Retail therapy perhaps?!

Well, I know it's a bit shallow but sometimes I do rather like buying stuff...

And nothing's quite as satisfying as getting beautiful goodies from Anna Lou of London half price, and then they turn up in a gorgeous box, wrapped in lovely tissue paper, with cute little Anna Lou stickers on them! Chuffed to bits! xxx

Another new hobby...

I've always loved Laura Lees designs with the kooky embroidery, and over Easter weekend actually had a real day off, so I thought I'd try a little myself! It did take a lot longer than I thought but it was lovely to do, and now I want to embroider everything I own!

If only there were more hours in the day!

Les Neriedes and N2 - what a wonderful wibbly world!

There are jewellery makers out there, real proper ones, who are just as daft as me...


I'm loving their fairytale references, and everything on their website makes me salivate, but none more so than the wee gingerbread houses!!!

Oh and the piggies are wicked!!!! So go to the beautiful land of N2 and dribble away!

Chocolates for Easter!

My latest Foundlings Jewellery creation, and absolutely my favourite so far... ever! The choccy box is weeny, only an inch and a half long!

Crowning Glory?

I'm a hairdresser and a slightly alternative jewelllery designer, and I can never understand why the whole world doesn't think of hair as part of a mixed media project... These punky adornments are great, the first sums up my style perfectly! And Alice Tinker, what can I say, but a largely overlooked style icon with a mind all of her own (and in 'real life' my own clever mum actually made the Dibley wedding tiara!).

Jewellery Craziness

It's such a massive pleasure and excitement for me to find so many designers making ridiculous over-the-top jewellery, these are the heroes to which I aspire... It seems trashy kitsch doesn't even have to be cheap! I love all these items so much (if anyone fancies buying me a present sometime?) but I think my absolute favourite is the white gold Diorette ring by Victoire de Castellane, she must be at least as nutty as I am, and Dior let her loose in their collection!

Othe super faves are Tarina Tarantino's new Floriculture, Cartier's Panthere ring, these amazing Wendy Gell necklaces, and Betsy Johnson's Bohemian necklace. Oh to be able to create such stuff! One day Zelly, one day....
