I recently launched my own website, Love Peggy Rose, where I sell up-cycled vintage and pre-owned costume jewellery that I make myself. It combines a love of fun, glamorous jewellery with a desire to keep things ‘green’ by recycling things that aren’t used any more!

One of my favourite pieces is this Heart Drop Headdress, it’s simple but totally gorgeous and is sure to dress up any outfit!

With headdresses, necklaces, earrings, rings and collar clips there’s something for everyone, and the products are all one-of-a-kind individual pieces! Why not head on over to the Love Peggy Rose website and take a look for yourself? And give us a like on Facebook too!

Small business only become big ones with a little help from people like you!

If you read my Project Life posts, you might have seen that lately I’ve been working on an exciting new project called Love Peggy Rose. I’ve always made my own jewellery out of odd bits of chain and random trinkets that I find, and love the idea of up-cycling something to give it a new lease of life – it’s creative, and it’s recycling! So I’ve decided to put that love to good use, and set up a shop to sell my up-cycled jewellery!

I’ve been hard at work creating lots of cool products, from necklaces and rings, to headbands and collar clips, and working on branding.

The name Love Peggy Rose came from an evolution of ideas, from the wonder of recycling a product from a previous generation into something new, from having love for what you do, from the desire to progress in the future to form a community. Peggy is my Nannie’s name, and Rose is my Mum’s middle name. I wanted to keep the name personal and versatile, so that options for the future are endless!

I’m currently working on getting things prepared, ready for the launch of an online shop. I’m going to use Goodsie as a platform to design the shop, and can’t wait for the launch of their new system so I can get started! Take a look at this video if you want to see the amazing things you’ll be able to achieve with the new Goodise!

Project Life: Week 16

Life has been great recently, and I think my Project Life for this week really shows that! There’s lots of colour and bright pictures, and it’s wonderful to be able to see how my projects are progressing from week to week.

One of the most important things for me to include was this picture of the heart shaped logo I designed for my up-cycled jewellery line, which I’ve been working really hard on (you can like the Love Peggy Rose page on Facebook to keep updated with my progress, and follow @LovePeggyRose on Twitter!). I also started my Equality and Diversity course this week, so I included that, and a lovely walk that Sam and I took in the sun around Hayesden.
I’ve also been getting a lot more creative lately, which I’m very pleased about, so I wrote about my latest crochet project (a set of cushion covers for my Mum) and added strips of coloured ricrac which I used to make some up-cycled key necklaces. It was a good week for food, as I made two new recipes (jam tarts and herb and mozzarella mushrooms with garlic toast) and couldn’t resist a massive ice cream when the van parked right outside my house!

I’m enjoying working on my Project Life so much, it’s incredible to have a collection of memories to look back on every week, and I can’t wait to find out what’s in store for me in the future!
