new shop, woohoo!!

Very excited about getting a cool shop space in St Austell's Market House, right in the centre! It's a lovely old building (bit dilapidated, but being done up!) and I'll have room to display loads of quirky recycled/vintage goodies as well as picture, photos, and maybe even some clothes...Then in the back part we'll have room to run affordable, recycled craft workshops every week! Busy planning decor and new stock now, something along these lines:

Bright, bit 60s, bit girly and retro: any ideas wlecome! Going to plan a cool, garden party shop opening end of May (lots of Pims, vintage dresses and cream teas) so keep your eyes open for that. And will have some free workshops on to get evrybody in the making swing of things! Cannot wait..

Here's a link to a lovely real bride, Linzi, who wore my hydrangea headdress last year. She looked very lovely and the wedding looked like such a cool, fun day!

Here's some more real brides (above) who looked completely gorgeous in SARAHDReW accessories last year. You really cabn have whatever you like: the more crackers and colourful the better! Just done some cool retro bits and bobs in VIVID colours (with beads from a 50s necklace), some soft pink deco stuff and of course plenty of vintage sparkle: keep a look out, taking more pictures tomorrow to put up here x

Been lax, lax, lax doing this blog so will promise to do better! Good New Year's resolution along with eating less cake and doing yoga...

Quick update below of the fairs and events I'll be at this Christmas: if you're about, come along and say hello and bring some old jewellery if you fancy doing a bit of jewellery recycling and having it made into something lovely, sparkling and new!

Tom sorting out a lovely new site for me, so keep an eye out for excellent special offers on the run up to Christmas so you can afford to treat yourself as well as do a bit of unique, bargain Christmas shopping...

Things that have been popular for all the glamourous parties this time of year (half a lager down the local pub probably, but we can dream) are; lace necklaces and earrings, vintage necklaces and cuffs, and been doing some really sparkly pieces with swarovski crystallised: asymetric, modern shapes in very twinkly crystal: few photos below:

event dates:

5th/6th December: Fowey Christmas Fair, Fowey leisure Centre, Cornwall, 10 - 4pm: original, affordable jewellery for presents as well as more statement pieces to treat yourself to. Lots of yummy food stalls and Christmassy things going on as well.

10th December: Falmouth Shopping evening, at Falmouth Hotel 6pm. entry £3 including glass of fizz. Mini recycled jewellery workshops for £3: come and make some pressies from your old jewellery!

on the telly on tuesday night!

If you get chance to tune in to BBC2's 'Coast' programme on Tuesday night, you'll be able marvel at me busily foraging on Crantock Beach in Newquay for bits of very useful rubbish to make into, lovely, glamorous, contemporary jewellery!

I haven't seen it myself yet, so I'm not sure just how embarassing it's going to be: but I did enjoy doing it and having chance to waffle on about why I like collecting and using driftwood, sea-plastic, sea-string, pebbles and shells in my jewellery. I think there's a bit (it's only a couple of minutes long) where I'm making a cuff on the beach, crocheting silver wire with seastring like these ones below:

There's plenty of these in my gallery stockists (I've been very busy; crocheting-mad) at a special offer price of 20% off (normally retail price £39, now £31.20) or you can order them from us via phone 07951 960647, email: sarah@sarahdrew.com or through my site www.sarahdrew.com.

To see more info about the 'Coast' program you can go to: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mvlc Let me know what you think!

fashion editorial in 'Cosmobride' and 'My Green Lifestyle'

There's a lovely photo in this month's Cosmobride, in the Dollshouse story, of this asymetric flower headdress. The model's wearing a soft sort of french revolution dress and the headdress looks great with it: it's £155 to order and you can have whatever colour flowers you like! To have a look at what else is in Cosmobride this month, go to: www.youandyourwedding.co.uk.
