Site Updated

I've updated the site today with fresh necklaces, bracelets, earrings and vintage items - you already know about the freebie offer and prize draw which I mentioned a few days ago, but this is just a quick heads up on the update.  

A handmade doll for my niece

Yesterday was my niece May's christening day - it was great to see all my brothers and their families, we don't see that much of each other - we all lead busy lives and its just the way it is.   All my brothers - Christopher, Colin and Jonathan are younger than me and baby May Elizabeth is my middle brother and his wife Clare's first child - she's now about six months old.    So we all gathered on an unseasonably cold May day amidst the blossom

Still missing, still missed, still looking

It is three years since little Madeleine McCann went missing, and today her parents have released a new video in the hopes it will spark someone's memory, or someone's conscience.   As with the last one, if you do nothing else today, please view the video, please go to the website, and please remember she is still missing.

Want some free earrings? Or how about winning a necklace?

I love giving stuff away - ask any of my regular customers!
How would you like a pair of these earrings, free with purchase?

Simply spend £50 or over (not including postage and packing) in a single order between today and midnight on the 31st May and you'll get a pair of these Swarovski cube and sterling silver earrings.  
As you can see, I've gone a bit mad and made them in lots of different colours and they're all wrapped up ready to go so colours will be totally random.   If you order again and fulfil the conditions, you'll get another pair (in a different colour).  Simple as that.  
The earrings will come wrapped in tissue in an organza bag - wear them yourself or give them to someone you love, your choice. 
And for those with unpierced ears, like mine, just let me know and I'll change the fittings to plated clip ones at no extra cost.    

As always, there's lots of stuff on www.slcdesigns.co.uk - I hope you'll find something you just have to have on there!

AND...

May 2010's win a necklace competition...

Win this SLC Designs necklace - made with silver-lined handmade Murano glass, silver lined seed beads, sterling silver and Swarovski crystal, you can wear it anyway up you want.  Every time you purchase something from the SLC Designs Jewellery website, you'll be entered into the draw, regardless of the value of the item.   The more times you come back and purchase, the more entries you'll get.   I'll make the draw on June the 1st and announce the winner then.  Good luck!

And the winner is...

Congratulations to Carolyn L. of Yorkshire who won this necklace made from sterling silver, Aquamarine, freshwater pearls, Turquoise, Swarovski crystal, Murano glass, antique glass beads, Peridot and Mother of Pearl in my April Prize Draw - your necklace will be on its way on Monday, Carolyn!

Comiserations to everyone else who didn't win but later today I'll be doing a mail out with a freebie offer and a new prize draw, so watch this space and your in-boxes!

This is Blue...

This is our Burmese boy, Blue, who likes to sit under the lights in our photography area, as he is doing here, which prevents any work being done.  He also likes to sit in front of the television screen, mostly when you're trying to watch something you're following like FlashForward.  And he likes to sit on any chair you might like to sit on, and he likes to sit on your car bonnet so you can't drive off.   Yes, this, everyone, is Blue.
