So at last the weather in the UK has warmed up and everyone is off on holiday. Dezigne has the perfect accessory for sunny days at the beach or sightseeing - this lovely tote bag featuring sailboats, beach huts and lighthouses in a very patriotic red, white and blue. The sand coloured strap is genuine leather. It's just the right size for all your essentials for the day- phone, keys, make-up, books, maps, camera etc.

Talking about beaches etc., one of my favourite places is St.Ives in Cornwall. There are some fabulous apartments there called The Sail Lofts which look amazing -definitely on my list to stay -one day!

 
Lighthouse Apartment

There are apartments for 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 people -and they are all decorated individually. Check out their website for more info.

St Ives itself has two lovely sandy bays, a pretty harbour and plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants. Of course there is the Tate Gallery and many artist workshops, studios and galleries dotted about the town. There are many tiny little streets to wander around with all sorts of hidden gems to discover.

Some great new summer jewellery by Driftwood Beach is now available from Dezigne - perfect additions to your summer wardrobe !


chunky necklace wood jasper leather
                                 Fabulous Wood, Jasper and Leather Necklace  £23.50

wood ceramic stone leather necklace
                       Stunning Wood, Ceramic, Stone and Leather Necklace  £35.00

Most of my jewellery is inspired by the ocean, the beach and the coastline so I love to use pebble shaped beads in natural materials such as wood and semi-precious stone. The wood twist beads I have used in the necklace above reminds me of driftwood -smooth to the touch and ever so slightly faded. The bright aqua ceramic ovals and dyed turquoise chips really contrast well with the wood.
I think the wood and jasper necklace has quite a designer look-I must admit I find it difficult to do asymetrical jewellery  - it's far more difficult than it looks!
One of my favourite Etsy  makers Lorelei Eurto gets it right every time! 


I have recently been asked to make some bridal jewellery for a lady who is getting married in St Ives in Cornwall later this year -which is wonderful as St Ives is one of my favourite places and I am so pleased to have been asked to make this jewellery which will feature some gorgeous freshwater pearls.
