Boogie Nights!

We've had another busy week this week busy preparing for the weekend. We're excited to be taking our jewellery to the first Castlefield Artisan Market on Sunday, 10 - 4 on the corner of Castle Street and Duke Street. We think it has the potential to be a fab monthly event and we're keeping our fingers crossed this gorgeous weather holds out until then.

Raffle prize packed and ready to go!

We 're also happy to be providing a raffle prize for the charity Chernobyl UK who support children and families in Belarus, the country most affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. They do amazing work and we are pleased we are able to do our little bit to help. They are holding a Back To The 80s Ball at the Cresta Court in Altrincham this Saturday, 1st October at 7pm and we've donated one of our Swarovski pearl bracelets which we hope will help them raise lots of money.

A mention for lovely Louise of Retro-Rimella  She's set up a new Twitter account @AltrinchamMrkt and is doing a brilliant job promoting the fabulous Altrincham Market, gathering support, encouraging some great ideas of what can be done to make the market the bustling hive of activity it once was and just generally create a buzz.  Please follow her and help make the market great again!

Here's wishing!

We're off to Prestwich today to the Vintage Life Extravaganza so we were up until the wee small hours making lots of lovely items to take with us.  Following the sell out success of the sterling silver version of our ever popular 'Make A Wish' bracelets we've come up with some new designs.  The sterling silver range are made with pink, pale blue, lime green and lilac cotton cord, with a gorgeous little charm and sterling silver beads on each end.  They are super cute and make a lovely little gift.

It's all about the label!

We're beyond excited about the arrival of our new Jacy & Jools branded fabric labels.  Specially designed for our sterling silver bracelets, we think our grey and silver thread bags in our brand colours, with pink and grey ribbon drawstrings will look uber stylish.  What do you think?

A whole lot of wishing going on!

Wow!  What a weekend.  We had a fabulous time at our first Wilmslow Artisan Market.  The turnout was amazing despite the odd downpour and we even had a celebrity presence with Graham from Corrie.  Sunday at Altrincham Vintage and Craft Market was equally fab and it great to see return customers and new faces. 

Our lovely friend Louise of Retro-Rimella can be seen in the photo wowing the crowds.  Check out her fabulous retro home accessories and gifts on her gorgeous re-vamped site

Our new Jo-Jo rings and Planet Collection sterling silver bracelets were very well received and we completely sold out of our new sterling silver version of our ever popular Make A Wish bracelets so now it's time to get back in the studio and make some more!!   x

Jo-Jo cute....

.... and so, so excited for our first Wilmslow Artisan Market tomorrow.  Despite our best efforts, and being super organised earlier in the week, we've ended up burning the midnight oil again preparing for tomorrow.  That's what happens when you get an unexpectedly early delivery of gorgeous beads, you just can't wait to start using them!  As a result, making their debut tomorrow are four new Jo-Jo rings.  They're made with tiny semi-precious turquoise and onyx beads flanking various stardust, corrugated bicone and rondelle sterling silver beads.  They are designed to be worn on their own and to complement the other charmed rings in our collection. 

We hope you like them and hope to see some of you tomorrow at Wilmslow.  Don't forget to come and say hello!  x

The Italian Job!

The Roman gods Jupiter, Saturn and Venus meet the Minis with our newly launched Planets and Mini Collections.  They arrived on the site yesterday and we're super excited to hear what you think.  Each collection features a 'base' bracelet available on its own or with a choice of charms ranging from cute heart, shamrock and crown to a gorgeous large chunky peace sign and amazing shiny and patterned hearts.  You'll be spoilt for choice with so many lovely pieces, each one looking great on its own and fabulous combined with others from the collections.  All the new bracelets feature our cute branded sterling silver tag to finish the look.

Make love not war!

There'll be a whole lot of lovin' going on with our new Inner Peace bracelet with over-sized peace bead.  It's not for the faint-hearted this one, with a super big 25mm neon pink sign nestling amongst turquoise beads you're really going to stand out from the crowd!

Coming up later a first peek at our new Planets Collection of sterling silver ball bracelets!!

Peppa Pig..... and pork pies

Jacy looking gorgeous on the stall!

... and some of our equally gorgeous jewellery

It may have been a little surreal, flanked by pie stalls as Peppa Pig made her entrance but we still had a fab day at the Wilmslow Big Party in the Park!  We were happy to see some regular customers and to meet lots of new ones and thank everyone who came to see our stall on Sunday.  We had prayed for sunshine and we got it.... mostly, although it occasionally felt like hurricane Irene was trying to lift the jewellery off the stall when a 'healthy breeze' whistled through the marquees!

We were straight back to the business of designing jewellery on Monday morning and we've got some super, super gorgeous new pieces to show you very soon!
