So I have decided to start a new feature called Wish List
Wednesday, I know it’s not the most inventive name but stick with me. The plan
is to share some of the lovely things I have come across in local shops and
galleries as well as Instagram and websites like Etsy and Folksy and promoting
the work of independent makers and artists.
My first item for the wish list is the beautifully crafted Porcelain Oyster Shell Necklace by
Little Birdy, you can find it in her Folksy
shop. She has a lot of beautiful products in the shop, prints and
illustrations, textiles, hand painted ceramics and hand sculpted porcelain. The
Mermaids & Ice Cream jewellery collection launched on Monday, 17th
August, and it’s based around her fascination with ‘life beneath the waves and
with natural science’. It’s a stunning range of oyster shell necklaces with pearls
and adorable ice cream necklaces and brooches.
I’m totally in love with the Porcelain Oyster Shell Necklace
which is two hand sculpted and pained oyster shells that open up to reveal a
gold pearl hidden in between them. Painted in gold, blush pink and white it has
beautiful polkadot detailing on it. Dreamy!
I have been swooning over the Bristol based artists work on Instagram for a while now, the ceramic narwhals,
cats and pushme-pullyous are next on my list and have often been pointed out to
my bearded companion with a wink and elbow nudge but to no avail… yet…
You can check out Little Birdy’s stockists in Bristol and
London on her website or have a look
around the Folksy shop. I hope you
fall in love with her lovely wares as much as I have.
