Ruby Spirit Designs on the Coriandr Express

If you love vintage inspired jewellery then Ruby Spirit Designs’ Coriandr shop is a great place to find some. It is choc full of jewellery made from charms, beads, buttons and recycled elements. I love the definite vintage feel to her items which all still have a modern twist.  They look really fun to wear whilst still having that touch of elegance.  Tracy who creates all of the lovely items, lives in Yorkshire with her hubby Kev from Dig The Earth and two gorgeous sons.

In her own words she says ‘I have always had a passion for creating jewellery for myself and friends. I love to work with broken or forgotten vintage items, designing something beautiful in the process. It’s just another kind of recycling! Many of my creations are unique and OOAK due to the vintage elements involved.’

Here are my favourite items from her shop:

Overture Earrings in Amethyst

 

Rainbow Bracelet

 

Vintage Button Ring

 

Overture Necklace in Amethyst

I won a blog giveaway!

I participated in Lucy Jackson’s giveaway where I had to leave a comment about the type of handmade journal I would like to see her make next and then I’d have a chance of winning it. I asked for an oriental themed one and I won it! I haven’t entered that many competitions before and this was the first one I have ever won. I’m so chuffed!

I’d previously noticed Lucy’s work on Etsy and Folksy and I’m really pleased to have won one of her journals as they always look really well made with fun designs.

I will be sure to blog about the journal when I receive it and show you some pics.
