Fist full of charms

I've been thinking lately about what it would be like to be your own boss. I work in retail at the moment and while most of the time I like my job, there are some occassions where people just treat you like s**t and because they are more senior than you there is pretty much nothing you can do about it. Im pretty quiet by nature and not one of those people who are very good at standing up for myself so I think someimes people tend to view me as someone who they can walk all over. I'm not saying that all managers in retail are like this, but its definatley been my experience so far.  I just thought last night, wouldn't it be great to be your own boss? No more not knowing where you stand with people, no more people constricting how many hours a week you can work and no more people treating you like they think your nothing.

It would be hard work I don't doubt but something that

I'm starting to think would be definatley worth it...

I made this cuff bracelet over the weekend, and I think its probably one of my favourite things I've made so far. I just love the colours and its goes with a lot of clothes I have in my wardrobe so I don't have to think about matching it to an outfit (although I have to admit I do love playing around with my jewellery in the mornings and trying it all on :)

This is a charm bracelet that I made last week. I like making these its a bit like being a child in a sweet store and choosing all your favourire charms and gems to go on a bracelet

I brought these little uni cycle charms last month. I thought they were so cute, and I couldn't resist getting them, although I wasn't sure what jewellery I would make with them, as most of the bracelets and necklaces I make I use silver jewellery. I think they are so sweet though. If I can get gold earring backs I might make earrings with them to.

lilac and pink rope bracelets

I will be putting the bracelets in my shop so feel free to check it out if you like ;)

love and kisses

The Porcelain Doll

                    

So this is the post to announce the opening of my new little online shop The Porcelain Doll.

I never would have believed it if someone had told me last year 'you finally have an idea of what you want to do when you grow up this year!' never mind the fact that I would actually open my own online shop :)

That's one of the great things about blogging though is that it lets you see how far you have come.

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments on the last post and every single lovely and encouraging comment you have left for me in the last year since I started posting about my jewellery :)

If you are interested in having a look at the shop you can visit it

Or visit my new blog for it

(I'm not abandoning this blog, this is just a blog specifically for the shop and other jewellery type ramblings)

love and kisses
