My own jewellery hangs in the bedroom ready to wear, and looks beautiful.

My working place

My jewellery working desk is a very colourful place, as it is colour that inspires me, as well as the gemstones themselves which have amazing properties. When you learn what the qualities are it is no wonder we began wearing jewellery in the first place.

For instance "Amethyst brings peace, calm and contentment. Protects against negative vibrations, increases awareness and raises the spirit."

Sounds good to me, I find people are naturally attracted to the gem stones best for them at the time. As we move through our lives and are going through different experiences we need different gemstones to aid us. I like to think that the mineral world has its own way of helping us.

NEW BLOG AND CHRISTMAS COUNTRY LIVING FAIR

Welcome to our new blog, we hope you will be joining us for many Vintage inspired tales from here on! We have just returned from the Christmas Country Living Fair, as usual it was a well attended event with packed aisles however we were fortunate enough to be down in the front arena where space was a-plenty. Takings were up this year which has been fantastic as we worried about how the recession might affect us.

It was really fantastic to meet some of our customers in person and we would like to thank you kindly for your purchases and continued support which always inspire us to continue on our making and collecting endeavours.

The weather here in Devon as late November creeps upon us, sees skies full of heavy clouds and rain, but the fire is alight with fire-wood carefully stored away from the damp. The chickens aren't laying at the moment, and can be found huddling in little clusters in the garden trying to hide from the rain.

Currently, my home is featured, along with each of our home-made wares in Your Home magazine, this has been exciting as it is a chance for people to see how I work at home. We hope for more of this in the future, so watch this space.
