Sold my first bracelet with the fabulous Oriental Magpie website!!
After the wonderful Emma of the oriental magpie website, a handcrafted bazaar, allowed me to sell my Jewellery with her, I have been ever so excited. And my first sale just topped it all off! i feel like I finally really am getting my business up and running. I know it's only the first sale with this particular website, but my bracelets are out there now and hopefully the word will soon spread! Here is the little beauty that sold! Let me know what you think, email for any special requests of what you would like making up, or visit Emma at the oriental mapie...www.theorientalmagpie.com and buy some of my other designs!!
Back in rainy old England!!
Hello everyone, after a very busy last few weeks making up loads of cards and jewellery (and selling lots too...thank goodness!) I booked myself a very well deserved last minute holiday to Bulgaria. After arriving back on Saturday in the very early hours, I took 3 days off before getting everything back on track with my business. I must say I have missed running my little boutique and couldn't resist sorting one or two bits out while I was on holiday! How sad! Anyway I am back now oficially and start making up lots more cards tomorrow. I have an order for a Thank you card so will be adding that up tomorrow. And don't forget to drop me a little message for any special requests both bracelet or card wise. Thanks for following everyone. All my love, Becky.xx

Order time!
Got my first order that requested a specific design last week. It was for a sixteen year olds birthday. The mother contacted me to make it up for her daughter. She told me she loved pink colours, but didn't want anything too girly. Yikes i thought!! How can you do pink without being girly!!! Anyway, I got my craft on and came up with this absoloute beauty. It is in my opinion my fave ever! I couldn't part from it! Anyway I recieved a fab email off the girl this morning...
"Thank you soooo much for the bracelet, it is absoloutly beautiful, I am wearing it now. I have a pink outfit for my part tonight so it will match perfectly."
So thank you very much to Danielle and her mum for her order, I am so glad I made you happy. This is what it is all about.
Anymore orders or requests them please email me at bexicullen@aol.com. I make anything you want, any colours, any styles. I also make a few beautiful cards, so email for that too. Thanks guys, lots more to come so keep your eyes peeled.

All Things Pretty - My story
Well Hello...Here I am finally getting my blog up and running. After making my website and all my items, I thought "why not blog about it". Anyway for people who are new to my beautiful business...Lets start at the very beginning...(It's a very good place to start) hehe....
My story
... so far!! Well unfortunatly the beginning of my story is not so cherpy and happy. However, I believe that in all lifes evil, there are good things to come from it. I have had to have that theory more so than ever these past few month...
I am a 19 year old student, studying Drama at University. On Easter Sunday my family and I sat down to a beautiful Sunday/Easter lunch, my mum,dad,sister,her friend,my boyfriend,auntys,uncles,grandparents, happy as larry. On easter Monday my Dad died suddenly and unexpectadly,he wasn'it ill, we were left with no explination, his life was took from him at just 49. He left behind, me, my mum and my sister, his brother, his sister, and his identical twin. Life will never be the same for us ever again, and each day is a struggle and everything we do seems like a huge mountain to climb. As hard as it is to say and face after the loss of somebody so incredible and so loved, someone who can NEVER be replaced, Life does have to go on, and staying at home moping does not help anybody. This is one of the hardest lessons I have ever had to learn, and a lesson I thought I would not have to face for a long time. Going out in public is hard at a time like this, and everything you do seems so trivial in comparison to your problems. I decided to make use of the days that i could not face going out. Prehaps I can not face seeing people, but i need to get out of bed and make my day productive. I began making my own bracelets. I found it so relaxing and hugely theraputic. I was feeling so happy again, and was loving what I was doing. One thing lead to another, and they were so gorgeous, I began enquiring about selling them. It began with Ebay, then I got accepted to sell my designs on a beautiful Handcrafted website, www.theorientalmagpie.co.uk, and now I have my own site up and running, I sell my products on artfire,and now my blog is taking shape! I have even now began making and selling cards and wall art aswell. I am loving everything about this. It is giving me a well needed focus in the long summer months before University starts again, and it is giving me back the confidence that is lost at a time like this. I have come to the conclusion these past few months, as hard as it is to face...but Shit happens, there is nothing we can do to turn back time, life has its cruel twists and turns, but rather than sit and mope about, lets make one good thing out of a nightmarish situation. That is what I am doing with my new business. My father would not want me to mope about wasting my summer away, he would want me to do something productive. I would never have started All Things pretty up if my father was here today. I would have spent my summer like every other summer, going out with friends, partying,shopping,sunbathing,going on holiday. I would certainly not stay in and make Jewelerry. But life often changes its path and I can only be so thankful and look at one advantage in this whole situation...I have found something I really love doing, and I thank my dad every day for that. I would rather have you back in an instant...but life cannot let that happen, so for now, I am happy doing my Jewellery and crafts. Hope you like it. :-)
