I live in the beautiful North of England and love making new things from old things and searching for interesting pretty things to make into jewellery. When I’m not making jewellery I’ll usually be drinking tea (earl grey is my favourite), cooking something yummy and veggie or pottering around antiques places and bringing home random pretty things for my little house.

At the moment I have some beautiful chandelier crystals that I’m playing with, such beautiful things. I also have lots of bees and birds in too as my Spring range is called ‘The Birds and the Bees’. I'm particularly fond of bees as the worker bee is the symbol of my fair city. Manchester.
