Unique

Morning,

Saturday has rolled round again. Anyone any exciting plans? Yours truly is heading down to Bungee at The Horseshoe in Wellingborough tonight to watch brilliant Northampton band Seven Caves. Check out their Myspace for more information, but they are awesome. I'll also be doing a bit of DJing with the Bungee DJs as well hopefully, so looking forward to it!

Pick of the day today is these JP Jewellery earrings. As with all JP Jewellery pieces, they are hand made and one offs, so you know you're getting something completely unique. These ones have predominantly leaf and heart charms. They look really stylish. So if you pop in, they're in the counter with the other JP Jewellery pieces. Well worth a look, and it's a local label, too, available exclusively from Unorthodox.

Have sent my lovely assistant Pete out to get lightbulbs. We're switching to energy saving ones for several reasons: 1) We want to be as 'green' as possible. 2) If we can save money on our bills, it helps us keep our prices down. 3) This is a very old building and the lights keep blowing and energy saving bulbs tend to last longer! It takes 24 bulbs for the lights on the main shop floor alone! See, these are the exciting behind-the-scenes moments you just don't get to see in other shops. :)

Bank Holiday Weekend Starts Here!

Morning!

Everyone all excited for the bank holiday weekend? For those in Wellingborough, I can heartily recommend Bungee at The Horseshoe tomorrow night. Karl Phillips & The Midnight Ramblers are playing, supported by Ra Ra Ryan, and DJs (possibly including me, I haven't actually checked yet!) playing indie, britpop, ska, punk, mod etc. There's also a mini-fest down there on Monday as well with live bands so bit of a good weekend planned this end! But of course, we are open today and tomorrow for you to get your bank holiday wardrobe sorted! It's worth noting that Unorthodox is shut on Bank Holiday Monday. Because every now and then I like to venture out into the world!

Despite having a bracelet as the pick of the day yesterday, I couldn't resist choosing this one for today. It's by JP Jewellery, which is a local Wellingborough designer, and came in yesterday. Each piece is handmade and they're all one-offs. The earrings have already flown out the door, but we have this gorgeous bracelet and a couple of necklaces from JP Jewellery's line still in stock (and if you like them, we will make sure we get more!). Very pretty and summery, it has leaf, flower and cross charms on it, and would look lovely glinting in the summer sunshine!

Bit of a hayfever nightmare today, so if you pop in, please forgive the sniffling. I swear it's nothing contagious! :)
