New photos!

Last week I packed up lots of necklaces, rings and bracelets, grabbed my trusty camera and my model Áine, and we made the most of a gorgeously summery day by heading over to the park for a photoshoot!
I think it's great to have model shots of the jewellery, as you can get a better idea of the size of a piece and how it might to look on you, or see how much fun it is to wear buttony jewellery!

We had such a fun and sunny afternoon :)
Here are a few snaps of Áine wearing some cute pieces from Magpie and Button's Etsy shop...

Etsy front page treasury

Featured on the front page of Etsy :) I found this screenshot at

Front Page Feature!

I checked my Etsy page this morning as usual and noticed I have far more hearts than I had yesterday! So I visited craftopolis.com to see if maybe one of my items had been featured in a treasury. I was so surprised to see that TWO items were in treasuries - this Honey Button Ring and also a little button bracelet of mine called Cloudy Skies. So, I thought YAY!

Then I realised the treasury that the ring had been featured in had been selected to go on Etsy's FRONT PAGE this morning! Woohoo! It's all very exciting. Thanks to DigitalPerfection for featuring my ring in her pretty pretty treasury, "Kiss Me Honey Honey".

New camera

I'm loving my new camera - taking tons of pictures of new jewellery coming soon to my etsy shop :)

It's a Fuji Finepix Z30, and the macro setting is brilliant! I spent ages in the shop choosing the right camera for the job of photographing my jewellery. Look how close I could get to these earrings without blurring or losing detail! >

I'm pretty impressed as my old camera would never have been able to handle this.
