Spookiness

Its getting closer and closer to my favouritest time of year, halloween!! Are you going to a party this year? Getting dressed up? Or do you just love all things spooky and cute? Good, me too. So I thought I'd find some lovely halloweeny products for you to swoon over.

Firstly, here's one of mine :)



He's such a cute wee ghostie, isn't he? I'm planning on wearing this brooch all year round, but even if it'll just be for Halloween you can get your very own Spooky Ghostie Brooch over at my shop right now!



Or how about this gorgeous wee ghostie stamp? How cute?! Skull and Cross Buns makes so many amazing handcarved stamps, but this is definately one of my favourites. Perfect for adding to cards or gift bags this Halloween.



Next, we have an awesome bat pendant from Sneddonia Designs. I LOVE the gorgeous beads she's used in this, plus its a bat which is just plain cool! (You may remember my fondness of bats). Have a peak in her Etsy shop at her other amazing wire creations.



Kim of Finest Imaginary designs some amazing laser cut jewellery, one of which is this ace zombie necklace! I love the detailing, like the dangly eyeball and bite out of his head. CUTE!

Magpie Market

If you're in or near Edinburgh on Sunday, then head down to Magpie Market at The Lot, Grassmarket from 12pm where you can meet me and loads of other cool, crafty peeps!



I was at Magpie last year and it was wonderful, so am really excited to be there again this year. While you're in the area you can also visit the awesome The Spider and the Fly shop (run by Magpie Market organisers), the new Hannah Zakari shop AND a whole bunch of other awesome vintagey and craft shops nearby.

I will be updating you on all of these things over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out. Head over to the shop and bagsy your favourites before they disappear for ever! Oh, and here's a wee sneak peak of part of my new shop design - just ordered some Moo minicards and this will be one of them :)

Photos and Photoshoots...

Hey folks, hope you're all enjoying the sunshine!! I can't believe how gorgeous the weather has been lately, its amazing how much it affects my mood and makes me smile. This past week has been so good, I hope its been just as sunny and gorgeous where you are!

I was at Sloan's Market with SpoiltPig yesterday and it was great to get some pictures of my handmade prettyness in the sun! Here's a couple for you to see, head over to Facebook for more.






Not sure if it's the sun going to my head or what, but I've had an idea and hopefully you can get involved! It might be a bit mad but have a wee read and leave me comments or email me if you think you can help me.

Basically, for ages now I've wanted to do some kind of proper photoshoot involving my jewellery and accessories. And lately I've been thinking how fun it would be to collaborate with folk and do some kind of joint photoshoot with all our stuff, that we'd all equally benefit from. No money would exchange hands - instead we'd be sharing knowledge, skills, experience, publicity, cake and hopefully lots of giggles!

So if you're a designer, maker, crafter, creative person, photographer, stylist, model or just someone who wants to come along and bring some cake - let me know!! I see this as being something Glasgow/Scotland based for now. We find some awesome localtion (in my mind its somewhere kitschy-retro-vintage-awesome-tastic), we all bring along some stuff (clothes, jewellery, accessories, homewares, props etcetc.), potentially some photography geek looking for experience gets clicking a camera though I'm sure we can all pitch in, maybe someone who knows stuff about lights too? Got Photoshop/Gimp/photo-editing skills? Then you can do any editing that needs done - and voila! We've got ourselves some cool indie photos that we can all use, providing credit is given to everyone involved. Get in touch through commenting here or emailing me and hopefully we can get something cool and indie orgainsed! :D
