Angel Additions - Beautiful Accessories

Earlier this year we visited a little craft fair in Lyndhurst in the New Forest where we came across a wonderful lady selling a range of beautiful jewellery. Her range, Angel Additions,  specialises in accessories that adorn the mind, body and spirit. They are the only authorised worldwide stockist of crystals charged by Judy Hall. Just has charged some of the crystals that they have available to buy, many of which are from her own private collection. After looking on her website, I particularly love this one:
While at the Craft Fair, I did buy this one, which at the time I claimed was 'for a friend's birthday' but I did end up keeping it! It's one from her range of Tibetan Silver Jewellery:


























Angel Additions products are available to buy from various craft fairs and on their Groovy Cart page

A Catch up with Dorset Newbie, Gina!

Dorset does have a real arts-y feel to it, what with Dorset Arts Festival, and who can forget the never ending beautiful scenery and landscapes that make artists and photographers weak at the knees! So we couldn't blame Gina for heading to Dorset to embrace her inner-art! 
Gina works under the name Zuleikha's Art, named after her daughter, with her work varying from land seascapes and floral displays. 
Since moving to Dorset, Gina is planning to exhibit and sell in local galleries and craft boutiques, which includes a new online craft event 'Craftfest' with whom she will be listing work and selling prints! 
Zuleikha's Art comes in all shapes and sizes including bookmarks, greetings cards, silk painting, quilling, various sized paintings and watercolours, and more interestingly, aceos. "I create aceos which are miniature works of art, measuring 2.5 by 3.5 inches (small I know but really popular for those who do not have the wall space or budget to collect large works of art but still love art none the less.)" she said. 
If you want to find out a bit more about Zuleikha's Art, you can visit her website, or follow her journey via her blog. In the meantime, we'll leave Gina to get arty, as she's itching to get creative on her new surroundings - and can you blame her?!
