Introducing... Cinnamon Jewellery

Back in summer I asked people to share their shops so I could blog about my favourites. As always happens, life then got incredibly busy (it seemed like I was at a wedding every weekend!) and I didn’t find the time to do a post that would do them justice. But that doesn’t mean that I’ve forgotten! Here, and just in time for an Autumn pick-me-up (or some early Christmas shopping!) is one shop I particularly wanted to share - Cinnamon Jewellery.

I love everything in this shop, which specialises in handmade silver, copper and enamel jewellery, but I think my current favourite is this gorgeous orange enamel necklace with a sweet heart cut-out:

You can find this necklace and much more at www.cinnamonjewellery.folksy.com

Cinnamon is also a great example of the lovely new Folksy shop fronts, which I will hopefully be able to access later this month – just in time to really show off my gorgeous new photos from my photoshoot. My beautiful friend Ella has very kindly agreed to model for me, so I’ve been very excitedly collecting ideas for images – you can see them on the Pinterest board I’ve created here.

You're welcome! I hadn't - but the constant round of summer holidays/weddings/christenings rather spoiled my plan! Love your shop though, gorgeous items!

Explosion in a jewellery box

It took me ages to find a pretty way to store the jewellery for my Folksy shop . I didn't want it to get muddled up with my own jewellery, but at the same time I didn't just want to stick it all in a box. I also wanted something that I could take with me to craft shows. At first I used a French shabby-chic style mini jewellery mannequin, but it soon got full! Then I found a gorgeous bird-themed jewellery stand. Unfortunately I've been so busy making lovely new items recently that tha's got a bit stuffed too! Oh dear... (Sorry about the picture quality, I had to take them on my mobile) I think it's probably time to buy another jewellery stand. I want one that will complement my existing ones but not exactly the same. Any suggestions will be happily welcomed. And how do you all store your stock? Is it tucked away under a bed or proudly on display to make the most of any visitors?

Press releases - a basic guide

As a crafter/designer, I know there can be nothing more thrilling (and potentially profitable) than seeing your name in print. As a full-time journalist, I know there is nothing more likely to go straight in the trash folder than a bad press release. So. How do you maximise your chances of your local newspaper, glossy mag or specialist crafting magazine taking notice of you? I can't guarantee that these tips will get you press coverage, but they will certainly help. 1. Get the right person. Buy a copy of the publication or visit their website and find who the best person to contact is. Any email that starts "I'm not sure if you're the right person..." goes straight in my trash folder - it suggests that the sender has no respect for my time, which is over-full as it is, without wasting my time reading things that aren't relevent to me. If in doubt, ring and find out. While you're at it, find out what their deadlines are - and stick to them. 2. Get to the po...

Opinions needed

I have a beautiful, really delicate vintage filigree brooch in the shape of a butterfly. The trouble is, I can't decide whether to make it into a necklace or a bracelet. What do you guys think? (Sorry about the blurry photo - that's what happend when I only have my phone, not the proper camera):
