Spring Cleaning

Hi all,

I have been very quiet on the internet this week as I got bitten by the spring cleaning bug and as a result I attacked my studio! So, after a week of evicting spiders, decluttering, reorganising, painting and cleaning, I now have my studio back. And as always, whenever I do a clear out, I can't find anything, but my space is now light, bright and airy and I can move without fear of knocking over towers of paperwork, books or stacks of bead containers so I am one happy woman today :)
I am posting a photo- it isn't brilliant as the light coming in the window was very strong but you'll get an idea of what it looks like at least. As you can see the table is still in a bit of a heap but at least the room itself is done and sorted! I will hopefully be posting photos of some new designs next week as well so pop back if you get a chance.

There is also a list of treasuries that I put together myself of some of my favourite finds on Etsy- some amazing artists and crafters, both from Ireland and abroad so check it out when you get a chance! and as always if you have any questions please email me jen@jendoyledesigns.com

New Designs for March

Hi everyone!
Hope you are all enoying this beautiful Spring day! I have a couple of new designs to share with you- the first is a pretty beaded flower pendent necklace- seen here in shimmering ivory and silver. It was inspired by the gorgeous bell shape of the Fucshia flower and I can make it in any colour so if you like it, but would like other colours, please email me jen@jendoyledesigns.com with your queries.

This second design is a one-of-a-kind hairvine- easily pinned into the hair with normal hairclips (bobby pins). The blossoms are made with mother of pearl petals, and a sparkling firepolished Czech crystal for the heart of each flower. I also added some rose quartz sprays among the blossoms. Rose quartz is known as the 'love stone' and is said to enhance love within marriage and encourage self worth in the individual.

You can buy this hairvine at Jen Doyle Designs Store on Etsy, or you can order it directly from me jen@jendoyledesigns.com It costs €47 with free shipping worldwide.

Jen Doyle Designs on Etsy!

Hi everyone!
What an absolutely gorgeous day we had today. Balmy breezes, warm sunshine and blue, blue skies- I could really feel the summer! Hardly surprising, I barely got a scrap of work done today- how could I resist the lure of such a day after the long winter we had?!

So, I am now selling on Etsy- one of the biggest online marketplaces. I only joined a few weeks ago so I am still figuring it all out. I love all things handmade, and have already found the most amazing bits and pieces on there! I have started populating my store with newly designed ready to wear hair accessories and jewellery, and I also have a bridal section as well, and all of the pieces in that section are made to order. I will be gradually adding more pieces, and will be transferring some of the pieces from the online shop here on my blog over to my Etsy store so keep an eye on it- you might see something you like! At the moment all the prices are in US Dollars, and I offer FREE international shipping on all items!
