Earrings, earrings.

I think the title says it all.  I have been making lots and lots of earrings.  They are all listed in my etsy shop .

I have had great fun looking at colours and beads. Let me share with you what I have made.

I will be making lots more but if you want something similar in a different colour then just let me know.

New Earrings - Now in Stock and More Coming Soon

Here are some new earrings which are the first in a new range of earrings which I have been working on.  They are a variation on my handmade dorset buttons - using some of the same techniques but appealing to those who like the idea but do not want buttons (why not? You should as my buttons are lovely!).

Pink with Turquoise Glass Beads Fibre Earrings

Blue and gold sequins Fibre Earrings

They are available now in my etsy shop - click here.

If you love colour and colour combinations and want me to make you a pair of earrings to your colour choice then just let me know.

Snapdragon Beads

Isn’t it lovely when you receive something through the post? Better still when it is something you won in a blog giveaway, and best of all when it is from the talented Alice of Snapdragon Beads.
I entered her blog giveaway and won a pair of gorgeous earring. They are so lovely and intricate.
Do have a look at her work, she does the most amazing bead woven pieces.
In her etsy shop you will find these simply divine pendants.

And I think my favourite at the moment is theseVery Berry Octahedra Earrings

One of the reasons I love them so much is that they remind me of the blackberries we pick in the Autumn on Portsdown hill. I see these earrings and I am transported back there with berry juice on my clothes and the taste in my mouth.

And the other reason I love them is that they are fantastic! They look good, are wonderfully crafted and will look stunning in your ears.

So have a look at her shops, you will be sure to find beauty there.

More birthday buys...



(4) An exquisite little pouch from Little Cat. This is the perfect size to pop your lipstick in and take out. But I use it to put my special jewellery in.
