Good day in Merchant Square yesterday and met lots of lovely people. There were some great stalls including Childrens clothing lots of great photography and artwork and some new jewellers too. Was lovely to see so many people. Some family also arrived for the weekend and we all went out for a meal to celebrate my Mother and Father in Laws 50th wedding anniversary. Had a lovely evening but unfortunately I became unwell and have been unwell throughout the night. so it is with great regret that we wont be able to attend Merchant Square today :( Sorry to anyone who was hoping to catch us there but still feeling very unwell today. Will definitely aim to be posting pictures as soon as possible though of new jewellery and just as soon as I'm better, i'll be working on new designs........Hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend :)

Spent most of today creating pretty pieces to add to our collection but also had a little bit of admin to do this morning.

Wow, Thanks to new facebook and Twitter followers that have joined us over the weekend. Some lovely comments made by some of you and that have really made our week ! Had a lovely day today in the Merchant square with more fun and mayhem at the craft market. Was busy today with more stalls than we've seen before and a wonderful chap selling the best tablet that we have ever tasted - Very naughty, but very nice !!! Found time in the day to create some more lovely pieces though and the chirps from these Robins flying around our workshop are so sweet, we've captured a few and turned them into the prettiest little Robin Brooches...........will aim to post some pics for you early part of next week. In the mean time we'll be back at Merchant Square tomorrow and hope to meet a few more of you. Have a lovely weekend all whatever you're doing we hope you have fun...................x

Hello, thought we'd take this opportunity to have a bit of a catch up with our customers & followers as its been a little while since our last blog. We have been busy working on some new designs and today have ordered lots of new materials to enable us to create more pieces over the coming weeks. We'd like to thank all our new followers on facebook and twitter too and are excited to have you on board. We have busy times ahead thankfully with Craft fairs every weekend between now & Christmas and also some Christmas fairs in offices during November so we're busy getting organised for that. With Christmas in mind (sorry if you're groaning!) we will be offering some special promotions throughout October so check back next week when we'll be posting details on our blog. In the mean time we are working on a small personal commission and are still happy to take enquiries for commissions. We have lots to be getting on with today ahead of the Craft market this weekend in Merchant square and hope that if you are in the area you might drop in and see us.......Besides our lovely jewellery there are plenty of beautiful stalls selling an array of wonderful crafts too, something to suit all tastes..............

So we've spent the last few days working to get the website up and running and we are pleased to announce that a selection of our jewellery is available to buy through our online shop. We will also be happy to discuss any bespoke commissions. Lots more work to be done in the coming days and weeks making new ranges that will be added to the site so please keep checking back. Thank you so much for all the encouraging comments and support it is much appreciated and really helps to keep us focused and motivated. Time for a well earned glass of wine now .................

We've spent the last few days in the workshop and have been busy creating some lovely new pieces. What did we come up with ?! A totally gorgeous new range of jewellery inspired by meadows of wild flowers and pretty cottage gardens ! What else ?! Well we've added some beautiful stone settings to compliment the intricate flower shapes. Just beautiful even if we do say so ourselves !!

We hope to be able to post some pictures of the first completed pieces towards the end of the week so keep checking back. Also as a bit of fun we've been working on some name or sentiment tags to be worn along with charms or on their own - to allow the customer to fully customise and personalise their own piece of jewellery...........lovely informal but meaningful and special, just like all of us !! ah xxx

Phew.......Bills paid, supplies ordered, paperwork filed ! Means that for the rest of the week we can concentrate on making more jewellery Hooray !!

Looking forward to that !!!!!

Busy day in the worksop today with some new pieces taking shape. Lots of paperwork to catch up on this week too following a few days away last week. Excited about the craft fair this weekend in Merchant Square and will be busily working on new creations for that and also the etsy shop and website...............................Wonder when we'll sleep !!

We can hardly believe it ourselves but after weeks of trying out different e-commerce templates, we have decided to go with an Etsy site for now and we'll link that to our facebook page and to our own website pages too..................Currently we're updating all our photographs to enable us to add them to our gallery and load them on to Etsy. Its a long process but we're getting there !

We're back after a little break and itching to begin creating some lovely new pieces. Feeling inspired by the beautiful Cornish scenery !

