spun me round into the line of the oncoming traffic...reeeeallly scary, I am ok just a bit shaken up, but the car is not so good....can it get any worse...oh yes it can...

After I had tried to calm down a bit I tried to get onto my website...only to be faced with my site not being there...it was eventually sorted out...problems with the host company, so apologies if any of you wondered where I had gone.

As you can imagine I was pretty frazzled by this time...but had to laugh in between the crying as I called to tell my mum and dad about the accident she checked I was all ok told me to have a nice bath and asked quite innocently what type of truck it was that hit me...my response was I don't know but it was big....mum's response was 'no what was written on the side of it', trying to hold it together I replied Anchor Butter, thinking what does that matter, 'I am never buying that again' was her response.

I couldn't not laugh!!!

bye for now
Elizabeth

Just for Luck!!

I made this delicious little necklace for my friend as a special request....it is such a delightful necklace to wear and attracts such a lot of compliments.

Each one is handcrafted and unique...and is now available to purchase from my website......perfect for gifts.
