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:
