Only 32...

Did you realise that it is only 32 days until Christmas? Isn’t that exciting?

I bought a nice jar to help with storing my growing selection of jewellery components...

I then stuffed it with blank wooden bits and bobs that are awaiting their fate as to whether they will be painted, glued, varnished, or some other concoction I can come up with!

I’m getting on with my new Instagram page, and am gradually learning how to use it. If you want to drop by, look for: @rosebayjewellery

I have Instagram!

I have an Istagram account! I’m not sure how to write down the address but if you have Instagram yourself, look for me under the name of @rosebayjewellery. I’ll get the kettle on for you!

Christmas angels

I’ve been experimenting with some little angel earrings using glass beads. They came out really cute, and I might have to make some new colours in addition to the current red, blue and pale green that I've already made.

 They can be found in my Christmas section.

I realised today that its only seven weeks to Christmas. Is everybody ready? I wish I was!

Spooky post

Happy Halloween!

Latest additions

I’ve been adding some adorable fimo earrings like these to the shop, and there will be more coming soon. 

I added a really big bronze tone Steampunk dragonfly (a friend referred to this item as ‘a bigass dragonfly!)

And I added my first snake necklace to the site, too. This one is made with a cute ceramic bead from Peru, but I also have glass and metal snake necklaces coming soon, too. So many pieces to add, and so little time…! 

See you soon!

Resin and roses

All my new resin pendants have now been added to my Etsy shop. I got lots of hits on them, so thank you to everyone who did check them out.

I have been working very hard to make loads of new products and will be adding these as soon as I can. I try to add at least one new item every day, so don’t forget to come back often – I promise it will be worth it!

I am very fond of roses  - you might have guessed this when I chose Rose Bay for my shop name – and love to have them at home. We planted a lot of new rose bushes back in the summer, and we hit on the idea of having a small display indoors whenever possible. Its starting to get a bit late in the season, but we can still manage a few. So how about this pretty vision of pink and yellow:

Hopefully by next year, when the new bushes have matured, we will see a riot of colour in the garden, and cute little displays indoors. I can't wait!

New line! Resin pendants!

I like to keep the shop, and my jewellery, fresh and new, and to this end, I am always trying new products. I have been experimenting with resin pendants, and this was the prototype.

I was so pleased with this, that I then tried a proper batch – most worked, a couple didn’t, but I learnt a lot from that. I do, however, now have some super pendants that came out really well, and I am slowly adding them to my Steampunk page on Etsy

All of the pendants so far are in the steampunk style, but I do have plans to add other designs to my resin pendants in the near future. So… watch this space!
