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!
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!
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.
I was up bright and early to to get all the bits needed to make some cup cakes. I have been looking longingly at some of the cup cakes people make and have been dying to have a go! I went along to my local market to buy a piping bag and other bits and the man on the cook wear stall said they are also opening a shop dedicated to cake making, so I’m very excited about that!
For these I followed Laura Sparling’s recipe for Vanilla Cup cakes and made up my own design for the toppings! Of course the frosting had to be bright pink! I’m fairly pleased with the results!
