More dash than cash: Charm necklace

Left to right: Dolce and Gabbana, J Crew, Made With Love

It seems that without intending to I've tapped into a designer trend. Two of the charm necklaces above are designer brands and retail for £595 and £120 respectively... one is a one-of-a-kind, handmade Made With Love special and costs just £30!

I hadn't seen the designer versions before I made mine, but I can understand why they're a "thing" at the moment. It's lovely to wear some proper bling in the run up to Christmas, and a charm necklace looks great with everything from a cashmere sweater to a little black dress, as you can see in the blog post I wrote about how to style it.

To make it even better, as today is "Cyber Monday", apparently the busiest online shopping day of the year, I'm offering 15% off all purchases at www.madewithlovebykat.etsy.com and www.madewithlove.folksy.com with the voucher code CYBERMONDAY. Happy shopping!

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):

A wet Wednesday watercolour project to try

I'm actually going to the theatre tonight, so it's more likely to be a soggy Thursday project, but I couldn't resist the alliteration! I fell in love instantly with this dip dyed watercolour stationary project from Paper & Stitch - definitely one for me to have a go at! I have card, but I also have little craft envelopes and TAGS (brilliant!) that would look amazing with this done.

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!
