What makes it all worth it.

Good morning everyone, and what an absolutely glorious morning it is here in Donegal! Achingly blue skies seem even more blue against the odd clouds that drift over and it is hot out there.

Being a jewellery/accessories designer who works from home is not always as glamorous as it sounds. Also as a sole trader who has to wear all the various hats that go with that title, added to all the other hats I have to wear as a mother, wife etc, can make for an often chaotic life when I barely know which way is up!

But sometimes things happen that make all the chaos of working from home- worth it. This morning I got a text message from one of my clients who is getting married today. She said ''Hi Jennifer, I'm wearing the hairvine you made for me. It's so beautiful. Thanks so much-will send on photo in a few weeks.''
That she went to the bother of contacting me on her wedding day- to tell me that, has given me such a boost! When things like that happen, I remember all the reasons I have for following a dream and seeing it through. Makes all the ups and downs of working from home- worth it.

New Hairvines

Sea Blossom Hairvine

Champagne on Ice Hairvine

Hi everyone! Here are 2 photos of 2 new hairvine designs. The Champagne on Ice vine was recently designed for a bride in Co. Cork, and the Sea Blossom one was designed out of inspiration gained from a visit to my local beach awhile ago. For more details about these hairvines please click on the photo gallery. As always if you have any questions about any of my designs please don't hesitate to email me doylejewellerydesigns@gmail.com
