FunkyJunk November Newsletter

Hi FJJ Fans!

Welcome to the November update...

FunkyJunk Christmas Gift Guide is now online to give you a headstart on your seasonal shopping...  FREE UK P&P as ever, and flat rate overseas postage.  Get ahead now and beat the Christmas post!!  Here's a wee selection of goodies from the Gift Guide:

As you know, FunkyJunk likes to experiment with lots of different mediums (media?!).  For the Christmas selection this year, for example, we've gone a bit pearly and classic.  Most autumn-into-winter trends this year are rocking the pearls so  I hope you'll be able to find something to suit all tastes.  As ever, do email with any bespoke requests.  It's a surprisingly inexpensive way to get a created-to-your-requirements piece!

I've also been looking more at bead stringing and have created the beads and bows range above to suit most wardrobes!  Some new charms and other exciting new stock pieces have just arrived here too, so you'll be the first to hear about those new creations!  The sky's the limit!!  :)

Love and charms,

Hallowe'en v Pink Santa!

Hi FJJ fans!

It's been a busy old time here at FJJ but I wanted to take ten minutes to breathe and do a blog!  Well, now that Hallowe'en's out of the way, everyone's gone Christmas mad!  I have it on good authority that the first Christmas tree of the year has already been spotted!  And now I must admit that I too have started to decorate - albeit only my Pink Santa here!  My lovely folks were over recently and Mum just HAD to bring me Mr Santa as she'd never seen a pink one!  I have to say, neither have I!  He's too cute to go in the drawer for a month so I've kept him up on the mantlepiece!

Mum also brough me some spoooooky Hallowe'en candles and I've been enjoying them the last few nights  There are three little spookers left now...!

I've been working hard on a Christmas Gift Guide for the site too, with loads of pieces made especially for this time of year.  You'll notice more classic pieces using charms and pearls and we hope you find something for every lucky lady on your list...! Don't forget there's FREE UK P&P as ever... Just call us your Chrimbo Fairy! :)

Love and charms,

Lindsay (Little Miss FJJ! x)

Pearly Queens...

Well, FJJ fans, it's been a busy week so far in the workshop!  I have been reading a lot recently that pearls are autum/winter's biggest trend, along with statement pieces of jewellery.  With that in mind, I set about designing a bit of a capsule collection to go on the site.What do you think?

Love and charms,

Anyone for Tea?

Hey FJJ fans,


Anyone for tea?  I'll have a cup if you're putting the kettle on!  Earlier this year, FJJ became obsessed with all things tea-related.  (See most previous posts!)  This grew into the Rose Tea collection and has now sprouted even further (sprout, leaves, tea-leaves... anyone?!) to become 'Anyone for Tea'.

To make it even easier for our customers, we've put all tea-related jewellery into this new category.  Since the tea products have definitely been one of the most popular on the site, we though we'd put them in one easy-to-find place!  Here's a sneaky peek at what's new...

Jaffa, Dolly Bird and Buttons?

Hi FJJ fans!

Hope the weekend is treating you all well. I've been taking loads and loads of photos recently as I always try to think of things to blog about.  If it crosses my mind something might be interesting then I snap away.  What it means, however, is I have lots of random photos to share! 

Here is a collage I made of my new nail polishes my lovely friend gave me for my birthday recently.  They're from Butter, London via a local boutique and I think I'm in love with them! 

She knew I had a gorgeous Nails Inc coral colour polish so remembered that theme and went either way, as she put it herself!  The result is two gorgeous polishes - one in Jaffa and one in Dollybird!  Jaffa is (obviously) the orange one but it looks almost translucent on as you can see from the photo below. Dolly bird is much more daring and dries in a matt style.  My friend truly captured the torment of my soul - cool classic versus WAH bright!

 

One of my other friends completely spoiled me for my birthday!  She got me lots of beautiful goodies (including Singstar Motown.  Oh. My. WORD!!) and even hand-picked these beautiful buttons for me as she knows my obsession!  I'm not struggling over whether to make something for myself or for the site, but I think I already know the answer to that!! Isn't the wrapping gorgeous? 

Anyway, this is me promising to blog more often.  My heart's in the right place since I take all the photos but I will be better in future.  I will maybe even write lines on my new chalkboard from Notorious Kitsch (part of my prize)!!

Love and charms,

Brand new products just listed... and the travelling jewellery bus!!

Hi peeps!

Just finished listing a few new products so thought I would share with you.

Hummingbird Heart necklaces available in three distinctly different styles.  Remember, there's only ever one of each product from FunkyJunk so if you heart it, have it!  They're £8.50 each with FREE UK P&P and flat rate US/Canada/Europe.

