Looking back on 2011

I cannot believe 2012 is here already!

I just wanted to share a few of my highlights of 2011, lots has been happening that you may not be aware of 

So in February I was featured in a 2 page spread of a local glossy magazine

In March I became part of the Warwick Tweetup where I have made some amazing friends

In April I exhibited at the BCTF trade fair

In July I pitched to Liberty in London and then was featured in a Spanish publication

In August I launched my new greeting card range. A lovely member of Warwick Tweetup helped with all my photo's to make my products come to life!

In November I had the privilege of making a necklace for Beverley Knight, I went to see her gig in Leamington Spa and met her afterwards. She is very, very down to earth and has inspired me a lot.

In December I won The London Jewellery School's competition for best design. I won a voucher to go towards a course and shall be learning how to make a wooden ring.

I have lots of plans for 2012, I'm very excited but nervous too as I am determined to push myself out of my comfort zone a bit more.

I won something!

I cannot believe it, the London Jewellery School had a competition running over the weekend where you submitted your designs and they chose their favourite.

I submitted my 18ct gold plated Gaia necklace. These are not only my favourite design but they are also becoming very popular with Beverley Knight taking ownership of hers last month!

Anyway, to get to the point I woke up this morning to a Facebook message saying I had won, not only that I was getting a voucher for one of their courses in London.

I have a long list of courses I want to take part in throughout the year but cannot for the life of me decide which I want to do first!

Competition Time!

As some of you may know Zazu Jewellery is soon to be expanding into the Gift ware market.

We will be introducing cards, postcards, wrapping paper, mugs, stickers, magnets, badges and mirrors initially and then expanding even more in the near future - Exciting eh!

I couldn't have done this with out the financial and morale support of one very generous person. You know who you are so thank you very much.xxxx

Before we get onto the competition we have 8 packs of our initial sample gift tags for sale. They will be £3 including postage for 10 instead of 5! Just get in touch if you are interested.

Right, competition time........

As I mentioned above we are going to be making stickers, and these are some that we have been playing around with. In the shape of daisy's. They will however come in many shapes and sizes and want to make them for various uses so everyone can enjoy them.

Now all you have to do to win some of these fab stickers is to leave us a comment and tell us what kind of things you would use stickers for and if for decoration what shapes and colours. There will be 10 lucky winners.

Good luck.
