A big thanks to everyone who has supported my little business this year. It has been lovely to meet so many of you at the markets I have done. Yesterday in the Barossa Valley was just beautiful (ok, maybe a tad windy)! I have one more market before Christmas and that is Posh Markets at Harts Mill in Port Adelaide. Friday from 5-9, and Saturday/Sunday from 10-4. I will tell you more about that in a post this week. The photographs are of the broken bottles I use to make recycled glass beads. This is something I have been making for 10 years now, and I love it more every year. Happy Sunday!

Pink, green and brown recycled glass beads feature in this long necklace that can be worn long or doubled over like this. Beads are made from wine and gin bottles.

Making more long recycled glass necklaces for the Adornment Market in Tanunda on Saturday from 3-7pm.

Loved this idea for a gift! A small bottle of Hendricks Gin and a pair of earrings made from a Hendricks Gin bottle! What a great idea.

So grateful to everyone who helped organise the @etsyadelaide Etsy Made Local market on Saturday. The day was incredible and it was lovely to see so many of my lovely regular customers there. Thank you for still liking my work enough to buy it again! I love making glass beads and jewellery, but there are only so many earrings this girl can wear! Thank you for supporting me and my little creative business that I am still incredibly passionate about even after all these years! My next market is the Adornment Market in Tanunda on Saturday from 3-7pm. Maybe I will see some of you there? Lovely drive and always lots of lovely things to do in the Barossa Valley!

Super sparkly earrings! The glass is from a Skyy Vodka bottle and is absolutely stunning with the silver foil. Perfect for Christmas parties, Christmas drinks, and Christmas Day!

Today’s job! Turning all of this into shiny and sparkly new recycled glass earrings for Etsy Made Local on Saturday! Hope to see you there. My stall will be one of the last stalls you will see if you come from Unley Road! Or one of the first if you are coming along the other way. Hope to see you there.

Special customer request. I love hearing about your ideas for the jewellery you would like to wear. I am happy to give it a shot. This particular customer requested long earrings made with these tear drop shaped beads. I like it! Bombay Sapphire Gin beads.

Found some gorgeous pearls on the weekend! As you can see they are a bit bigger than the previous pearls. The pearl and recycled glass earrings have been very popular, and I think will be a very classic addition to your earring collection! Love pearls.

These earrings are not for everyone! And that’s OK with me.
