The Quirky Alternative

30/06/2026

Hi Quirkers,

A huge apology for not being around on the last few weeks but I kinda had a wee heart attack and ended up having heart surgery. I'm 2 weeks post-op tomorrow (Wed) and feeling ok. I'll be taking it slow and steady for the next couple of months but that gives me plenty of time to create and make.

I'll attempt to get some stock online in the shop on the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for sticking around... you are all amazing

Mwahs with a mended heart

This wittle piggy went to market.....

As a seasoned clay maker in the past, I only used spray gloss on my earrings for the finish. Today I tried UV resin and HELLO game changer! Now to find a HUGE UV light with a shelf to do many pieces at a time.

UMM... Guess what?

We are coming back Quirkers!!! I can't thank you all enough for your patience & the messages to see if we were coming back. After a lot of consideration, a hell of a lot of reflection and a whole lot of family love needed over the last year, it's time to get back to the grind and get back to what I love doing... creating Quirky stuff.

Things might look a little different, but please know you will receive the usual quality and utmost customer attention as you have done in the past. You will see us at future markets, and we are working on getting the website up and running once again.

We are downsizing and will be concentrating on Quirky earrings, some new Polymer clay items and Enamel pins etc

Stay tuned for more updates as I find my groove again to bring you everything Quirky!!

Love ya Quirkers

xx J

Head down to the Lions Club Mudgee Twilight Markets this evening to support my daughter Ebby and her bestie Charlotte who are manning TQA stall tonight due to my injuries.

I'm sure they will run it better than me!

Thank you to my other half for being the muscles Matt
