Health Service Discounts 2022- 2023, by Caprilicious

Hello people, how are you? I am very excited that I have been able to cut a deal with Health Service Discounts and am able to offer all NHS workers a flat 15% off everything on Caprilicious. The company also has other websites with discounts for teachers, carers, and charity workers and Caprilicious is on all of these.

I feel extremely pleased that I can offer this to key workers  - clapping on Thursdays is one thing, but in these really hard times with Christmas around the corner, I think a discount is much better. This is what Caprilicious looks like on their websites. I have  negotiated a deal for an year with this company - a more lasting way of saying thank you to all my colleagues.

So, while all this was brewing and emails flying back and forth, I sat down every evening, sewing beads around a beautiful, large ammonite. The back of the ammonite was not smooth - I think it was really meant as a showpiece as it came with a little easel, but I didn't let that stop me - a You Tube tutorial showed me how to pack felt under it and faux suede around the edges to make the back flat, and off I went. I like to learn new techniques and tricks each time I create. Making the same thing over and over again doesn't interest me at all, I think that's what I love about artisanal jewellery - there are so many techniques involved, one can spend a lifetime learning them.

This has been an unseasonably warm November and the garden is still going - my little Marguerites are actually budding and flowering, as is the Acanthus Mollis or Bear's Breeches - I love that name and looked everywhere for the origin but couldn't find it. What I found out was that the distinctive shape of the foliage has adorned Corinthian columns since the 18th century. Those leaves are certainly beautiful.

That's me for this week, folks. Stay warm and have a great week, and I'll catch you soon, 
Until then

     I'm Neena Shilvock,  and I'm crazily addicted to jewellery.

    I've been designing and making quirky and interesting statement necklaces for over ten years and my passion hasn't cooled off one little bit - in fact it has got worse, such that I  even dream jewellery.

    I'd love to get to know kindred spirits like you, so drop me a line and I'll get back to you, and who knows, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