Derby Riot necklaces join the site as part of the Roller Derby Rocks collection.  The bottom left image shows the gold-tone vintage-style toggle clasp each necklace in this capsule collection closes with.  They come in at £6.00 each - bargainous!


And I've just popped onto Twitter and found out that an idea some fellow jewellery-makers and I were having last night has now turned into a full-scale road trip in a pink double-decker bus!  This link to Dollipops blog says it all better than I can.  Please note the trip may or may not be fictional!!  It's just our ideal solution to the Royal Mail crisis.  *shudder*

Anyway, must dash as I'm off to the pics to meet a friend shortly.  Yays! :)

Love and charms,

Roller Derby Rocks!

Hi FJJ Fans

I feel I've been deserting my blog a bit of late so have been thinking up lots of exciting things to tell you...  Roller Derby ROCKS!  Yes, you say, obviously it does!  Avid readers will know of my love for all things roller-related - from disco to Derby and all the music in between!  To celebrate that love, there is a brand new section on the website - Roller Derby Rocks!

In it you will find this brand new collection of eight pairs of roller-inspired earrings.  Featuring skates, anchors and old-skool boom-boxes, you'll be the wackest on the track!

This cute vintage-look anchor ring is perfect for channeling that dirty old sailor spirit Derby so inspires!  Rockabilly doesn't even cover it, love!!

The necklace below is a glittered and glossed handmade clay disc with roller-boot charm... and its name is Let's Go DISCO!  Roller doesn't have to be all bruises and mohawks - it can be a bit That 70s Show too!*  *FYI, my fave show on tv,  Ever. 

I'd love any feedback about any aspect of the site - it's always lovely to hear from people!

More products to list over the weekend so remember to bookmark the link and check back often as there are always new exciting bits being added.

Love and charms,

Lindsay (Little Miss FJJ!) x

Bling and Buy

Hi FJJ fans!!

Just wanted to quickly tell you about a fab new blog called Bling and Buy!  It's run by the fabulous Emma, who has become somewhat of a jewellery review expert.  She has great taste in all things accessory-related and I say that not only because Emma has already featured one of our rings, Tattoo Love Ring!  You should follow her blog to keep up to date with all the jewellery goings on from fellow designers/creators such as PennyDog Designs, Josephine, Laura's Jewellery, She Draws, Temporary Secretary and many more to come.  I can't wait to see what's coming up next!



As a quick follow up, I thought you'd be interested to know that the Tattoo Love Ring has now gone to a very good home.  A friend of mine recently got engaged and whilst her ring is being made (by a fab Edinburgh designer who works with precious stones and metals in a quirky style) she wanted a 'temporary' one to show to everyone who was asking 'where's the ring, where's the ring?!'  I was proud that my friend chose a ring I made to hold her off until she gets her real one.  I appreciate the irony too but she thinks it's cute as anything and can't wait to show it off!  So there you go - jewellery-designer to the wedding market now too!  Haha!

Loads of love and charms,

Lindsay (Little Miss FJJ x)

Notorious Kitsch!!

My name's Little Miss FunkyJunk and it's been too long since my last blog. Phew, confession out of the way!! I've been a busy bee and haven't had time to sit down and update this, so do accept my apologies. :) In the style of Gaz from Two Pints... 'Sowwy!!'

One thing I have been meaning to blog about is the WONDERFUL Notorious Kitsch who I was lucky enough to win a £50 voucher from recently. I know everyone says this but I genuinely hardly ever win anything, let alone something with Kitsch in the title! Any friends I have told bout my win have agreed this is the perfect prize for me!! Notorious have amazing goodies for home, office and gifts and the amazing Fiona, who owns and runs the site, has great taste in picking her stock!

Cue me spending a good couple of hours on the website choosing what I could get for my HUGE prize voucher... I was certain I wanted one of their shower curtains but which one? There were pirate ones which I really liked but I thought the black of them might make our small bathroom look smaller (one reason to move to a house with a bigger bathroom!!). I decided in the end to go for: HULA GIRL!! Not only is she fab but she matches the bathroom really well since I have minty/turquoisey stampings on the wall anyway. The top picture shows her back to front as it's an arty attempt through the mirrorred tile opposite it. The one underneath shows it in the normal way round...


I also chose a few other bits and bobs and two of them were this fabby retro-looking purse and excellent notepad. There's something amazing about the feel and smell of a new notepad and it gives me a great feeling of responsibility to use it well!! So far, it has a list of things I had to do last Thursday but it's in my neatest writing - honestly!! :)



So, thanks so much again to Fiona of www.NotoriousKitsch.co.uk As a fellow host of giveaways, it was amazing to win one and from such a fantastic site!! We heart Kitsch!!
