Hot off the cutter

The Purple Finch is happy to give all you great people out there a sneak peek at a new design that will be part of a cool range to hit the shops soon,

The Zeppelin is a very exclusive design will only have one stockist in Tasmania. I am proud to say that Year Zero in Launceston will be the super lucky store that will have this cool design.

My Husband has officially stolen my badge and is totally hooked on it, so will have to make myself another one. We had had so many comments about the badge so I am so excited to get working on creating some new designs soon.

The badges are made out of Tasmanian Oak

So head into Year Zero and check them out. 83 St John St, Launceston, just across the road from Myer.

The Purple Finch Photo Shoot

Last weekend The Purple Finch products were modelled by the lovely Megan. On Saturday morning I was a bit unsure if the shoot would go ahead it was a bit of a miserable day, but luckily the weather held up and I was able to snap some lovely shoots

Here is a little view of the shoot hope that you like it

Would love to have your comments, what do you think about the shoot?

The Purple FInch - now Stocked at Content.

Today I was able to drop off a stack of earrings from the bubble gum range into Content at 63a Brisbane Street Launceston . These are cute earrings that come in a range of bright and deep colours that can be worn with any outfit. What better way to compliment an outfit than with a pair of eye-catching earrings?

Also, a massive thankyou to Min from Content for taking on these products. :)

A combo of my two loves - Kitties & Tea

Anyone who knows me well knows that I just love cats I think I get that from my Nan she is a massive cat lover as well. My cats are spoilt rotten and one is very naughty wonder why think it was because he was the first pet in the house and just had loads of attention. If I had it my way I would already have a few more exotic kitties running around in my house “would just love to have a Scottish fold kitty or maybe another chinchilla they are my favourite bread, but I am not aloud “sad face”.

Plus there is my other love in life apart from my husband which is so tea, I am also a coffee lover as well but I am very fussy to how my coffee is made so I just opt for tea most of the times that I am out. This brings me to a cool little find this cute kitty cup and saucer I think one of these would be fitting for the office when I have a hot drink break.

New Home for The Purple Finch

The purple finch is now stocked at Hope and Me 27 Quadrant Mall Launceston TAS 7250, thanks so much Lindi for taking on board the cute plush toys.

Inspired to design

I have had this ring for a long time my dad has a stone cutting hobby and has cut many gemstones, this one he made for my mum when they first got together.

My mum gave me this ring a while back and its one of many beautiful fine jewellery pieces that I have in my collection. I don’t really ware many of my other rings because they don’t really go with my beautify wedding bands which is very Victorian inspired.

I have a massive love of Victorian jewellery and fashion, just recently I decided to get an idea that I had in my head and transform it into some lovely pieces

Here is a little sneak peek at a few pieces which is part of a Victorian inspired collection

Three pice drop earring

One pice lace earring

A very Niche weekend

Had a wonderful time at the Niche market, it was so lovely having my stall next to Annie from Red Bamboo and Kate from 3 Blind Mice. I had a lot of help from Tiarne at the stall and also with some sewing thanks Tiarne you are the best. My little sister was there as well with one of her friends and they purchased some lovely hand bond journals from Iris

As always I purchased a few cookies from Hungry Kitty they are always so yummy. I also had a chance to get a few soaps and hand cream from Red bamboo.



I also purchased a Christmas candle from 3 Blind Mice, which was a small gift for the Husband



I also purchased this beautiful pendant from The Ruby Pear, it’s by a lady who finds washed up broken plates from an old ship reck. I have a thing for antiques and old plates so when this caught my eye I knew I just had to have it.
