No Weeds in this Garden!

We are absolutely thrilled to have found the wonderfully, talented designer Zelda Wong to join our site and feel very honoured she wants to showcase her pieces in our boutique.

The collection we are showcasing is called Winter Garden, and I think the sheer beauty and precision of the pieces speak for themselves.

This gorgeous Garland ring only went on-line
last night. I happened to tweet about it, and this
morning my Inbox was full of enquiries and
orders!!

This Garland pendant is one of 2 gorgeous variations.

Zelda is originally from Macau but has lived in the UK for some time. Her inspiration comes from her love of the English countryside and typical English country gardens.
Her designs of these botanical forms encapsulates the beauty of the flower and plant.

Aren't these Lily drop earrings divine?

Every piece of jewellery is individually hand-made in her workshop in the UK (and all product materials are only sourced within the UK).

She is also the winner of the Loumin Design Innovation Award (2009).

These stunning drop earrings are based on the Winter
Eucalyptus plant.How stunningly original are these?
The matching pendant is just below.

This is the gorgeous Eucalyptus pendant that can be
matched with the earrings above. Every leaf is individually
handmade and pierced onto the stem; exquisite!!

Her designs really are stunning, exquisite, delicately feminine and really unique.

The rest of the Winter Garden Collection is showcased in our boutique.

SMELL THE FLOWERS ON YOUR SIDE OF THE PATH!

This is a really wonderful story…………

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.

Of course the perfect pot was proud of it’s accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of it’s own imperfection and miserable that it could only do half of what what it had been made to do. After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.



“I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to the house”. The old woman smiled, “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path but not on the other pot’s side? That’s’ because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.”


Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You’ve just got to take each person for what they are and look at the good in them.


SO to all my “crack pot” friends, what flaws have you embraced? Whatever they are just remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!!!!