Where to begin will be the biggest problem with so many new idea's. Going to have to research some new techniques too ............................

Well thats nearly the end of a busy working weekend. Had such a great time, meeting lots of interesting people and some lovely stall holders with fascinating tales to tell.......................................Website in the final stages of production and may even go live tonight or tomorrow........Exciting stuff ! Holidays beckon this week with a trip to Cornwall but we'll still have Circa 72 firmly on our minds and will be looking at beautiful Cornwall as a plentiful source of inspiration for new pieces.

Fabulous Day..........Joined by my best friend at the Craft fair which I'm pleased to report was lovely and busy. Took 2 commissions which will keep me busy next week before my holidays.

Tired but happy and looking forward to all the fun and mayhem again tomorrow !

Lovely stickers arrived today with Circa 72 printed on them and a pretty butterfly - Sweet. Its been all go getting ready for the craft fair this weekend in Merchant Square. Lots achieved today but still lots to get on with tomorrow, happy days !..........................

Downing tools early today to meet up with fellow jewellery making friends for a few drinks and a good catch up...................Another productive day though with more butterfly earrings made. Will make sure we post the pics later in the week.

Today we have been mostly oxidising things !!!! Lovely to bring out the textures, gives a lovely aged look to the silver that we love.........Busy getting ready for the craft fair this weekend in Merchant square too. Exciting !

Well thats another Monday gone in a flash !! We were joined today for the last time by the jewellery Elf.........had a lovely day but we're very sad that it was our last day together. More jewellery made today ahead of the craft fair in Merchant Square this weekend. Looking forward to getting back there and meeting more lovely people.

Progress is being made on our website and it should be up and running very soon. We have more jewellery to photograph this week, so keep checking our facebook page for new items.

Another week has passed with lots of exciting goings on for Circa 72. Highlight of the week was definitely receiving our membership to the BJA Org. Business banking all set up and running smoothly thanks to the lovely people at Santander so thats another chore ticked off the "To Do" list !!!! Thanks so much for all your encouraging messages and enquiries this week, it has really given us a boost. Hope you all kick back and have a great weekend................................

Some lovely butterfly creations fluttering about in our workshop today.................so pretty, they'll be photographed and posted to our facebook page tomorrow.

A few people have requested details on "How or Where" they can buy our jewellery. The website is coming soon, but in the mean time if you require details of any prices on any current pieces please email us on circa72jewellery@googlemail.com and we'll be happy to either email you a price list or call you to discuss.............thanks

Another busy day, but this time doing the fun bit !! We were joined by our jewellery making Elf today who helped create some lovely jewellery.......We'll be able to post pictures later in the week when they are all polished and ready for sale.

Was a day spent mainly on earrings today with a pretty butterfly design and also a delicate dragonfly that is going to be oxidised to help show off the texture on its wings ahhhh ................

Progress today with the Edinburgh Assay office who have confirmed our makers stamp is underway and our hallmark size has been chosen ............so good news because in a few weeks we will be able to send items to be hallmarked and stamped with our own makers mark. Currently work is in progress on a pretty butterfly necklace set with turquoise stones hopefully we'll be able to upload a picture of the completed necklace later this week. In the mean time we'll upload some more pictures of our jewellery.

Busy day at Circa 72 today catching up with the paper work and all the less exciting business related tasks. Good news though we have confirmed our place at the Merchant City Craft market for 14th & 15th August, 4th, 5th, 28th & 29th September and every weekend in October, November and December so busy times ahead !

Todays boost arrived with our post this morning in the form of our Certificate of Membership to The British Jewellery Organisation. Fab news and now thats been confirmed, we can forge ahead with our branding and printing of our business stationary.

What an exciting weekend we've had, with the official launch of Circa 72. Met some great people at the Merchant City Craft Market and also some very talented stall holders. We were very tempted to spend our hard earned cash on the array of wonderful products available to buy but managed to resist the temptation.............Well almost !

Received lots of great feedback from customers both those who bought our jewellery and those who were just browsing, It was fantastic to hear such praise with the little "Forget Me Not Robins" taking the most admired prize of the entire weekend. Thanks also to good friends who popped in to see us and offer their support, great to see you. Looking forward to our next weekend at the craft market on 14th and 15th August.
