I follow some talented people on various different social media platforms and they have been making some kick ass things recently! I thought I'd compile a little wants list. If money was no option these would be mine!! 

Etsy.

Yesterday I spent a couple of hours updating etsy - www.etrespicefinem.etsy.com
I've added some new pieces - next week I'll be shooting some photos of these guys being worn. I've also lowered the price of some older items that I only have one or two of. You can use the totally seasonal code SPRINGTIME to get 10% off everything!

Wonderhill Market

The lovely wife and I shared a table at Wonderhill Market last Saturday. It was a little quieter than we would've expected on the last weekend before Christmas but we had some amazing mulled apple from Borough market and met some lovely people. 


I also made a few pairs of earrings that will be making their way onto etsy sometime this week. 

GIVEAWAY

Yes my lovelies. It is giveaway time again. I'm being indecisive so rather than pick a giveaway item I've decided that if you win you can pick whichever item you like best from my etsy store - etrespicefinem.etsy.com !!

All you have to do to enter is follow my blog via Google Connect/Bloglovin' or whichever RSS reader you use and leave me a comment letting me know you've done it.

For extra entries you can 'like' my stores facebook page or follow me on twitter. If you do either of these please leave an extra comment for each one!

The giveaway is open to all countries and will close at 10pm next Tuesday - the 15th.

Here's a little example of what you could choose....

If you can't wait to see if you win I'm still offering a 15% discount with the code FALLOUT.

Good luck!!

Final call.

Seeing the wifes blog post today made me realise that I should do something similar! Recently I seem to either be really busy or really ill and time is just flying by! 


While walking around the city centre yesterday I suddenly realised that I need to start thinking about Christmas shopping soon! I bought a little something for someone yesterday. I'm in Berlin this weekend so I'm hoping I can pick up some nice things over there. 


So... last shipping dates! 


Domestic / UK - December 20th.
Europe -December 12th
Rest of the World  -December 5th


You need to place orders by these dates to guarantee delivery in time for Christmas.  
I can always arrange a courier service though if need be. Just get in touch! Everything comes giftwrapped too so if you'd like to purchase an item and have me mail it to someone else, again just ask my lovelies! 


So if you pop over to etrespicefinem.etsy.com you can see what I have on offer! New items will be going up over the next couple of weeks. The code 'FALLOUT' will still get you 15% off an item too.


Check back tomorrow for a giveaway! 

Nuclear winter - 15% off!

FINALLY etsy have added a feature so you can change the name of your store!
So welcome to et respice finem. Which is Latin for 'and look to the end.' I thought the name fit quite nicely with the name of this blog, and my more 'morbid' bone pieces.


I've added a lot of my new winter range to the store - nuclear winter was the concept - and I have to say I'm so please with these pieces. Definitely some of my favourite I've created so far. I can't wait to get some more bone pieces up soon! And I've created bracelets for the first time!


These are a few of my favourite things I have up so far...

I'm so stoked to finally get this line live I'm offering a 15% discount on everything if you enter FALLOUT at checkout! 


In other news, pop over to the wifes blog and take a look at some photos she took in my flat, some photos she took of my cat, and some photos she took in my favourite junky warehouse 'Swiss Cottage'. She has some mad photo skills. 

Winter Lookbook.

Here's a sneak peek at my winter lookbook at the wife helped me shoot this weekend! 

I'll be updating etsy throughout the week with the new items, posting the rest of the lookbook photos AND there will be a giveaway and discount code when everything is up! Stay tuned guys!

Crafting!

Blogging has taken a bit of a back seat while I focus on getting my new range of jewellery ready to shoot next weekend! I can't wait to get everything up on etsy. Here are a few more sneak peeks at what I've been working on...

New business cards!

This necklace was an experiment but I'm digging it. 

Bracelet! There is also a matching necklace. 

I love this cracked green agate. The colours are amazing. 

Post.

I received this amazing t shirt in the post today. I love everything about it. The fit is perfect and the fabric is so soft.

You can buy one of your very own here... http://www.etsy.com/shop/kinshippress 

Etsy sale....

I'm having an epic sale over on etsy. All the jewellery is reduced to £5! I'm trying to have a massive clear out before launching my winter range so if you fancy treating yourself I think now is the time!

Labradorite.

I have a new necklace for sale over in the store.


I've been waiting for these supplies for a while so I was pleased to be able to take a bit of time this morning to sit down and put these necklaces together. 
The stones are large faceted chunks of labradorite - it's a Feldspar mineral which means it crystallised from magma! Each chunk is a beautiful stormy grey colour and when the light catches it there's a lovely blue and golden iridescent sheen. 

Skulls.

I love getting new craft supplies! I'd been waiting for these handcarved turquoise beads to show up for a while. They finally arrived last friday so knocked up some necklaces. I thought the raw brass stick charm thingy finished it off nicely! They are on etsy if you would like one of your very own!

Etsy.

Yesterday was a good post day! I got some supplies that I'd been waiting for.

Carnelian

Amethyst

I turned the carnelian stones into necklaces last night and got them up in the etsy store.   



Finished necklaces!


I think with the amethyst I'm to string a few together horizontally. I would've liked to have hung them vertically but they're not centre drilled! Hmmm. I need to play around with them a bit more.

Today has been another good post day. I've recieved pyrite, pearls and turquoise. I can't wait to make these guys into necklaces. But alas the dress I'm waiting for from ASOS has not arrived.

After work I'm getting the train down to London to see Hazel and Dianne. It should make a nice change from getting the coach! I've got a provisional plan involving the coach to the Netherlands in a month or so. I figure it's a good way of seeing some different scenery. Also I'm sick of flying. Leeds Bradford Airport is horrible.  
The other day I decided to subscribe to Lonely Planet Magazine. They've got a sweet offer on at the moment where you get 5 issues for £5. I won't recieve my first issue to next month but I've heard really good things about it. I'll be sure to post a review! I get the feeling that when I read it I'm just going to want to pack up and go exploring.
