Words to be inspired by...

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

A quote to live by...

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

Elvie's Charm

Two of my favourite clients have found me again to commission a charm for their daughter's first birthday.

The petals at the front slide across to reveal Elvie's name.

Tweety's Ios Heart...

Recently a friend I met in Greece, lets call him 'Tweety', sent me a little parcel in the mail to do with what i like. It was a pebble in the shape of heart which he found on the Greek island of Ios during his summer of 2010. Found amongst the abundance of rocks on greek beaches, this was special because of its shape and the moment of discovery was shared with someone special he also found on the beaches of Ios.

Story...

Dear friend Monique Germon has launched her new online store, entitled STORY: a tale in 2 parts.

In her words...
S T O R Y is the curation of ideas through product, word & the exploration of a new kind of narrative.

We take pleasure in exhibiting the work of individuals who make a significant contribution through the production of exceptional art & design.

We also take great pleasure in exhibiting the brands of like-minded others that produce items that transcend conventional market standards.

S T O R Y reveres authenticity above all & pays homage to this as a style unto itself. In other words, were born rural and remain so.

Most importantly, we honour the act of storytelling as an art form.


You will find some of my work in the jewellery category!
