Halloween ideas

Well hello!

Today I've been off work, and instead of organising my craft things (like I was meant to), I headed into town for a new railcard and a general wander. I'm due back to Cardiff on monday & need to book my tickets, so exciting!

There's a shop I used to go to for all my jewellery supplies, so I'll be heading there while I'm in the area.

I've been thinking about Halloween this year, and what I'm going to make for it. I really love Halloween in general, I do love a good horror film (even though I cover my eyes through most of them) and it's fun seeing kids get all excited about it.

I'm hoping to get some Halloween-based supplies in Cardiff or through Etsy, just hope I can get things all made and sorted before the end of this month. I like to be organised, sometimes ;)

Tuesday's Trinkets

I've decided to do a 'Tuesday's Trinkets' post every Tuesday (or when I remember, hehe) which will be filled with gorgeous handmade goodies from either Etsy or Folksy.

Here are a few of my favourite handmade things this week, all picked out from Etsy today.

Lady Grace Flower Earrings by Sophine Giam

These are so pretty and the dark bronze findings make them perfect for autumn.

Perfect for the autumn weather, this brass cuff and peach flower really compliment each other.

These lovely items all have an autumnal feel to them, for me anyway. It's such a grey and wet day, autumn/winter are definitely on their way! There's nothing nicer for me than curling up in front of the tv in wintertime, hot chocolate in my hand. Yummy.

In other news, I have a collection of 'sparklebead' bracelets to show off very soon!

Sparkle Rose Earrings

These rose stud earrings are available in many colours. They were the beginning of Sparklerose Designs for me :) hence the name, hehe. My personal fave is the hot pink, it's so pretty.


The newest edition to the collection is the beautiful navy colour. It's so dark it really brings out the sparkle in the Swarovski crystal.

Navy Sparkle Rose Earrings

Adorable ribbon roses set on silver-plated stud posts. The sparkle flows from the vintage Swarovski crystal that sits in the middle of each rose.

These are £2.00 per pair.

At the moment I'm not selling any of my pieces online, I'm planning to make a website very soon though! If you see something you like please feel free to drop me an email at sparklerosedesigns@live.co.uk

Supplies

I headed into town to pick up some supplies, as well as ordering some online. I'm getting most of them delivered to my Dad's house, I'm due to go visit there in a week or so, hurray :D

So far I've picked up:

+ Some antique copper findings
+ Some gorgeously sparkly chinese crystal beads
+ Plenty of pretty glass beads
+ Eiffel tower charms

And a few more things I'll be surprised about when the postman delivers them, lol..

I realise this blog is looking rather boring, unfortunately I don't have any graphic design programs on my laptop.. hmm..

I'm not the best at blogging, but I'll have lots of prettyful pictures to make up for it :D
