Scenes from MAYA & RUHI at Old Spitalfields Market

Glad to report: all went with MAYA & RUHI at Old Spitalfields, without any major hitches or squabbles.  Although the day's takings weren't fantastic, we all had great fun!

Maya the Muscle.  Doesn't look like it, but this girl can lug the shop-in-a-suitcase up and down flights of steps in the Underground.  O_O!

Before...

... and After. :)

Lots of gushing-over, and tryings-on, and a few sales.  All in all the day went really quickly.  It wasn't as busy as I expected, but at least we managed to cover cost.  I suppose it's still a little early for Christmas shopping.

Lunch break for the hardworking.  Chicken Chow Mein!

 As such, there's a whole lot more I will be putting up at the online shop.  As soon as I get round to photographing all of them, and sitting at the computer for a couple of hours.  Watch this space! ;)

Ready to Roll

Gosh, has it seriously been THAT long?

I have no idea what happened, but the time has just flown by.  I guess a month-long visit to Singapore, and coming back to Wimbledon, settling into routines, and now preparing MAYA & RUHI for the holiday season, just takes its toll.  On the blog.

I am otherwise very excited to report that I have put ink to paper with regards to setting up shop for a day at the historic Old Spitalfields Market on October 13th.  So right now, I am super busy getting enough stock crafted up, and getting ready the nitty-gritty, like having enough packaging, effective signage, earrings stands, mirors...  Really, you can never be too ready.

It's cold, wet and dark today.  But I feel so good about winter approaching, for some reason.  As nice as it is to enjoy a warm summer day picnicking in the park, I like a cold, wet autumn day for cosying up at home by the heater, and getting down to some housework and crafting. :)

Some of the new Klimts that will be at Old Spitalfields come October 13th!

New Stuff

I should have done this a long time ago, these teeny-tiny Chic and Unique hoops.  Coz they're SO cute!  And for some, a lot easier to wear. 

And I love how the huge ones are so funky and sexy, and these teeny-tiny ones are so modern and dainty...

... with Swarovski cream pearls...

... with faceted purple glass...

... with a chandelier of deep teal Swarovski crystals.

New Stuff

I'm on a roll (at the worktable) with these gorgeous slices of banded agates.  They're literally slices of rock, so every one is absolutely one of a kind.  No chance of turning up at a do, and someone is wearing the exact same thing.  I hate when that happens.

Purple and Amber

Seafoam Green

Hot Pink

New Stuff!

Some in the shop, some not quite yet... so here's heads up! ;)

Do check at the store for more pics and prices.  And remember, the Mother's Day sale is now on!  See you at the shop! :)

Mother's Day Sale

It's weird. But for some reason, Mother's Day in the UK is somewhere in March.  Whereas I've grown up with the American version in May.  As such, I'm doing a Mother's Day Sale!

15% off the listed price, storewide.  All you have to do is use the Coupon Code MOM15 at checkout.  So go ahead and take your pick! :)

Collar Me Fancy

I discovered these recently, and can't get over how absolutely fabulous they are.  Collar necklaces: accessory, jewelry, or clothing?  Plus, the looks you can put to them are endless...

New Stuff in the Shop!

The BOHO Drop

I call these my Drops...

The CLEOPATRA Drop
Turquoise, Sodalite, Faceted Glass

The REGALE Drop
Rutilated Quartz, Sodalite, Onyx

I love how the Drops are simple, delicate and elegant.  And depending on the colour/stone scheme, can exude and depict such strong character.  They also swing about ever so sweetly on the lobes.  Absolutely dah-ling!

Work(s) In Progress

Two commissions...


This is a pair of party earrings for C, who fancied the designs of my Byzantine bracelets, and wanted me to translate them into earrings, to go with a pair of very sexy purple satin stilettos. Yum!

I'm all done with the prototype, with amethysts, garnets, onyx, and Swarvoski cream pearls. I'll be taking this apart and working on the final, with slightly finer wire, which I think will give the entire thing an even more sleek and sophisticated look.

This here is going to be a triple strand choker, with stone charms on the toggle clasp, another signature format of mine. T wants something that will look smart enough for work (she's a lawyer), but at the same time something not so stuffy that she looks like a complete nerd. ;)

I adore this gorgeous bunch of faceted turquoise. It's cute, and classy. I'm wireworking them, as opposed to stringing all of them along, so that each little bead can show off its gorgeous faceting and lovely light brown veins, and shine on it's own... :)
