Golden Summer....

 Gorgeously vibrant and golden!  I've added these lovelies to my collection of teardrop earrings and the wonderful thing is that as the wire and ear wires used are 14k goldfilled they are kind to sensitive ears, without the huge price tag =)

 So what is gold filled? The answer is that gold-filled is an actual layer of gold that has been pressure bonded to another suitable metal alloy and wears like solid gold. There is no flaking, rubbing off or changing of colour and your skin will only come into contact with the pure gold. This is what makes it more affordable, whilst still providing all the qualities of solid gold.

Whilst I love silver, I love the warmth of gold and there is something luxurious about it.  Find these lovelies here in the teardrop section of my etsy shop =)

Seaside Hues....

Hello my lovelies, it's almost March already and in the UK we'll be celebrating Mother's Day.  So I've decided to create this treasury of beautiful finds with seaside themed gifts.  Hopefully I'll get the chance to visit the seaside soon and look for some seaglass!  But until then I'll have to content myself with making some sea themed jewellery.

I've been making lots of teardrop earrings in new colours (they are lovely) that would fit into this colour scheme, as well as in various shades of teal.  Now I need to make a to do list and do a little creative planning for the year ahead =)

Teardrops in every colour....

 Well not quite but I'm trying!  I love these briolettes and now have over 30 different colours/ sizes to play with.  They are great for everyday wear and are also popular as bridesmaid jewellery.  I like wire wrapping them with sterling silver wire, the end result is worth the extra time it takes =)

The matte aqua blue and matte teal green colours that I've just added to the collection, have a great sea glass look that I love. 

These are another new favorite.  These opal light teal green beauties are both translucent and semi opaque, as I've tried to show with this photo.  No two earrings are exactly the same, which I like =)

Winter is coming......

 It's getting darker earlier and there's a cold chill in the wind.  Judging by the amount of berries on the tree's it's going to be a harsh winter.  But rather then focus on the heating bills, Winter is a time of magical beauty.  So here I've put together a collection of icy blue polar bear beautiful finds for your viewing pleasure.  Snow, ice and polar bears, you can't more magical then that really =)

Here are a pair of icy blue petite teardrop earring that I made, they are delicate and the colour is beautiful =)

Looking for a Rainbow....

It's been hot 24 - 7 until the rain came today with thunder and lightning.  And in between the rain showers if the sun comes out maybe you would of seen a rainbow.  There's always something magical about seeing a rainbow and my children love spotting them. But today I went looking for rainbows on Etsy, created by my talented team mates and other Etsyians and here are some of the lovely finds I found =)

I've also been adding some new colours to the collection of teardrop briolette earrings available in my etsy shop, with more to come, but still have lots of pictures to take!  Hopefully now the kids are on holiday I'll have more time and some sunshine to take the pictures!

And now available from my Etsy shop is this lovely set of 8 pairs of earrings =)

Handmade & D.I.Y Weddings......

If your a lover of handmade then you should really pop over to www.Etsy.com if your planning to have a handmade wedding or just looking for inspiration or wedding gift ideas.

   I love the idea of painting your own wedding cake toppers!  My friend used Wonder Woman and Spider Man figures on the top of her wedding cake as the couple are Marvel lovers =)

As for wedding favors, my favorite finds are little pots of honey pots and featured in this treasury are little heart shaped lavender sachets.  I love lavender!

I made these lovely Akoya saltwater pearl earrings, which would be lovely to wear to a wedding and can be worn every day afterwards =) 

The style is very classic and would look great with nautical outfits!

Some Like It Hot.......

My holy do dah, it is cold today!  I've just made this treasury for todays Red Hot 100+, the item being the lovely handmade applique fabric flowers crafted by Nurichant.  I went with a warm tropical vibe, whilst sitting drinking cup after cup of decaff tea to stay warm!

Craft Britannia's November Treasure-Thon.....Winter Weddings

 Well one of the themes this treasure-thon was winter weddings, so I put together some treasuries based on this theme.  For this one I added lovely touches of blue and wanted a kind of fairytale vintage feel to it.  You'll note the swan, a bird associated with love, partnership and found in many myths and fairy tales =)

This time I used whites and creams with some nature inspired items being the main focus.  I was kind of going for a soft snow effect.....

And now for that burst of Christmas red with some traditional dark evergreen.  The idea for this treasury in part came from the old Christmas hymn "The holy and the ivy", which I had to sing at school and is maybe one of my favorites =)
