New Shape

I have been excited to work with this new glass shape, these charms are round with pretty beveled glass on front and back. I have made a few Easter designs to start with, and used some pretty vintage baby photos for some of them and a lovely girl holding a rose spring wreath, they are available in the shop. Was lucky enough this Sunday to get to a flea market, found some pretty old medicine bottles and thought they would look lovely for displaying charms on, I will share some pictures with you this week. Well stay warm if you are in the North!

I have been going through some old magazines before the over run my house. I came across some lovely photos from a Victoria magazine. I just love the color and textures of 19th century country life, the beiges of old soap, the cremes of linen sheets, the ivory of an quilted petticoat. Paper tags laced with hemp stings, pottery eggs that were placed in a hen's nest when a real egg was removed for breakfast, balls of hemp spun by a farmer's wife waiting to be woven into fabric. Even the simplest tokens of country life take on a pure style when gathered and displayed in baskets.

Business Card

I have had so many different designs that I have done up for business cards and never really was happy with any of them.... but I was going through my files and came across one of my little favourite illustrations of a little baby and bird which I have used and I am quite happy with the way it looks. I plan to make up a few Easter Charms with this little baby on them. Well it is very cold in my little studio this morning, my tea is cooling off fast, will wait till the sun warms up my studio and do a little work. Happy Valentines Day.

Hello friends my week has been busy with orders and working on some new designs for charms. The dangle charms are doing so well and had such a great response to them I will work on some new ones for spring/easter. I am releasing a new shape or charm this month as well, still needs some work on the design. Well back to printing cutting and charm making, then off to make pancakes for breakfast.
