How to Heidi
The beautiful Jo from Lost in the Haze has created a wonderful video showing how she makes her gorgeous Heidi Braids. She makes it look so simple. If you look closely you may notice she is using my floral hairpins. Her original post about the video is ---> here.
Cherry Blossom Jewellery Range
I've had the cherry blossom range out for a while but finally got around to organising a photoshoot. Again Erica looks absolutely stunning and Luke has done a fantastic job of the photography. I'm really happy with the photos. I love the use of the beautiful real blossoms which are blooming everywhere in Hobart at the moment.
The brooch and necklace is for sale in my Etsy and MadeIt stores and don't forget about the worldwide free shipping offered for the next few days.
There's a few more photos from the shoot on Facebook.

Kiva Loans
Did you know that some of my business profits go towards donating towards Kiva micro loans?
These loans enable people in poverty stricken countries the chance to start up and build on their own small business. It ultimately helps provide their family with funds for basic necessities which we take for granted and it also helps enrichen their whole community. I feel so fortunate to be able to have established a jewellery business which began as a little hobby - it's not really something I need to be doing for financial reasons necessarily but because I enjoy my work. It makes me feel for those who are suffering because they are unable to work because they haven't the means to finance the establishment of a little business which could make a massive change to their circumstances. Anyway, I love the idea of the Kiva loans and love being able to help these people out. I find their stories fascinating and I love reading the updates about their business ventures.
Today I loaned to Hawa from Sierra Leone who sells clothing. Good Luck Hawa!
If you look at my blog's sidebar, there is a neat Kiva badge which shows the loans I have been making.

Pretty Bloggers Wearing "Under the Shade of Bonsai Tree" # 2
This is Elycia - She's cute. She's fun. She has spunk. Check out her blog - it's awesome.
She has incorporated a couple of my brooches in 2 of her outfit posts.
Here she is wearing the "Green Patchwork Doily Brooch". I totally love the combo of colours and I adore the dress.
And here she is rocking the "Tasmanian Myrtle Origami Crane Brooch"
This is Liesl. She is wearing the "Bluebird and Blossoms Brooch". Sweet outfit. The pictures are making me crave for Summer.
I love all the outfit posts which have featured my jewellery. So many individual styles. Everyone has been accessorising the jewellery in their own unique ways - they've given me ideas on how to mix and match a bit. click ---> here for the link to the first picture post.
