I like spotting bright, colourful, bold & pretty things and piecing them together in unique ways. I also have very eclectic tastes, so I've been collecting new and vintage materials and components for many years, knowing that one day they'll find their rightful use. At the end of the day, there's a lovely, unique piece which has its own unique story. At least that's how I think of it. Others have pointed out that this looks a lot like compulsive hoarding, but without the house full of cats.

My "Jumble" necklaces were the starting point for me in combining lots of my beautiful finds into cohesive statement pieces with a strong sense of fun and whimsy. I like the fact that nobody could ever replicate one of these, not even myself!

I love jewellery and accessories that are changeable, that will adapt to fit the mood of the wearer, not to mention the maker. "HoopLa" necklaces are my own design, made from segments of ribbon slotted onto hinged coloured hoops. This makes them really versatile, allows for adjustable sizing, and even lets you mix and match the components.

I love my horror movies, zombies in particular, so there will always be a place for the creepy, kooky and spooky in my store. My zombie cameos and memento mori pieces are so much fun for me to make, as I get to create a whole character and tell their story.

Every hand-made piece in my store is a one-of-a-kind (OOAK) unique item. I don't mass-produce anything, and I don't bulk-buy huge amounts of components. This means nobody else in the world will ever have the piece that you are wearing, and that's what makes it special.

Along with vintage components, I also have been a collector of vintage clothing for many years. I tend to buy these pieces for myself, but alas - they can't all fit me. Those that don't will hopefully find a loving home here, through my shop.
