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.

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 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.

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.

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.
