some more of what I make and sell ...
something I have a few of is keyrings ... and I make even more ... these are just a few of this years collection ...
like my '
fun jewellery' these keyrings are also available mounted on greetings cards as an all-in-one card and gift.
... you can never have too many flowers!
this week I would like to show you some sparkle ... some of my 'fun' jewellery range ... this jewellery is silver plated rather than sterling silver, but great for everyday fun!
they are all available mounted on greetings cards as an all in one card and gift ... assorted wordings on the cards available or I can personalise it for you.
so I thought over the next few weeks I would show you some of the things I make :)
My business is called
Joy Cards, as Joy is my middle name ... I don't just make cards though, I also make a large amount of jewellery and some gifts. I had a gift shop for a while in Redruth, but keeping up with trade orders and being in the shop 6 days a week was too much. I was sad to say goodbye to the shop as it was a lovely little money-earner :)
This week I thought I would show you a few of my greetings cards ... they are all handmade and come packed with a matching cream envelope. They are blank inside and apart from a couple that specifically say Happy Birthday, they are great for any occasion ...
They are available wholesale too ... feel free to contact me with any questions.
today is my 29th birthday ... today I read a letter I wrote myself when I was 'a lot' younger ... I was meant to read it when I turned 21 but I couldn't face it then ... couldn't really face it now, but I braved it and read the dreams of my younger self ... my dreams haven't really changed much and are still what drives me and fills my heart.
so I thought I would share with you some bits about myself ...
- I grew up in a lovely Christian family with 4 nutty brothers. I had to
wait till one of them married my best friend before I got a sister.
- I am an Auntie to the cutest little niece ... she really is precious.
- I can't wait to have children of my own ... and I want lots!
- I did a bit of traveling when I was young ... went to The States for 3
months, Canada for 6 and travelled around Europe. I would love to do
more and always had a dream of doing some thing big, like walking across
America or Canada - I would even settle for walking across Scotland!
- I live in Cornwall, but have lived in a few places including the Lake District.
- I would love to live in a wood and have an English style Country
Garden', with a rose, kitchen & herb garden as well as a fun place
for kids to play. I have a bit of a dream of doing up an old farmhouse
& growing veg, keeping hens & pygmy goats.
- I have been self employed for 5 years and make jewellery and cards that I sell to shops all over the country.
- Like most girls shopping and chocolate. Shopping with a friend is even
better especially if we stop and have a bite to eat.
- I enjoy walking, either on my own where I can have a good daydream, or with a friend & we can have a good chat.
- I love making things and teach lacemaking to anyone that wants to have a go!
