I'm not simply making and shipping jewellery. I'm creating pieces that carry meaning, memories, stories, and sometimes deep emotions.
Whether it's a memorial piece made from a loved one's ashes or a piece of jewellery lovingly created from broken china, every item is important to me because I know it is important to you too.
As much love and care goes into the final gifting of my pieces as it does into making them from start to finish. Every detail matters. 💞
When I pack a completed order, it isn't simply placed in a bag and sent. (OMG don't think I could cope doing that! my OCD would go into overdrive! )
Each item is carefully boxed, gift-wrapped, and finished with little sentimental touches, such as dried flowers, and a hand written note.
why? because I believe the experience of receiving something special should feel just as precious as the item itself.
I've received gifts through the post that arrived in nothing more than a jiffy or grey plastic bag, and while that may suit some businesses, it has never been my way. Everything has to feel right, look right, and be received in the way it was intended, with thought, care, and compassion. 💝
This is simply who I am. I've always believed that showing care matters. The journey doesn't end when I've finished making a piece; it ends when it reaches its new home and is opened with the same love and attention that went into creating it.
For me, the presentation is part of the gift, and I enjoy that part too.
The unwrapping is part of the experience. And every customer deserves to feel how much care has gone into their order from the very beginning to the very end. 🥰
Hand made with love and care, from start to finish.

I received a surprise gift in the post.

I received a wonderful gift from a lovely antique dealer who contacted me after seeing my jewellery in Country Living magazine.
She had a collection of broken bone china pieces that were otherwise destined for landfill and wanted to see them given a new life instead. Her generosity and thoughtfulness have really touched me, and I'm so excited to see what these beautiful fragments become.
A lovely reminder that there are some truly kind people in the world. 💙
She wouldn't take any payment for the pieces or cost of the postage, in her words she was 'paying it forward' 🥰
a beautiful thoughtful gift from a stranger ❤️

Tomorrow’s the day! 🎉

I’ll be at the fair at Trinity Church, Bradford on Avon from 10am–3pm, .makers.market and I’m ridiculously excited, mainly because it’s the first fair I’ve done in absolutely ages!

Getting ready has been a bit like revising for an exam you forgot you’d signed up for. I've been digging out display stands, finding labels, locating things I haven’t seen for years, washing table clothes etc and generally reminding myself how on earth eventing works. 🤪

But there are lots of exciting firsts too:

First time exhibiting in Somerset.
First time showcasing my handmade broken china jewellery at a fair.
First outing for my newest pieces.

Every piece is handmade by me with plenty of blood, sweat, tears (yes them - lots of them 🥲) and the occasional muttered swear word when china doesn’t behave itself. 😂

If you're looking for a unique gift, celebrating a wedding, or marking a 20th china wedding anniversary, there might just be something perfect waiting for you.

And if you have a treasured family heirloom plate tucked away, bring it along. I'd love to chat about transforming it into a unique piece of jewellery, a special keepsake that can be worn, loved and passed on, rather than simply stored away or eventually going to land fill 😪

So if you're nearby, do pop in, say hello, and come and have a browse. Even if it's just to check that I've remembered how to do a fair! 🤞👍

Looking forward to seeing some friendly faces tomorrow. ❤️

Oops... I've done it again! 😁

I've only gone and earned my Star Seller badge again this month. 🥳

I'm ridiculously pleased about it because, honestly, I put a lot of love, time, and effort into my business.

I know Etsy gets a bit of a bashing sometimes, and I often read posts from people saying it's too expensive or they're leaving. But for me? It's been brilliant. 👍

I can make a sale while I'm walking the dog, sitting in the pub, soaking in the bath (don't worry, no reveal photos 😆), or even asleep. In fact, some of my favourite notifications are the ones I wake up to in the morning. 🥰

I don't have shop keys to lose, rent to worry about, or a high street premises to heat and maintain. Instead, I get to run a business that fits around my life while reaching customers and some now friends I would never have met otherwise. 🫂

And yes, Etsy takes fees. But it also helps people find my work, promotes my products, provides support and advice, and has given me the opportunity to grow a sustainable business doing something I genuinely love. 💞

That doesn't mean I've forgotten independent shops. Quite the opposite. I love collaborating with independent shops and having my work stocked in lovely shops, cafés, and creative spaces. Supporting other independent businesses works both ways. 💝

Anyway, this is a very long-winded way of saying I'm feeling rather chuffed with my 5 stars again this month
⭐️ 🫶

Thank you to everyone who has bought from me, shared my work, left a review, liked a post, or cheered me on. Every bit of support helps me continue growing a business I genuinely love, and I never take that for granted.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to see if I can accidentally earn another star for next month... 😉

Coming to Creative Makers Market this Saturday 6th June in Bradford on Avon? .makers.market
Do you have a treasured bone china plate, saucer or dish that you'd love to see transformed into jewellery?

