Update on Miss Bohemia at Rosewill Cottage

Snapshot of Miss Bohemia designs at Rosewill Cottage

I wanted to update you on the 'Miss Bohemia' section at Rosewill Cottage in Whitley Bay, UK.  Owner, Dawn kindly updated the pic of my designs on receipt of some new pieces I sent her in the week.  My designs include Alice In Wonderland creations, vintage inspired bracelets, rings, bookmarks, mermaid jewellery, keepsake boxes etc! 

Something new...

One new addition is the variation of the Mermaid Secret treasures keepsake box which can be seen in the first photo above. I have also added a 'Book of Shadows' locket and some fabric based designs which include a pink patchwork shabby chic coin purse and a vintage script make-up/cosmetic purse, with more fabric designs to follow (see pic below). 

Something old...

My Phantom of the Opera Masked Rose Necklace is available again at Rosewill Cottage too!

Don't forget that in addition to my usual 'Miss Bohemia' square, in the month of December I will also have an additional 'Charity' square, where the sales made from my designs in the charity square will go directly to the charity 'Diabetes UK'. Details and pictures coming soon.

Stop by the new Rosewill Cottage website or add yourself to the Rosewill Cottage facebook page to find out more about UK designers and crafters who are stocked at the Cottage and also for more information on beading and crafting supplies and jewellery classes too.

The Winter Fey ~ A Magical treasury of Etsy Artists

The Winter Fey

Continuing with the up-and-coming Winter, I wanted to share a collection that I curated full of the designs of talented artists on Etsy.  The collection has been put together through Etsy's treasury tool, which allows you to showcase the work of others under a theme, topic, colour, mood and much more. 

I called this treasury the 'Winter Fey' as it was inspired by ethereal creatures and the magic Winter brings!  This treasury includes jewellery, candles, a wand, a crown, a sculptured treasure box, prints and artwork.

If you would like to know more about the design or the artist behind each piece, please click on the picture below.

Winter Wonderland and Winter Faeries

Winter Wonderland & Winter Faeries

 As I think about the up-and-coming Winter, my plans for a homemade Christmas and the end of year holiday season, I can't help but be inspired to create designs with a Wintery feel and all the magic that comes with this special time of year!   The beauty of glistening icicles and falling snow drops on trees and on the ground always set a beautiful scene, despite the often falling temperatures and coldness of the weather.

Christmas Winter Fairy Wishes Keepsake Box

My Winter selection includes this Christmas Fairy Wishes keepsake box which has been painted in winter white and highlighted with lots of sparkly silver glitter and then handstamped with images of fairies, snowdrops, crescent moons, stars and other winter graphics. The box also contains ice clear faux gems, a blue vintage script and includes the words 'Fairy Wishes', 'Have a Magical Christmas' and 'Winter Wonderland' has been stamped onto the back. The box is perfect for those with keepsakes collections, trinkets, jewellery and other treasures.

Winter Wonderland Sparkly Fairy Necklace

 

Winter Wonderland Sparkly Fairy Bag Charm Keyring

My Winter creations also include 2 of my current fairy designs which have been given a Winter makeover, complete with a mix of sparkling beads and pearls. These designs are also available with pink, purple and red accents.

Ice Queen Heart Of Glass Earrings

A stunning pair of 'Ice Queen' Heart of Glass earrings, created with iced glass hearts and acrylic diamond shaped clear beads, these earrings create a fairytale illusion enhanced by their iridescent rainbow shimmer!  They hang elegantly from the ears and make a perfect gift or treat!



White Winter Flowers Silver Leaf Bookmark

White Winter Rose Silver Leaf Dangle Earrings

The next 2 creations (shown above) take the form of silver leaf earrings which hold white roses and a matching bookmark. 

Winter Romance Charm Sparkly Bracelet & Earrings

I also created a romantic charm bracelet with matching earrings, which includes a range of snow and icicle inspired beads.  This magical set is perfect for Winter dances, proms, balls and as bridal jewellery.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing some of my Winter collection :-)

Are you already making plans for Christmas? Doing anything crafty or creative?
