CREATIVE FEATURE: THIS ENCHANTED PIXIE ♥

tep 2


Hello how are you lovely?

Can you tell us a bit more about you, where you're from, what you like? 
I’m a thirty something year old mama of three girls. We live in the hills and valleys of North Wales although i grew up in Lincolnshire. I’ve been married to my love for almost ten years. I ‘m a flower child at heart and am never happier then when I'm surrounded by nature. I love to have sand in my toes, flowers in my hair and the smell of salt air around me.

Do you have a favourite jewellery piece you have created?
It’s hard to pick but my current favoutites is these earrings  http://thisenchantedpixie.storenvy.com/products/463564-leah-feather-and-filigree-drop-earrings they’ve been a big hit in my shop and i love my pair!

How long have you been a creative?
I’ve always created, ever since i was a horse-obsessed kiddo making stables and accessories for my little ponies! as a teenager i made jewellery and clothing for myself and friends, and as a mama I've always made things for my girlies.

What/ who inspires you?
my girls are my biggest inspiration. since becoming a mama, being true to myself has been so important – living a life that means i get to be with them all day, every day. showing them that you can follow your dreams and live the life you dream of.

You have a very sweet blog and  tweet lots of loveliness, what inspires you to have an online presence & encourages you to blog about lovely things?

i started blogging at this enchanted pixie back in 2010, mainly as an online journal of sorts. i was going through a bad bout of depression and wanted something to distract me and a place to document our life. it has grown into something so much more and i discovered how much i love blogging. i love the friends that i have made along the way, and hope that others enjoy reading a little about my life!

Do you have any favourite blogs/ websites?
gypsie sister and Lune vintage are two of my current favourites.

Have you got a picture of your workspace? (Drawings accepted!)
here -

How does your workspace help you to be creative?
my workspace, though tiny, is my little haven. i can step inside and feel like I'm in my own little world. I'm surrounded my inspiring images and jars of beads, buttons and ribbons. It feels like a sanctuary full of creative vibes – as soon as i sit at my little desk i can feel the urge to start making.

What's on your most awesome playlist?
Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, The Band, Bob Dylan – i often think i was born in the wrong era!!!

THE EVER SO LOVELY FAYE WEST ♥









Lovely Faye West sent me these delectable goodies through the post the other day. I was so thrilled to find the package waiting for me sealed with vintage disney tape. More disney goodness fell out inside in the form of disney princess stickers! She was kind enough to fill it full of the most gorgeous girly fashion prints & cards, the sweetest mirror so I can coat my eyelashes or press on rosy lipbalm anytime, anywhere! There was also a delicate toofbrush the colour of strawberry milkshake- which I was so happy to get as my wisdom tooth had been giving me trouble. Faye, the sweetheart she is had even thought to include my hair in this package and included the prettiest red flower hair slide which I adore- it's been on long summer walks with me thanks to this Indian summer we're having- in October!

I urge you to grab a bottle of cream soda or something equally as sweet and go and have a look at her gorgeous illustrations (the sugariness heightens the experience of seeing her pastel, pretty handmade loveliness in illustration form) Lovely Faye also has a super pretty etsy shop {Lady Gaga watercolour, a very lovely royal wedding original & pocket mirrors!}, a gorgeous blog, newly done up website and if you aren't already you should definitely be following my favourite red haired lovely on twitter

ROSE LIP BALM, HAND MADE CHARMS & RETRO SWEETS ♥






Oh my goodness, it's been a very busy week and I wanted to share something rather lovely with you all. I received a very sweet parcel from the super lovely Sarah at Temporary:Secretary last week, filled with little treasures I couldn't wait to look at. It was packed with beautiful pieces of jewellery, a cherry hair clip which now sits in my violet hair keeping my locks safely away from my drawings, a very lovely daisy locket, which opens to reveal a tiny secret hide out for love notes or a little picture, a teacup vintage pendant for my fondness of tea, an amazing collection of the cutest stationery, retro sweets and rose tea lip balm were just a few of the goodies she had so kindly wrapped up and sent me! I was completely overwhelmed by it all, it's all been thought out so carefully and Sarah had even included three handmade charms specifically for me and what I do, so lovely!

I absolutely love the jewellery at Temporary:Secretary it's so pretty and super wearable! There's so much choice as well, Alice in Wonderland necklaces and brooches, darling cocktail rings and there's kawaii stationery to send sweet notes. I'm going to be stocking up on lovely pieces for pretty presents! ♥
