Moving some shapes

I have some new necklaces up in the shop this week in the form of these bold brass shapes. And don't forget I'm still giving away a mystery free gift with every purchase!

Renegade craft fair comes to town!

The Renegade craft fair will be in London for the first time next month on 8th and 9th October. It will be a huge crafty event with heaps of stalls including my good friends Custom Made and Uncommonly Beautiful. Don't miss this one, it will be A-mazing!

Free gift!

As a little thank you to all my lovely customers I'm giving away a free gift with every purchase while stocks last. It will be chosen at random and could be anything from a pair of earrings to a vintage brooch. Anyone who makes a purchase from ilikebirds.bigcartel.com will automatically be sent something special!

Lately

I've just finished a 5 month contract at M&S (putting together the Xmas Gift Guide) and with a week until my next contract starts I have been able to enjoy some lie ins and generally taking it easy! As well as an update in the shop I am on the look out for some new jewellery ideas, so expect a few newbies over the coming weeks. I have had Christmas on the brain since April what with my job so I'm well and truly in the zone!

Bonbi Forest lockets

I am loving these new illustrated lockets from Bonbi Forest! Each one is so beautiful and so much work has gone into them. What a clever lady she is, now you can wear a little piece of artwork around your neck!

New earrings for Summer!

Over the weekend I uploaded a load of new (very pretty) earrings. I am so in to these fruity pairs...

Happy Banana Earrings

Happy Pineapple Earrings

And then some new florals...

Gold Floral Earrings

Floral Multi Earrings

Some birds (of course!)

Flying Birds Earrings

And some lovely vintage domed studs with a gold topping...

Domed Floral Earrings

All these are available at www.ilikebirds.bigcartel.com

New necklaces in the shop

New in the shop today are a few necklaces. I have some lovely etched Envelope necklaces as well as some dainty little Teacup necklaces in two colour ways.

I have more new bits on the way including some vintage floral earrings in greens and golds, looking forward to getting those up!

And you may have noticed I am back on the blog all of a sudden with two posts in one day. Well I'm back in London for good now, with the contract up on my job in Southampton. I am very happy to be home all week long instead of just the weekends, and it means I can spend more time on I like birds - yay!

I also have some very overdue embroideries to finish up and will get them on the blog as soon as they're finished.

Quest complete!

I have found my lovely new cabinet and it is exactly what I have been searching for - hooray! And my little creatures are all very happy on top of their new home. So its out with the old and in with the new, I'm selling an Ikea locker on ebay for anyone in need of a metal sideboard. I would quite like to keep it but alas I only have limited space.

Have a look here.

Quest for a cabinet

I need a cabinet for my living room, something that can fit in some craft supplies, packaging for the i like birds deliveries and to hide all the junk that seems to accumulate on a weekly basis!

Here are some I have my eye on...

cubic filing storage

1930s oak cupboard

60s teak record cabinet

1950s metal cabinet

kitchen cabinet/larder

Bright eyes

Let me welcome a new critter to the i like birds web shop...

This is Bright eyes and with his twinkly black eyes he will jazz up any outfit. Click here to buy. There's also a sale on still so grab yourself a bargain while you're at it.

Is it just me or was he in Donnie Darko?
