Press update - lots of lovely features about my jewellery

There have been so many features about my jewellery in the run-up to this Christmas, I just wanted to share some of them with you.
The biggest mention was in the Mirror's online piece about Cyber Monday deals. I managed to persuade the lovely journalist that she should support independent businesses by including me and she did! It was a crazy sales day for my Etsy store and I felt exhausted but elated by the end of it:

There's been some great local support from Business Boom Bolton who ran a lovely piece on their website. I'd like to get more local press - I know when my local Twitter feed Horwich Gossip RT anything I post it leads to a huge spike in views for my shop. It really backs up my feeling that you should shop local wherever possible:

Two fab blogs have also written pieces about me. I was included in the gorgeous Christmas Advent Calendar over on Dress With Press, and Pebble Zine ran a lovely interview with me about why we should buy British this Christmas:

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):

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?

Win a bracelet!

It's competition time! Would you like to win a one of a kind bracelet made from a vintage brooch, chunky amazonite nuggets, rock crystal, pretty pink Peruvian opal and Swarovski crystals? One that fastens with a cute heart-shaped toggle clasp? I thought so! Just to whet your appetite a bit more, here's a couple of pictures: Because it's nearly Valentine's Day I thought I'd have a bit of a soppy theme. So, to win all you have to do is follow me on Twitter here (if you're not already a follower, if you are you can get retweeting right away) and RT any of my tweets that mention the words "Valentine's", "love", "romance" or "romantic". For each RT you will be entered into the draw (no more than one an hour, though!). For two bonus entries, just blog about Made With Love or this competition. The competition runs until midnight on February 9th and I will be announcing the winner then via this blog. Good luck!
