The Rakes LIVE at Manchester Club Academy 23/04/09

Last Thursday Mark and me went to see The Rakes at The Manchester Club Academy. The Rakes are definitely in my Top Five! Mark isn't all that bigger fan but he still really enjoyed the performance.

Here's My Favourite song from the night

More Cup Cakes!- My Mum's 50th!

Just a brief blog. Here is one of the cup cakes baked for my Mum's 50th birthday. My Mum and Dad came over to Manchester for the weekend. I'll be bloggng more about it later!

Wire Wrapped Amazonite and Pink Topaz Earrings- Indian Summer

I made these last week, but haven't had time to blog about them yet. I've chosen the name Indian Summer as they just seem to have that Asian appeal about them. I've used beautiful Pink Quartz droplets, hanging from Brass hoops that I have wrapped more brass wire around and then wrapped stunning Amazonite gems around as well. I love them so much I cannot bare to part with them. I'll make some more to sell though I'm sure!

Alice in Wonderland vintage style necklace- The white rabbit

I'm Late! I'm Late!


Hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather if it's as nice where you are as it is here! Mark and I had a lovely walk to the market today to pick up some bits. The sky was completely blue!

Here is a lovely addition to my Alice in Wonderland collection. My 'I'm Late! I'm Late!' necklace is a fabulous piece to add to anybody's Alice in Wonderland collection! I've used a gorgeous illustrated white rabbit cabochon pendant and complimented it with gold tone chain. I've tried something a little unique this time. One side of the chain is encrusted with fabulous diamonte whilst the other side features pretty fresh water pearls all finished with pretty pink ribbon!

Available in my Etsy and Folksy shop now!

Vintage Style Necklace- Carousel Horse!

The weather in Manchester today is fantastic and there are lots of people out and about. Unfortunately I've been out at work today but I'm still home in time to appreciate some sun shine.

A new creation- My vintage style 'Carousel Horse' necklace, comprising of a Large vintage carousel horse charm, Mother of pearl hearts and satin ribbon, on gold chain. Another simple but stunning design, suitable for going out at night, or casual days!

Available in my Etsy and Folksy stores later today!

Summer Kitsch Charm Bracelet- Fruit Salad!

I really couldn't believe how lovely Manchester was over the Easter Bank Holiday. I was inspired by all the sun shine to create some thing really bright, fun and kitsch! I've created this charm bracelet aptly named Fruit Salad as it reminds me of those sweets you used to have as a kid that were pink and orange.

I've crammed as much as possible on to this charm bracelet with carefully selected, unique charms and beads. I've included some really pretty vintage Lucite tear drops with cute floral print, large golden vintage strawberry beads, pink love hearts and orange flowers and pink leaves. If you look closely you can even find some cute little bells that tinkle when you move.

I love the way that pink and orange seem to compliment each other and they look great against the golden chain that's been used. Of course the bracelet wouldn't be complete without one of my signature satin bows.

Available in my Etsy Shop now!

Nautical Vintage Jewellery- Gone fishing necklace

I had an extra day off today, so I decided to make a bit of jewellery! The weather has been lovely here in Manchester, it's inspired me to create some spring/summer jewellery designs. I decided to use this wonderful unique looking vintage fish charm which is of a typical nautical theme and compliment it with peach and grey coloured freshwater pearls and gold chain. I'm really happy with the simplicity of this necklace as it still manages to look unique. I'm hoping to be making some more designs similar to this.

Available on Etsy and Folksy tonight.
