Really excited to have set up some space in the wonderful justus_craft_fashion in Sevenoaks today with a large selection of my charm earrings and semi-precious bracelets.

All earrings are made with hypoallergenic surgical steel earrings wires and the semi-precious bracelets have a hypoallergenic stainless steel bead in them.

A wonderful shop with a lovely range of fashion wear, gifts and accessories. You can find the shop on Dartford Road, Sevenoaks.

Hopefully we’ll see more of this sunshine ☀️ that we got a glimpse of this week (before it turned back to grey and rain ☔️ 😩

Regardless of the weather now, I’m planning for ☀️

A little sneak peak of my brand new range of anklets, which will be available online very soon. Made from stainless steel wire and clasps, you can go in both the pool and the sea without ruining your anklet.

Really exciting to be creating a birth stone range of anklets as well as some other gorgeous colours 😍

Perfect for sunny days home and away!

Apologies that I have been quiet for January - it’s always the time of year when I have to try and catch up on all the things I couldn’t do in the manic last few months of the year.

First on the list was my accounts. Never again am I leaving that for months on end 🙈🙈

I did work out though, I’m 2025 I used over 170kg of clay and over 100kg of plaster 😱 that’s an awful lot of casting kits made and sold!

Now it feels like a challenge to make even more in 2026!

I’m loving seeing all the pictures of the beautiful casts you’ve been making, it’s wonderful to see what lovely botanicals are being used throughout the year.

Did you know that you can also buy single and double refill kits for both my large and small botanical casting kits?

Well that’s a Christmas wrap! 😉

The only thing left to do is to pack down the hut in Canterbury this afternoon and then I’m finally finished for Christmas! 🎄

It’s been an incredible few months at so many different events and I am so grateful for every single person who visited me at the many events around the country, this winter and bought from and supported my small business.

I’ve loved every minute of it, but I can’t wait for a rest before I get back into making in a couple of weeks 🙈

Merry Christmas to everyone and I hope 2026 is full of health, happiness and peace for you and your family.
