Hello my lovely Wild Ones – it’s Caroline here!
Wow, what a whirlwind it’s been in the studio lately. I’m currently knee-deep in prepping for my brand-new collection launch this September (just in time for your Christmas shopping – you’re welcome 😉). My workbench is a happy chaos of wax, clay, tools and an unholy amount of coffee, Guinness and chocolate keeping me going. Honestly, I can’t wait to share what I’ve been working on with you all.
Out & About – Makers Markets Magic
Last month I had the absolute joy of setting up at the Lincolnshire Makers Market at Stourton Estates. What a day! Meeting so many new faces (and plenty of familiar smiley ones too) really filled my creative cup. There’s nothing better than chatting jewellery, hearing your stories, and seeing your excitement in person.
Next up: the Heighington Christmas Market on 7th December 🎄. This one is extra special for me – it’s my fourth year attending, and it’s become a bit of a festive tradition. I’m already counting down the days (and maybe planning my mince pie & baileys hot chocolate intake…).
Summer Fun with the Mini Wild Ones
On the home front, the “mini Wild Ones” and I have had the BEST summer. Think camping adventures, epic days out in beautiful Lincoln, museum trips, days at the beach and castle explorations. My heart is full. They’ll be heading back to school soon (how did that happen so quickly?!), which means it’s full steam ahead in the studio for me. Once they’re back, I’ll be polishing, photographing and getting the website all prepped for launch.
What’s Coming in the New Collection
This time around I’ve been experimenting with the ancient technique of wax casting alongside more silver metal clay. The result? Gorgeous, organic textures and designs that are not only unique but also wonderfully eco-friendly. Expect lots of natural forms, soft shapes, and that perfect Wild One mix of rustic charm and shiny loveliness. 🌿✨
Bank Holiday Treats!
Before the shiny newness arrives, I need to make a little room – which is great news for you! This Bank Holiday weekend, you’ll find a whole bunch of my current designs reduced over on the website. So if you’ve had your eye on a piece, now is definitely the time to snap it up.
So that’s life lately in the Wild One world – a busy mix of jewellery, markets, magical family moments, and plenty of coffee-fuelled late nights. Thank you, as always, for supporting my little business and letting me do what I love every single day.
Big hugs (and maybe a slice of pizza),
Caroline
