A few months ago I received an e-mail from a lovely lady called Keli who was getting married in August, she asked me to produce a bunting necklace and bracelet for her wedding. I couldn't think of anything more wonderful than the opportunity to produce an item that would be a part of someones most important day of their lives.

I set about creating a necklace and bracelet in a range of designs, I also thought it would be nice with this been a keepsake to add something a bit extra, so for the necklace I produced a personalised bunting pendant that went on the back of the necklace with the bride and grooms initials and wedding date on. I really liked the bracelet and produced two different designs for Keli to choose from, I also placed the patterns on both sides of the bunting so which ever way the bunting hung there would always be a pattern on show. Similar designs of the bracelet will be added to my store soon so please keep an eye out, here are a few images of the finished products. I didn't post them earlier as I didn't want the groom to catch a glimpse of them!

So I have spent a lot of time on the internet lately.... its fair to say and I didn't think I would ever say this but I am actually bored of the internet! ahhhhhh hopefully that will change when I am better and able to leave the house. But this has given me plenty of time to do a lot of looking and a little buying for my wedding. Which by the way is year away on the 29th of June!!!

Me and my partner Paul want a wedding that represents both our tastes and interests, we both love vintage and handmade so this will be a major part of our wedding day, 


One of the things that I have wanted before I was even engaged was brooch/button bouquet. So I have 
started collecting buttons and enamel flower brooches to make my own bouquet and button holes. Here are a few images of the ones I have collected so far, 

Hello!

Well as you can tell by the title I'm getting hitched! me and my partner have been engaged for a few years now and decided it was about time we tied the knot. So seen as I love all things vintage and handmade! it only seems natural that the two will be very prominent on our wedding day. So I thought I would blog my ideas and Journey to my wedding day!

On Sunday we attended the Harrogate Vintage wedding fair, we went a couple of years ago but there was so much more stuff this time... I came out buzzing with ideas and wanting so many things.... not good! Paul (of Stott and Atkinson) my lovely husband to be took some great images of the event.

Hello!

It has been a while since I last blog but with a massive rush at Christmas and then been poorly I have got a little behind with everything! So I am slowly getting back to myself.

I have lots of new exciting projects coming up, One of the biggest changes to Jodie Anna is..... that all my items are going to be laser cut, it was a big decision as I was worried that having my items laser cut would take away the handmade side of my items but I have had my samples back and they look great! .... well I think they do. It makes my pieces look much sharper and pristine. I am also working on two new collections that I hope will be ready soon and fingers crossed by mid March Jodie Anna will be re-launched with new packaging and new laser cut items! all very exciting.

But if you can't wait to for a sneak peek of my new collections I will have some items with me at the following fairs, International women's day on the 4th of March at the Queens hotel Leeds.
