Charming!

Oh dear - no blogs for ages again, we are a lazy bunch! Actually we are a very busy bunch, beavering away. So here's evidence of my (Jemima) beavering - halfway to making the 200 charms I need to have ready before the end of April when my work will be in the latest notonthehighstreet catalogue. They tell me will sell around 160 of my charm necklaces (available here and in fig) so I want to have lots ready before then.

Just got over the half way mark....

It's that time of year again!

Oh yes it is (oh no it's not shouts Jane from the back of the shop) - it's the North Bristol Arts Trail this coming weekend, the 27th and 28th of November, and in Fig things are all go. We have been tidying and polishing, tweaking and twizzling (or slimmering perhaps Kate?) getting Fig to look just right.

Meanwhile I have been putting the finishing touches to my new aluminium collection to be unveiled on Friday night at the NBA preview night. But, as a special treat, I'm putting a couple of photos here for you to look at. Come and check them out for yourselves this weekend, and if you can make it on Friday night, there'll be mulled wine to enjoy too.

Running out of time - Kate


There never seems to be enough hours in the day. Despite suffering from a cold, Jemima doggedly continued to make her new range of jewellery for an exhibition in Bristol at this week .
As you can see, it's a combination of her traditional butterflies and birds, cut out in aluminium, mixed with her clock range and I love love love it.
She didn't want me to take this picture of her, but you can just get a glimpse of her cool new dress that she bought from a little independent shop in Dorchester last week. It's really versatile cause you can wear it both winter and summer - just add a top and leggings! At least that's how she justified it!
