Phew… it takes so much time to photograph, edit, price, write descriptions and upload new jewellery on to my web site, it sometimes feels never-ending! 
But you can’t buy what you can’t see so it is obviously important to do this now and then. I am in the process of adding a whole load of new items to my online jewellery shop so please bear with me and very soon there will be lots of new lovelies to browse! I will post again when they are up there, just so you don’t miss them!
I will also, hopefully soon, have time to work on new autumn and winter 2011/2012 designs which is really exciting, so watch this space for when they are coming. I’m thinking deep blues and mossy greens, perhaps rich purples and muted pinks, and of course my favourite neutrals; greys and browns!
Right, back to editing photos…
Hi again,
I met Joe Booth of Futurespace Magazine at the Hidden Art Design Fair a few weekends back and he has now kindly mentioned me in his blog post “Cornwall Design Fair 2011” which is his show report for the Fair. He was particularly interested in my Pebbles range which I am adding to all the time. Currently it consists of my very popular Pebble Brangle, Pebble Stack pendants and the new Pebble Stack earrings. More will come in the future! Here are pics of some of them:
Thanks to Joe for featuring me, all publicity helps!
Cheers,
Carin
Hello all!
I am pleased to say I will be at the Yard Exchange at the Royal William Yard in Plymouth (U.K.) this weekend (16-18 September 2011). This is an outdoor market on The Green in this prestigous new development which used to be occupied by the Royal Navy. The market is rumoured to be the new unique and alternative shopping experience in Plymouth, “a market for independent, and exciting design”, so well worth a look. I will be there with my handmade silver and gemstone jewellery and hope to see you there! The market will be open 10am to 7pm on Friday 16th September and 10am to 5pm on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th September.
Cheers,
Carin
Hi all,
I have finally got around to photographing and uploading a bunch of my summery bracelets that I made before the summer. I know it is getting closer to autumn now, but most of them are suitable for all year round wear! So here are a few of them, one sweetie looking one, an earthy green, vibrant Peruvian Opal, a soft blue and green, and a pink one. More on my bracelet page.
Soon I will upload some new designs for autumn, but am also busy catching up with a lot of jewellery that hasn’t yet gone online, so watch this space! Or rather the “New” page which lists newly uploaded designs.
Until next time…

Hi all!
Just a quick one to say that I will be exhibiting at the Hidden Art Design Fair 2011 at Trereife House, Penzance this weekend. It is a big fair with a varied offer of British and mainly Cornish designers and makers. So if you are in the area do pop in, it will be well worth it! Tonight is a private view between 6pm and 8pm which, if you are interested you can call me (07969 and 559 and 385) for tickets (usually £6). If I don’t have any left I will offer a £6 off any purchase. The fair then starts at 11am Saturday until 6pm and the same again on Sunday. The £6 ticket includes access to the house etc. Hope to see you there!
Cheers,
Carin
Hello again!
Having just done a fair in Truro this weekend gone, I am now taking a little break – to get married! Off to Sweden on Tuesday and so I am closing my online shop from tomorrow, 20th of July until the 10th of August. I will still take orders, but order confirmations will be a little slow and orders will be shipped again from the 11th of August.
When I am back I am going to be exhibiting at Hidden Art’s Cornwall Design Fair at Trereife House near Penzance in late August, check my events page for details and other events. It will be a great design fair with a wide range of products on offer. Have a look at Cornwall Design Fair for more details.
Wish me luck!

I love turquoise! A while ago I found a supply of really interesting little turquoise cabs that I am slowly getting around to using in my jewellery. I have used them for rings before, but recently made a little cute pendant using one of them. It measures 12mm across and displays gorgeous blues and greens with black and brown veining. In this pendant I have simply set it in sterling silver and added a few granules. The silver is patinated and hand polished for depth. I have used a ball chain which is probably my favourite chain to use. I have a bunch of these little stones so we’ll see what else I come up with! Earrings perhaps…
Ta’ra!

Just a quick note to say that I have now updated my list of events for 2011, better late than never! Not as many events as previous years, partly due to me now having a soon to be 1-year-old to look after. Partly also due to me trying to concentrate on online sales instead of too many arts and crafts events. I am however always open for visits to my workshop, by appointment.
Cheers,
Carin
