Felt So Good

Morning,

Wow, it's grim outside today, so if you're in town and want a bit of respite from the wind and rain, pop in!

Choosing the photos from our shoot of the Special Evening dresses tonight so should have them on the website very soon, in time for the party season! There are some gorgeous ones to be had!

Our Pick Of The Day today are these felt and wood bracelets, handmade by Irene Mosedale. Available in a variety of colours, each is unique and very cute, with felt beads that always remind me of Muppets (no Muppets were harmed in the making of this jewellery). We also have necklaces available in the same beads. Perfect for Xmas presents, or brightening up a simple outfit.

Stay warm!

Spring Greens (well, Summer)

Afternoon,

Blogging a bit later today. Been sorting out all the packaging ready for the launch of the online shop. Want to make sure everything gets out to everyone safe and sound!

Pick of the day today is one of our new JP Jewellery pieces. We have quite a few new bits in from Jess, all one-offs, and very pretty. Her new stuff seems to feature green quite heavily so great if you love that colour. This is a new bracelet. It has a double-strand adjustable chain, and a beautiful motif with green sparkley bits! This piece is priced at £10. There is also a matching choker on green velvet ribbon.

Hope you all have a good week.

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! :)
