Put a little bling in to your life...

It seems that when I have had one or two orders of similar styles it somehow draws people to order more of that style. It is strange how that happens.
Last week I got exactly the same order from 2 different people. Both wanted double 3 wave black bracelets, although they have the same size wrists they did want different sizes.

Right after the double black wraps the next order was another double but in this case a double blue west coast and a woman bought... you guessed it... a black double 4 wave when I was working in the Nord Living shop last saturday.

These bracelets had also been made for Nord Living...

Double blue 3 wave with heart, single 3 waves in red, blue and turquoise, double 4 wave black.

The bling in the West coast order sparked off some more bling orders... how does this happen?

But I don't mind... I just make and enjoy!

Here are the rest of the bling bracelets...

 Blue Polaris with bohemian crystals

 Khaki polaris with sterling silver 4mm pearls

Double vintage brown polaris with alternating swarovski and sterling silver 4mm pearls

Black west coast with sterling silver 2.5mm pearls

Tan double wrap with sterling silver 2.5mm pearls

Now I am going to continue my order of something complete different.... chunky cuffs and thinner bracelets in plain leather for Promenade shop. This is what I love, I get to do so many different things <3

Metisse; a little gem in the middle of beautiful Olinda...

Yesterday I went to see the lovely Lorna in her beautiful boutique, Metisse, in the middle of Olinda. Just by driving up there my stressed shoulders started to drop an inch or two and Hugo fall asleep in the back. Such a beautiful drive through the forests and up the mountain.

Metisse is by no means a large shop but it is arranged so perfect that you can feel the warmth and immediately feel at home. It is filled with many, and I mean many, gorgeous, interesting, special, must-haves.... and the list goes on... things from homewares to heavenly fudge. We couldn't resist the fudge and bought the chocolate & butterscotch. This in a household of 6, went in 1 sec! Should have bought another one to keep for when the kids were asleep. Well, next time the Cappuccino fudge is MINE ha ha.

Anyway, now Metisse also has a collection of my Swede Little Things bracelets that fit in so well in her beautiful shop. Below is a couple of pictures of the bracelets on display and a rough idea on the type, style and colours that can be found there.

One heart bracelet (not in the pictures) went straight away, I become so happy seeing people happy when they buy one of my bracelets that I put all my love into. Feels good :)

Have a lovely weekend....only 1 week to go till school holidays and no stressful mornings or lunch boxes...bliss!

My own new colour scheme stack...finally

As I make things for others I really want to have time to make myself some. Well, these school holidays I finally did! And surprise surprise... it has nothing to do with the colour blue. I have really fallen for the neutral khaki and stone colours, which has really surprised me, and I always loooove red so what is better than these?...

I love having either the words love or faith on my heart bracelets. The blue one I have made myself has the word love on it. I probably will have to make another colour heart bracelet with the word 'believe'...maybe in vintage brown??...

25% off lovely Autumn Colours for 2014...

I love trying new colours and for this autumn here in Australia, light grey (or stone as some may call it) and khaki are the new ones for me.
I have made up a couple in each colour and here matched them with a colour kick for a great effect. The turquoise that I received this time is somewhat brighter in shade and just sooo very lovely that I just had to make something for the autumn combination.
Red and charcoal are two others that I have used as well to give some depth to the combinations, and I have to say that light grey and charcoal is definitely one of my favourites.

with the red...

with the charcoal...

And lastly a collage with the red and charcoal...

I have decided to kick off autumn..although we are already midway... with a 25% off RRP of all light grey and khaki bracelets. This includes bracelets with other colours in them, such as the North star design seen here in light grey / charcoal and khaki / red.

So till the end of May this promotion will run.

Another happy post of new stockists of Swede Little Things...

So here comes the last two (hoping only for now) boutique shops to start stocking Swede Little Things bracelets.
One is again in Tasmania...third one so far... but in beautiful Hobart. It is called In Esse and has picked out a diverse range of bracelets, but bling and stand out bracelets have really been the aim of these.
These are the blue and white story...

Here we have their browns / neutrals...

And lastly, their black story...

That was for In Esse... now there is another boutique shop in Flinder, Victoria called Flinders Shed.
They have opted for the more traditional range with shed antler buttons as their clasps. I love it how each range for each stockists is unique and suits their type of shop and customers.
Here are Flinders Shed's range...

As you can see, they have the traditional 3 wave and 4 wave in very neutral colours (and no black) as well as the Stockholm design in vivid red and navy. The navy has a blue (slighter lighter shade than the navy) through it.
