Hand stamped necklaces back in stock!


Hello all,

I've been working a lot on hand stamped pieces at the moment, so these are making their way into my shop.  I love handstamping jewellery because the possibilities are endless.  I had a trial run with a few of these rings and they proved very popular.  This is my latest design, and following a new delivery from the States, they're back in stock!


Apologies for the colour cast on the second photo, the heart is bermuda blue but it was taken on my iPhone.  These are available in silver colour (aluminium - safe for nickel allergies!), brass or copper, with any colour heart you like in the centre!  The rings are 1" across.  


I also have other sizes available, including tiny aluminium rings and the larger sizes which are 1 1/4" across.  (Yes I've also just discovered Instagram...)  You can also have different shaped crystals in the centre - Swarovski crystals are available in lots of gorgeous shapes and colours.

I've got some cute half heart charms too - perfect for 'Best Friends' necklaces, or Mum & Daughter necklaces, perhaps with a Swarovski birthstone as well?  I have number stamps too so important dates can be added to jewellery as well!




I've also been making these beautiful bookmarks.  I know Kindles and iPads are all the rage, but you really can't beat a good book in my opinion! 

The little disc can say anything, and again the crystals can be in any colour!  This one was made for my Mum for her birthday...



As you can see in the pic above, I've got one very empty compartment in my box, so I'd like to hear your ideas on what shape I should get next.  

I am also planning a competition in the very near future to win one of these bespoke necklaces (worth £15), so watch this space!  It will run through my facebook group as well once I have more 'likes', so please do invite your friends and share my page!  More details on this competition to follow...

Happy Easter!

Hope you've all had a lovely Easter weekend and eaten far too much chocolate!  I certainly have.  My favourite being the Creme Egg "Splats" I was given.  I absolutely ADORE creme eggs so that was a fab treat.  They didn't last long though...

I thought today I would share with you some of my favourite Easter finds from the world of Etsy...  Here are my top 3 "Eggs-tra special" (sorry) Etsy finds...

First I found this adorable little felted bunny!




Isn't he just gorgeous?  I love the long ears and cute little beady eyes.  This little guy comes from MiaPuPe in Estonia, and she makes lots of little felted treasures, as well as rag dolls and soft toys.  


Next up is this beautiful nest necklace by Les Petit Choses of Lisbon.  Don't you just love the name too?  I really like the detail on the eggs in the nest.  It's made from polymer clay and then hand painted.  Have a look at the rest of the collection too, it's described as "Delicate Romantic Jewelry", and doesn't disappoint!   







Last but no means least are these gorgeous bunny slippers for tiny feet!  They're made by Puddintoes in the US, another fantastic name, and they're just adorable.  I just wish I knew a tiny person to put them on so I had an excuse to buy them.  Shelley has lots of other fun baby things including hats, blankets and quilts.






So there are some of my favourites - what treasures have you found in your travels?  Did you get any cool Easter presents?
