It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

Well it's been a while since our last blog and that's because we've been uber busy here making lots of new jewellery and preparing for the various sales and Christmas markets we're taking part in over the run up to Christmas... but more about that later.

Since we last blogged we've had three more very successful markets at Wilmslow Artisan Market , Altrincham Vintage and Craft and Castlefield Artisan  All three are fab and they each have a very different feel.  Wilmslow is sited on a busy and bustling town high street which definitely comes alive on market day.  There's a real continental market town feel to the day with huge support from local residents enjoying the full experience of the market and bringing increased custom to the existing shops and cafe bars too.

Wilmslow Artisan Market - the high street comes alive!

Altrincham Vintage and Craft Market is sited in the covered market on Greenwood Street next to the Victorian indoor market building, a traditional market setting which complements the craft and vintage theme wonderfully.

On the third Sunday of the month the market is filled with vintage and artisan craft stalls each offering something very different and very individual.  The market has been taking place for several months now and has many regular return customers and is discovered by many new ones each event and is definitely well worth a visit!

Last, but by no means least is the Castlefield Artisan Market  A new market on the Artisan calendar, the December market will be the third and if the first two are anything to go by, it's definitely one not to miss!  Set in the wonderful Castlefield Basin area of Manchester this is a gem in the heart of the city.  It's situated in a lovely cobbled area under the railway arches and the first Sunday of the month it becomes a bustling 'town' filled with stalls selling a variety of delicious produce and artisan arts and crafts at their best.  Entertainment has been provided on both occasions by the fabulously energetic Cotton Town Hot Club and the November market saw the addition of Sax Solution.  They both help create a fabulous atmosphere and the next market is definitely one to put in your diary!

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?

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.

Tie It...Wish It...Wear It...

...then your dreams will come true!

We hope you like our new sterling silver 'Make A Wish' bracelets.  We love the sentiment behind them and the cute charms and pretty pastel colours of the cord.  Tie them tight then make a wish and don't take them off.  Don't be too sad though when the cord finally wears through because that means your wish will come true!

We're busy preparing for The Big Party in the Park at Wilmslow High tomorrow from 10am to 6pm.  Our beautifully packaged 'Make A Wish' bracelets will be there along with all our usual gorgeous pieces so don't forget to stop by and say hi and spoil yourself!  We're keeping our fingers crossed for the sunshine because there's lots going on and it's going to be a great day. 

Hope to see you there!

Life full of chaos? Find some Inner Peace!

Peace be with you!

We're super excited today because we've taken delivery of a package of gorgeous new charms from Thailand.  Amongst them are these beauties - now we just have to come up with the designs to match their amazingness! Can't wait!!
