NEW! Bag Jewellery

Ta Da!

Today I am announcing my new range of handbag charms! Or, if you like, jewellery for your bags...

Here is a preview just for you:




What do you think? This batch has all sorts – Christmas, Halloween, animal, Steampunk, spring, summer, autumn...

I'm in the process of adding them to my Etsy shop, and I have loads of ideas for more – so stay tuned!

Knotted necklaces

I have – finally – got to grips with the new art programme and have now started to add my new products to my Etsy shop. Below is a preview of a few of my new Bohemian range, in the form of four knotted hemp and shell necklaces. These were super fun to make!



Since the English have a preoccupation with the weather, I'm going to regale you with stories (or possibly, a story!) of how our glorious summer has turned back into winter. Because it has. Summer dresses are back in the wardrobe and winter woolies are back on. Well, not quite, but it is back to being cold again. I hope your weather is better!

Oh – and I was on the bus the other day. Our buses have a few seats at the front for less able passengers. You can use them, but are supposed to give them up if somebody else needs them more. I think the wording is something like, 'for disabled or elderly'

Well, I was sitting at the back, minding my own business, when this old lady got on the bus. Eventually. Poor thing looked to be about 110, and she staggered to the aforementioned seats and plonked herself down. After she'd collected herself, she started reading the reserved- seats notice and said to herself, ' Hmm. That's not me...'

And up she got, and staggered off to the back of the bus!

That amused me all day...

I hope your day is fun, too!

Images and art

If you've been wondering where the promised new items have got to, um.... sorry. They're made, and photographed, and... well. That's as far as I've got because my art programme crashed, leaving me unable to resize and prepare the images for Etsy.

However, having received some helpful advice on replacement art programmes I have now got a new one, which actually looks promising.

So hopefully, normal – and new! - service will be resumed very shortly. Thanks for staying tuned!

Bohemian summer

We have sun! Quick – where are my summer frocks? Over here you don't know how long the summer will last...

I've been making some Boho/Gypsy/Hippy jewellery recently and I can say that I've had a whole lot of fun with it! Today I'm bringing you a preview of my latest batch of earrings, some of which are indeed Bohemian. Check out the new Bohemian range in my Etsy shop.






Bring on the sun! And those summer days and festivals!

Hail, it's new summer necklaces!

I've got a load of new necklaces, most of which are already up in my Rose Bay Shop on Etsy. Lovely summer necklaces, which, as I'm posting this and looking out of the window... its hailing. And cold... you can tell its an English summer, right?





I also have a brand new line coming your way soon, within the next week or so, so watch this space!

All choked up

Something new! A beautiful choker, measuring roughly 15” is now for sale in my Etsyshop. This is the first to be sold there – by me, anyway – and is one of my new summer designs. It is made with little aventurine chips and beads on a handmade, hand-wired silver-plated base. Even the hook clasp is handmade! 



I'm very excited about my new summer range, and I also have several other new lines coming soon too! 

Please stay tuned!

Toppings of one kind or another

Here are some of my new necklaces, some of which have already been posted in my Etsy shop, and there is more to come.




If you've been over to Etsy, then you know that they have a new format going on. I gather it is particularly aimed at those of you who browse on mobile devices, which is a bit of sad state of affairs for those who do not... however. Keeping up with the changing needs of the customer is important to any business, as those who don't bend will break, and we certainly don't want that, do we?

I have a temporary but nice and bright picture in place for now, but I should have a new cover banner coming shortly. Times are a-changing...

Exciting!
