The Blue Brick | Inspired Yarns

My last round of I ♥ Autumn jewellery did so well I decided to do one more round before autumn in Toronto is over. I’ve added some new bezels, silver finishes and a new ‘tree of life design’ check it out!

Another round of new, autumn themed jeweller has been added to my Etsy page! These one of a kind pieces are lovingly crafted from real flowers and leaves, preserved in jeweller’s grade resin and encased in antique copper. Each one is unique. This copper necklace contains…

I wanted to share an update to my Etsy shop – resin rings have been added to my Autumn collection! These rings contain real autumn leaves, vintage sequins and occasional embellishments like sprigs of Queen Anne’s lace. They are both in antique copper for now,…

Beautiful autumn in the beautiful Terra Cotta reserve near Toronto. The colours are out of this world. While we were there we collected some leaves for my latest pieces. I can’t wait to show these off but I’m waiting until they’re done to share. These…
