This week we decided to take the plunge and order some more silver. Things are a bit tight at the moment so it was a big decision but the earrings have really taken off, especially the Happy design which we sold out of in November last year. Happy is by far my favourite design too… Read more »
I love embroidery, I’ve dabbled since I was a child and even taught a few workshops at Craft Candy. So you can imagine how blown away I was when I found this work by artist, Stacey Page.
