Flowers go to the fabulous Corey Amaro - from Tongue in Cheek today. This is a blog that I never, ever miss.

Corey pointed us to a series of advertisements for Californian cheese - you MUST click here and watch some - they had us rolling on the floor with laughter this morning!

I made this pair of earrings using the same faceted chalcedony as the ones in the BLUE CHALCEDONY AND GOLD CHAIN bracelet. The blue is such a gorgeous colour and they are perfect earrings for summer weather (I hope there will be an English summer this year………..?) The Chalcedony works as well with silver as it does with gold and I still love this stone!

Annie’s wedding was earlier this month. Her colour scheme was red and gold and she contacted me for jewellery for her 4 bridesmaids. She chose a medium crystal Heart on Red Ribbon for the necklaces, but I made them using 14ct Gold components instead of silver, in order to match her colour scheme. Annie also liked the idea of some bracelets and I used some gold vermeil chain and made some delicate cluster bracelets using gold vermeil beads and an assortment of deep red swarovski crystals.

I met Corrine Wright last year, she is a potter/ceramist who lives and runs her studio in Botley, Hampshire. I particularly loved her range of “ladies” - these little figurines are whimsical and dreamy and Corrine puts such a lot of thought and love into them, each one is a little individual.

Corrine was kind enough to souce a “Twinkleberry” pink for me and so my Twinkleberry lass is just gorgeous and I used her a lot to display my jewellery on during the christmas fairs. I was tempted to commission a range to stock on the site, but decided against it as they are fragile and I just could not guarentee them surviving the post…..sadly!
