winter at RUST Yarmouth
27 October 2016
I have been working on our shop display and website photos today.
We have reshuffled our Yarmouth shop and added lots of new things...the window displays are almost finished. I hope to be uploading the new collection online within the next week.
Some things are only available for our shop, like candles and other handmade things.
T'was a home production ; )
I found these old pots in the antique market, actually I have bought many before from there and I just love 'em. They are all slightly different, and the more cracked or chipped the better if you ask me! I think they originally contained fish paste or mustard, that kind of pungent condiments. How funny those Victorians would think that these old pots would be filled with soy wax and fine essential oils and sold in a jewellery shop ; )
I made one whopper, that's for me! Actually I used it to drain out what was left after each different oil, so there is three layers of different scent in that big pot.
...and in their new shelf unit in the shop...
Some more photos I took for the website...
Our new collection is hand carved chevron and laurel leaf carved wreath necklaces, available in silver and 9ct yellow or rose gold.
So there are still a few more things to do in the shop before xmas, but I'm liking the festive smell in the shop very much : )

It's that time of the year again, cake making and present wrapping. I think birthdays are so important for littluns and I always want to do my best so that they have some good memories and some presents that they love.
a tiara from granny!
This year I bought P a little sewing machine of her own, with a bag filled with felt and fabric and a box of buttons and pins and things. And a book with some great ideas for kids making.
We made a bat together, you can see more of her makes over on my instagram.
and I was up till midnight putting up party decorations and making a cake flag ; )
We had a lovely party with just a few of her bestest friends and lots of family too.
On her actual birthday we visited Tapnell farm which is a place that we know she loves.
...and, we had the bouncy pillow all to ourselves, perfect.
I think we are all a bit knackered now! xxx
