Phew! How quick did that week away go?! No sooner was I lounging about sunning myself with a nice cold drink in Cran Canaria before my holiday was over and I was back home on a plane to Manchester! By heck it’s got cold as well! Winter is well and truly on it’s way! Gran Canaria was lovely though and I certainly had chance to recharge my batteries as well as drink and eat lots and lots…. I’ll certainly need to be back at the gym soon to work off all that lovely Tapas!

I did miss my little Andre the Pygmy Hedgehog though! He stayed with our friends while we were away and seems to have enjoyed his own little mini break, I think he was spoilt rotten! Not to mention cuddled and kissed by all him new admirers who went around to see him!

I have managed to catch up on all jewellery bits and bobs and I realise that the site is a little empty and needs some serious updating and I aim to get plenty of new designs on there in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Yes Christmas! I can’t believe we are fast approaching October and soon all the festivities will be upon us… I am feeling a wave of panic I can tell you!

Mark and I are are joining a few friends for a weekend away in the Peak District. It’s about an hour away from here so we are renting a car and hopefully taking a scenic drive to a lovely cottage. Of course we’ll be bringing Andre the Pygmy Hedgehog too, he deserves a holiday!
I have never been to the Peak District but from what I’m told it should be a lovely relaxing scenic place. Hopefully if the weather stays OK we’ll be indulging in a BBQ and taking a nice walk around. We’ll be back on Sunday night, Exciting!

Yes it’s all back to normal now. Holidays are over and it’s back to our jobs and back to our everyday rainy weather in Manchester! We had a lovely time in The Dominican Republic despite a 24 hour delay due to flight cancellation on the way home! Never mind that was another excuse for me to sample more cocktails! Mark and I were quite worried about the weather as reports suggested rain and storms in The Dominican whilst we were away but it was so lovely, blazing sun shine and blue skies every day except for one, so we couldn’t complain!
I’ve got back to the jewellery as well over the weekend and will hopefully have some more bits listed on Thursday so keep your eyes peeled!
I’ll leave you with some pics from the holiday for now! See you soon!

Yay for holidays abroad!

We booked our holiday today to Bavaro in The Dominican republic. We can’t wait as Mark and I have not been away together yet, well only to Robin Hoods bay for a weekend but that doesn’t count!
Here’s a couple of new Alice in wonderland themed creations…
First i have a beautiful Alice themed charm bracelet, handmade using gorgeous illustrated charms featuring Alice (in different scenes, illustrated), a clock and The White Rabbit and other ornate decorative charms such as a tea pot, Ace of Spacdes playing cards and other lovely bits..
These cameo charms are really beautiful and in my opinion make this charm bracelet look unique. The bracelet is made from a lovely thick gold bracelet and colour toned for a classic vintage look and feel.

To compliment the Alice Charm bracelet, I also made a cute Alice themed necklace with a beautiful illustrated scene from the classic story. The Alice cameo has been strung on gorgeous thick plated gold chain with a Swarovski silver drop. Gorgeous! Anyway i hope you like them.