Bring it along and I'll be happy to advise on whether it is suitable and what types of jewellery I can created from it.

Plates and saucers are often ideal, while more curved pieces such as cups can be more challenging, but I am. always happy to take a look and discuss the possibilities.

I have some exciting news!
Next Saturday, 6th June, I'll be exhibiting for the first time since moving to Somerset, woop woop!
I'm absolutely delighted to be joining the wonderful Creative Makers event in beautiful Bradford-on-Avon. .makers.market
I shall be showcasing my handcrafted broken china jewellery, mosaic jewellery keepsakes, and nature-inspired gifts.

My nature-inspired pieces have been featured in Country Living magazine, and I'm looking forward to sharing them in person with visitors.

I've been busy creating new pieces for the event and am so grateful for the recent orders and support I've received.

It's going to be a lovely day, and I'm especially looking forward to meeting other talented artisans and makers who create their own beautiful handmade work.
If you live local, and you are looking for a unique gift, a meaningful keepsake, or simply enjoy discovering handcrafted treasures, I'd love for you to come along and say hello.

I can't wait to meet everyone! 💙🌿

Grief is a strange thing. 😢
It raises its head when you least expect it, especially around dates and anniversaries.
Yesterday was eight years since I lost my mum.
The strange thing is, we were never especially close.
My mum never hid the fact that work came first, and she often made it clear that having a family wasn’t what she wanted.
That’s a painful thing to grow up with, no matter how much you try to earn someone’s love.
And yet, I was always so proud of her.
She was an incredible seamstress who worked for renowned London couturiers and was even part of the team that made Princess Diana’s wedding dress, though she never boasted about it.
That just wasn’t who she was.
There are memories that still hurt. Like the time I rang her feeling very low and asked if I could come over, and she said no because she was going to bingo! gawd that hurt.
i recall how that made me feel and thinking I could never turn someone away who needed me.
Maybe that’s what grief does sometimes. It doesn’t just make us miss people, it shapes the people we choose to become.
One thing I promised myself was that the relationship I have with my son would be different. Open. Honest. Loving. That if he needs me, I’ll be there. No hesitation. The same goes for the people I care about. (and strangers too)
Recently, I repaired a pair of trousers and a jumper for my son, and oddly enough, that’s what really hit me. Because if my mum hadn’t shown me how to do those things, I wouldn’t have known how.
Isn’t that the strange thing about grief? Even complicated love leaves threads behind. Little pieces of someone woven quietly into your life, long after they’re gone.

Grief is complicated when love and hurt exist together.

But despite everything, I hope my mum is happy. I hope she’s found the family she deeply missed, and I hope she’s back with my dad so they can carry on nagging each other like they always did! 🤣

Eight years without my mum.
And still, sometimes, I wish I could ring her up and ask, “How you doing?” and guess what...

Making a sentimental keepsake is always such an honour, and being trusted with a cherished family piece is a real privilege. This particular saucer belonged to the client’s grandmother and is the only remaining piece from her English fine bone china dinner set, which has made the process especially meaningful and understandably nerve-racking. 😰
When creating jewellery from vintage china, there’s always an element of unpredictability. Even with careful preparation, warming the china beforehand and cutting as gently and precisely as possible, there’s never a guarantee that the piece will break exactly as intended. Ideally, having a spare plate or saucer offers a little reassurance, but in this case, there was only this one small saucer to work with, from which three matching pieces needed to be made for special silver keepsakes.
Thankfully, I’ve successfully cut the first piece, but I still have two more to go, so apprehensive is definitely the word.
I’m keeping everything crossed and trusting that the cutting gods will be on my side for the final two pieces.
Here’s a little glimpse at the work in progress so far. this beautiful English bone china piece is more than 'just a saucer' they will be keepsakes that will carry both memories of a special loved one.

I’m incredibly particular about my work and won’t send a piece out unless I’m completely happy with every detail. I don't hide that I am a perfectionist and passionate too, tis a huge part of who I am as a maker and is reflected in the quality, finish, and uniqueness of every bespoke piece I create.
No two items are ever exactly the same, which makes each keepsake as special and individual as the memories behind it.

“Thank you so much. I’m so happy with how you’ve created this, and so grateful for your kindness and compassion too. Now...

“Thank you so much. I’m so happy with how you’ve created this, and so grateful for your kindness and compassion too. Now he will be with me always.”

Receiving messages like this truly means the world.
I recently had the honour of creating a silver paw pendant in memory of a beautiful black cat called Sam. His ashes were carefully set within the piece using black enamel, alongside some of his fur and one tiny claw, making it deeply personal and unique to him.

There were also some very fine ashes that were too delicate to place into the pendant itself, so I created a small “pocket hug” keepsake with the remaining ashes, so every part of Sam could stay close to his owner.

It is always such a privilege to be trusted with something so precious and filled with love.
