So, it’s Black Friday - Cyber Monday weekend, which means it’s time to offer some discounts. I’m keeping it simple and offering 20% off all jewellery and all beads. The coupon code you need to enter when you check out is: BLACKCYBER20. !! And it’s active right now !! - through till the end of Monday, 1st December. This will be the last sale I have before Christmas, so if you’ve had your eye on something, now would be a good time to go shopping. The bead shop isn’t as full as I’d like but there’s still a couple of pages of items up for grabs. There are lots of pieces in the jewellery shop. They’ll soon be joined by this lot. I’ve been busy making winter-y pieces, partly in preparation for the Christmas market in Frome. If you’d like any of these pieces listing now so you can take advantage of the code when paying, do let me know, via Etsy or Facebook.

When it gets to this time of year I just want everything white.

It would be nice if the background of my photos was white but the winter light won’t allow it. The spike craze lasts through every season… I’m a bit taken with this next bracelet; If it doesn’t sell I won’t be too upset.

This last bracelet is super simple and not terribly innovative (not that I claim that anything I make is at all innovative), but it’s just so pretty, and pretty darn gift-able too, I reckon. Again:

I’ve made quite a few bracelets in the last day or so. I thought this button was a fox; turns out it’s a wolf.

And here’s a definite departure from all that white.

(lampwork lentil - Moogin; lampwork disc - Rachel Cohen)

(lampwork bead - Puffafish; enamel flower - Gardanne; beaded beads - Rebecca Anderson)

I’m kinda taken with the next bracelet too… There’s some vintage beauties in it which the supplier doesn’t have in stock anymore.

Surprise, surprise - another one of these! -

I’ll leave you with a trio of earrings.

I can’t decide whether I like the pink wheels on these tip earrings. Opinions would be appreciated:

And that’s the lot. As I said, I’m happy to list any of these if you want to use the discount code - BLACKCYBER20 - to get 20% off. And here’s a link to the bead shop and the jewellery shop so you can have a little browse, see if there’s anything you fancy…

Before I go: Happy Thanksgiving to all of you celebrating out there!
