It's that time of the year when I start to make new things for the shop!
This winter I have been reading all about Celtic traditions. It is absolutely fascinating, and it all makes so much sense to me.
Celebrating the turning of the seasons, the way in which the sun ultimately affects everything we do to survive. Appreciating the world around us in the tiny details of life. I think we have become way too wrapped up in our human-made world, with human-made problems, we forget about what is really going on around us, as creatures that are just inhabitants of this same planet as many other species.
Even the most 'powerful' humans are only powerful for what they can destroy, not what they can create. It is a sad state of affairs. But, yet, we couldn't exist with out the tiny pollinators, and they cannot exist with out the sun. We all come from and return to the soil, after all this power...to destroy, yet the sun will still create life as long as it burns.
I therefore present to you my new collection, devoted to the Sun!
The dark, the light and the equal lights - Solstice & Equinox pendants.
Ostara, Spring - A talisman of renewal and quiet beginnings — narcissus, primrose and egg symbols honour rebirth, balance and the first stirring of light after winter’s rest.
Litha, Summer Solstice — The height of the sun’s power — a symbol of vitality, warmth and life in full bloom.
Mabon, Autumn Equinox — Oak leaf and acorns speak of strength, grounding and the quiet wisdom of harvest and letting go.
Each pendant is available in 9ct Gold, Sterling Silver or Bronze.
I also recently added some new Rain Cloud Earrings and Cloud ring to the Nocturne Collection too!
...and some very twinkly Shooting Star Earrings with moonstones.
An Aether necklace to go with the earrings, in sterling silver and freshwater pearl.
And, lastly, some little Maris earrings also with freshwater pearls. These are sown in silver but can be ordered in gold, just get in touch!
So that's it for my update!
Spring is really happening here in the UK and I cannot wait to get in the sea and lie in the garden. I have ordered a new sun lounger for my patch of lawn, and that is where I hope to be for most of the summer.
Of course I will be back here to post about our holiday adventures too, which I hope there will be many. I'm still not brave enough to sacrifice our savings for a holiday abroad (it's scary when you have an irregular income) and my car is on its last legs too (or wheels?) so it maybe more camping again, which I think the kids have grown out of sadly! I will really have to think of ways to entertain them, as a bucket and some sand doesn't work anymore ha ha!
Wish me luck xx
I post over on my jewellery website too btw... Only Through Shadows
