New Ranges
Elementals
After last month's exclusive sneak peek for you, my lovely Newsletter subscribers, I'm pleased to announce the release of my latest range, 'Elementals'. Taking my inspiration from nature and the Zodiac, I have created a series of pendants celebrating both the seasons and the elements. Fire, Water, Earth, Air - Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter.. all will be represented! You can check out the current releases here. If there's any theme you particularly like, and would like a custom made pendant or ring of your very own or as a gift for someone special, get in touch with me and I'd be happy to help!

Worthy Causes
Addis Ababa Hamlin Fistula Hospital
I was glad to donate 10% of all sales from last month to the Addis Ababa Hamlin Fistula Hospital. They provide life-changing surgery and ongoing support to the many Ethiopian women who suffer horrific childbirth injuries which they suffer due to lack of the basic health care we take for granted. You can read more about that here.

Wild, Weird & Wonderful
Octo
You must check out these amazing creations by Anthony Howe. They are kinetic sculptures, which have a weird and wonderful organic flow to them. Mesmerising and beautiful, and a little bit sci-fi! The only way to fully appreciate these spectacular pieces is to see them in action, so click through to Anthony's website, and be sure to watch the movies, won't you! (Anthony's work is now on my dream garden wishlist. Ahhh, imagine!!)
