Slava Ukraini! On recent events and rage-designing
The Ukraine brooch is here, and this one I can safely say is by popular demand! I haven't had so many of you contact me at once wanting a design since Lady Hale's spider brooch.
The clearly planned ambush of Zelensky in the White House was horrifying. I forced myself to watch it all, and felt physically sick by the end of it but with even more respect for Zelenksy, which I didn't think was possible. What self control, what grace, when the temptation to slap them both must have been strong. In just a few weeks the entire world order has been upended. We now have the President of the United States spouting Putin propaganda and trying to rewrite history.

Thoughts on election day (lots of swearing)
I got to vote in two countries this year, and the stakes couldn't have felt higher each time. Someone on Twitter said that today feels like Christmas Eve - in hell. And I couldn't agree more. The time difference has never felt so cruel. I don't want to stay up all night, but I still have PTSD from waking up in 2016 at 3am to see the news. I wish I could somehow switch off from it all, I know it would help my mental health, but I too much is resting on this election. And though I feel exhausted I still have fucks to give.
Here are just a few: (Rant incoming and if you don't like swearing stop reading.)
The W.I.T.C.H. Movement
Owning the CRONE!
It’s hard to keep telling yourself that you are ‘aging beautifully’ or rightfully, or that there is any value at all in aging, when as a culture, we really don’t put much value on wisdom or lived experience.

On letting go
Before my senior year of university, I spent a summer back home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, flipping burgers in a kitchen by day and waitressing at Applebees (think TJI Fridays) by night. One evening towards the end of the summer I went over to introduce myself to a couple who just been sat in my section.

On Keeping Going
I hate selling.
There I’ve said it. I spend a lot of time wondering how I got into the business of selling when it’s not something I’ve ever been good at. I had a summer job in London when I was 19 – cold-calling offices to sell them double-sided typewriter ribbons (yes I’m that old). I think I lasted three days.
It’s a hard time for selling right now. A lot of us aren’t quite sure how we are going to pay our bills this winter. I usually trust my gut to read the room when I’m coming up with new designs or trying to do a bit of ‘marketing’ (another term that gives me the cold shakes), but I haven’t bought myself anything very treaty or nice in ages. So it’s not easy trying to figure out what to say. I don’t want to use payment plans like Klarna because I don’t want you to buy my designs unless you can afford them and they will brighten up your life, or if you’re buying a gift - a friend’s life in some way.
Let customers speak for us
The perfect present for my best friend who is an English teacher, and definitely no angel!
Sarah's stuff is always unique, beautiful, a talking point, and quality. I've got something from nearly every collection, but I always want more!
This necklace was absolutely perfect. Thank you x
These earrings are amazing. So lightweight, colourful show up in long hair also! Empowering. Sarah is so talented I will definitely be recommending this site highly and purchasing more items thank you so much!
Every woman I meet loves these. They cause great reactions and conversations wherever I wear them. They’re also comfortable and light. Cannot recommend highly enough.
PS: my husband hates them. I. Don’t. Care.
Possibly my favourite piece of jewellery. I’ve had my eye on it for a long time but in times of needing a boost we all should have a good impulse purchase. And I’m so glad I bought this bracelet. I wear it all the time. And for me it’s so lovely waking up in the night when my brain is being over active and seeing the words “this too shall pass” glowing away at me through the dark.
Absolutely delighted with my cheeky necklace. Looks even better on! Thank you so much and thank you for the amazing customer service.
Stunning earrings. Just what I was looking for. Fabulously made.
Gorgeous earrings. Stunning colours. Just delighted
I wanted to say this is the sh#+ but didn't want someone to misread the title.
I got this to go with my pink drop earrings and it's just fabulous!
I love the different length fastening options so I can wear it with a whole range of neck lines too!
Lovely purple colour. The star is nice and big and the earrings are so comfortable to wear.
This is a lovely necklace, goes with so many outfits! The quote is lovely and very motivating for difficult days.
Brilliant service - I didn't realise this was available until I stumbled on it and was so very happy that I did. A great idea for extending the life of things that are worn or damaged: don't throw them away, get them fixed! Sadly my own bracelet was too far gone, but Sarah went above and beyond by replacing it. Thank you so much.
Match my necklace perfectly . Gorgeous. Love them.
Wore this thinking no one would understand ut. Got on a train full of French speakers!!! It's raised a lot of giggles.😜
Absolutely love this piece. It sums my menopausal self up to perfection 😆
