On a dark dark night...

Some spooky fun to be had tonight...

Creepy Crawly

Little Finch's new word this week is Spider (or spidy to be accurate) so when asked how we should cut our pumpkin, this is what we ended up with (not sure why he only has one eye though!!)

Layer up for Winter

In time for christmas I have produced a collection of stacker rings which look stunning when worn together yet delicate and simple when worn individually.

They are available with any combination of charms, birds, stars, leaves, feathers & horseshoes and are made from solid 9ct Gold with 2 x 18ct Gold plated charms on each ring.

All are made to order to individual sizes and are also available in Sterling Silver.

Check the website for a very special festive offer.

Last Days Of Sun

 We spent a beautiful afternoon playing in the sand dunes at West Wittering with the boys Puddle leaping as the tide went out followed by an early evening BBQ and sunset hide and seek. The perfect end to summer.

Lucy Lockets Little Pocket

My sister has the most amazing eye for detail so on my trip to Manchester I couldn't help snapping my camera at every opportunity. Feast your eyes...

Hazy Days

Im loving my home town right now.
Who's have thought this was september in England.
Breathtaking sunset, fabulous friends and the best pizza and ice cream on Brighton beach.

I cant stop smiling

Visiting my sister in Manchester with my best girls was bliss!

irresistable sparkles, matching hasbeens, and chocolate eclairs.

Still Smiling

Wet and soggy!!

It was Manchester afterall…

Migration

I think these little Blackbirds are in need of some autumn revival.

Fantastic statement pieces that can be worn and loved every day.

I have just  sent some off to to The Shop Floor Project for Christmas. 

Check out their wonderful collections of gifts and products by young British designers.

More Hastings/Hendy magic

Inspiring Hastings

I'm slowly falling in love with this fascinating seaside town.
Unique antiques, junk shops galore with surprises round every corner.
One lazy Sunday, we stumbled across this little gem.
A inspirational homeware store by chef Alastair Hendy (who can sometimes be found hidden at the back of the store serving up delights such as sprats and samphire with parsley and vinegar or spiced fig & nut chocolate). The beautifully renovated building is full to its rickety brim with vintage furniture and simple functional and utilitarian products for the home with hidden corridors and dusty attic rooms that make it more museum than shoplike.

Gone Fishing

The boys have an amazing day out with Grandad John at the Deep.
Here are some of Little Wrens photos of the day!

Stylist to the stars

Heres a small peek into one of the most eclectic wardrobes around. A very talented stylist/blogger and who's (sometimes crazy) outfits never fail to make me smile! Check out Kat's inspiring blog for craft, fashion & fun.

Skimming

The simple things in life really are the best.

Auntie Locket

A pod with 2 peas is happiness indeed!

Little Wrens Holiday Snaps

Some more mystery shots on my camera that I don't remember taking!?

Jewels Away

Order on its way to the new Luna & Curious store in the Sanderson Hotel, London.http://www.lunaandcurious.com

A Few of my Favourite Things

Wrens bedside treasures.....cute!

Crows & Bones

My wares on show at the East London Design Show 2010

Boo

Looking good Bat Boy!!!

Autumn Styles

Have just found this little gem in Beyond Retro.

Its fits perfectly and I think I might be living in it until summer.

Whistling While I Work

Alice Eden jewellery is now available in Whistles…yippeeee

If you happen to find yourselves in Westbourne Grove, St Christophers Place or Brompton Road in London, keep an eye out for it and cross your fingers for me that it all sells out by Christmas!

Beauty In Paris

I’ve just completed a commission for a well known luxury beauty brand in Paris who have chosen my Autumn Fall bracelets to send out as their Christmas press gifts this year.

50 bracelets later and my fingers are glowing pink and my eyes are like peep holes but hopefully magazine editors everywhere should be sporting a bit of Alice Eden over the festive period!

The 500 gold plated leaves (all hand polished!!! ouch) and abundance of gold chain looked so luscious and sparkly, Little Wren wanted to put them all in his treasure box aboard his new pirate ship.

A Poor Show

So after months of neglect and slug invasions, our mini allotment (aka flower bed) managed to produce the total sum of 2 mini courgettes, 2 green tomatoes, 5 blueberrys (3 eaten), 3 green beans, 2 broad beans and a pea pod!!! I know were not going to win any best in shows,  but I'm impressed.

A Very British Summer

I have great memories of riding Cliff the donkey along Cleethorpes beach with my grandma  in the 70's. Today was Little Wren & Grandads time... Magical!

Sleepover

The boys had their best friend Edie Beau to stay for the night and wanted a magical den to sleep in..

Wish I could have fitted in too!

Woodland Creatures

Spotted whilst out walking in the countryside this weekend.

See Through

I love a bit of fancy glass….

For a similar effect check out the lovely Emma Jeffs range of decorative window film for inspiration

Not a happy bunny

Little Wren doesn’t seem very happy with his easter bonnet entry for the nursery parade!

Dogger

Found these lovely shots on my camera the other day..

I think little Wren has taken up a new secret hobby! Shows potential I think?!!

Baby Bird

Meet baby Finch.

Cats & Birds

They're my kind of thing.

Naughty Puss

How's a girl suppose to get any work done round here?
