Inspired: Scilly

This year I am delighted to once again have my jewellery for sale at The Bulb Shop on St Agnes in Scilly. Sadly for me, Adrian and Amanda Pearce who run the little shop are retiring after this season, but I'm quite sure that they have earned a happy retirement on the beautiful island that is their home. In the meantime, do pop in to The Bulb Shop if you are lucky enough to be visiting Scilly. St Agnes is utterly unspoilt and the shop is a real treasure trove! Here are a few of my pieces that are currently on sale in Scilly... Green and Gold Scilly Flora crochet wire bracelet (inspired by Bermuda Buttercups!) Starfish Earrings in Crystal Copper Scilly Night Sky mesh wire & crystal brooch Crystal Cockle Shell pendant in Gold Silver Sea mesh wire & crystal brooch And here are a couple that have recently sold! (Don't worry, you can still get them via our website!) Starfish Earrings in Teal Blue St...

At last, Spring is well and truly here and that means the start of a new season in Scilly is already underway.

I have often ducked into his bulb shed, sometimes to escape a downpour and happily picked out a few varieties for my garden while listening to the rain drumming on the roof.

Summer may be over but we haven't left behind the floral theme that we embraced earlier this year thanks to these gorgeous vintage style flower rings. They were a big hit at the Spring Just Makers Fair at Harlow Carr in Harrogate and we're bringing them back for Autumn/Winter as we think they'd make a really sweet stocking filler! With Downton Abbey back on our screens, the trend for vintage is still big and we love the vintage vibe that these rings simply exude! You can now purchase our delicious dahlia flower rings online at this link:  http://etsy.me/1uGiqn0  or if you're more of a rose lady, choose from our ravishing rose rings at http://etsy.me/1EyhZSl  . You can select from an assortment of colours to suit everyone. We think this gorgeous grey is going to be a big hit for Winter! And if you like these or are looking for some unique gifts for Christmas, head on over to The Bath House at RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate from November 7th to November 23rd wher...
