I Can't remember where i discovered Get Eurofied but I'm glad i did!

Get Eurofied is a box filled with samples from independent crafters. It gives you the opportunity to see, try and use some great items handcrafted from the heart of Europe! I can't wait to order one myself as well as take part.I will be busy making some small samples to send in the next month.

Get Eurofied boxes are available to purchase through etsy.com to anyone, you just pay different postage rates depending on where you live.

Click here to purchase one or visit their website for more information. I'd love to hear from anyone who has taken part or has already purchased a Get Eurofied box already.

Have you seen notmassproduced.com? I've listed a few items on my shop there over the last few weeks. I've also been looking at what other lovely items are for sale on there and have picked a few of my favourites to share with you.

First up is this lovely Silhouette brooch from Becca Williams.


I love this ceramic pendant by Anne Williams. See Anne's shop for more great pendants and brooches. I love them!


And finally, these lush violet hoops from Quercus Silver. Must say i love anything from Quercus Silver, see the rest of the shop here.

Porcelain Magnets

I'm very excited by the new brooches, magnets and earring I got out of the kiln on Tuesday. I've used a semi porcelain clay which works really well with the green glaze shown here. I've also just listed these two beatuies in my folksy shop here.


Here is a mini preview of some of the green ones laid out. I've also been testing some black, grey, blue, pink and red glazes which I'll share with you soon.
