Happy Day

Had a lovely day making some new jewellery for my online shops. You can have a sneak peak at the new items before they hit the shops.




Silver earrings featuring a lovely cornflower blue rose. These were fun to make and I love that shade of blue - very cheery.








Copper earrings with a cute red glass bead.










Copper earrings with purple glass bead. Very pretty!!












Brass earrings with clear glass bead dangles. I had a good time going through my beads looking for the clear beads. I found beads I hadn't seen for ages.








I think these are my favourites. So pretty with the silver flower and I love the faceted clear glass beads.











A very classic look with a beautiful soft pink glass pearl and a little pink glass bead.











I found these beads in a necklace at the Port Adelaide Market. I think they are quite old, but I don't know for sure how old.










A very feminine necklace with cameos and pink pearls.








I will be posting these items over the next week or so. Please drop in to my online shops for more details of this jewellery.

Markets

I am taking a break from markets while I try to find another one that is more suitable. I am a bit disappointed that the Petrie Market wasn't quite right for me because I really enjoyed going. On the bright side this means I will have more time to devote to my online stores and I will be adding my surplus stock over the next few weeks, so keep checking for new items.

I will be checking out the Handmade Expo in Ipswich, the Artarageous Market and the Boutique Market at Portside. They look very interesting markets and I am going to have a lot fun finding a market for me.

This Week

I had a good week with a trip to Montville with a few girlfriends (Courtney, Sam and Jane), it was lovely to wander around the shops and have great lunch in such a beautiful setting.













I have starting making some new jewellery using pretty pictures and glass tiles to create a pendant. It is taking all my patience to not touch them while the glue is drying but I happy with the results - I just have to resist touching them!!!











I will be at the Petrie Market on Sunday. It should be a good day as there is 1940's festival on too. Let's hope the weather is fine.









Catch up with you soon.

First Blog

Well, I have joined the blogging craze!!!

I hope to be able to share some fun and creativity with anyone who will read this.

My interests are making beaded jewellery and cards, books etc. Anything pretty really. Inspiration comes from other creative people, magazines and nature.

I have two online stores at etsy.com and madeit.com and I am hoping to have a market stall as I love the atmosphere of a good market!.

That's about all for the first post.

Talk to you again soon.
