You know the one…….gorgeous warm breezes……..sand in your toes…….a ukelele playing in the distance…….floaty summer dresses and the smell of frangipani.

Here at Cupcakes we heart summer. I was so excited to find these fab shell necklaces that come direct to use from Fiji.

In other news!

My vision for Cupcakes Jewellery has always been to bring gorgeous fashion to special little cupcakes. Cupcakes Jewellery has always loved being inspired by fashion and interpreting that into fabulous pieces for little fashionistas! It is for this reason that I have decided to stop taking custom orders. This is so I can continue to bring gorgeous fashionable pieces to you. My newsletter will bring you a fashion report on all the latest in kids clothes so please join up by either clicking on ‘newsletter’ at www.cupcakesjewellery.com or send me an email.

So, stay tuned for lots more reports on the latest kids fashion.

A present that works a charm!

This afternoon, I handed this gorgeous bracelet over to its new owner. It was hard to let it go, as I have grown to love it as I worked on it but I am sure that the grandmother who is about to receive it for her birthday will cherish it as well! The empty frame is for a baby-to-be who’s photo will take pride of place in this bracelet in June!

Heirloom style photo charm bracelet

I made this bracelet using 24k gold plated photo charms, filigree heart charms, freshwater pearl and swarovski crystal charms and gold toned word charms.

If you would like your own heirloom bracelet, just email me at michelle.dube@bigpond.com and I would love to give you a quote. Prices for this gorgeous bracelet start at $55.00

What’s new for 2009!

cupcakesjewellery — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 01:06:09 +0000

I am really looking forward to this year. I have so many ideas for gorgeous jewellery for your little cupcakes. To start the year off, I have just finished these fun and fabulous headbands.

Fun and Fabulous pink button headband

These fun headbands are made with a shiny pink button and finished with a sparkly swarovski crystal. The headbands are covered in fabric and are really comfortable to wear! The headbands are just $8.00 in the cupcakes store and there are tonnes to choose from!

I love using buttons at the moment. I think they are really fun and pretty. I have used tiny covered buttons in these great rings and hairclips

Gorgeous Cherry Ring and Matching Hair clip

These also come in lots of different colours so check them out in the Cupcakes Store

Don’t forget its Valentines Day soon. The best day in the year to let those you love how you feel about them. To celebrate love I couldn’t resist this gorgeous “I love you” heart pendant

"I love you" red heart necklace

I couldn’t resist making these beautiful bracelets for gorgeous little girls.

Beautiful charm bracelet

And finally, I love these “little hoot” owl earrings. How cute are these?????

Well, I have just had a wonderful time making lots of gorgeous pieces for little cupcakes to open on Christmas morning. It has been so much fun designing these special pieces and is such a privilege to be able to make something for your special children.

The last of the packages have been despatched so I finally have some time to post some photo’s of my latest pieces.

A princess for a princess. This one was for a gorgeous little girl who loved pink and purple.

Everyone loves cupcakes and these colourful cupcakes are always so popular. This one is a gorgeous cupcake necklace with matching round beads. So yummy!

Makayla loves pink, purple and fairies, so here is a bracelet just for her. She also got a matching necklace!

These little peas are for a special set of twins!

Lastly, it doesn’t get more special than this. This gorgeous glass pendant was made for a special mum. Now she can keep her two beautiful children with her always.

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all my amazing clients a very merry christmas. May all your dreams come true in 2009.

Lots of love,

michelle x

Off to the market again

It’s busy busy busy here because Cupcakes Jewellery will be at the heritage craft market on Sunday, 6th October. I love this market because it is all handmade and handcrafted products. I seem to always manage to spend my profits on everyone elses gorgeous things.

Anyway, I’d love to see you there if you can make it. I’ll have my table full of cute as a button hair clips, matching earrings and rings as well as my usual bracelets and necklaces.

See you then,

Michelle

Spring is in my heart and on my head

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth’s dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, “The Sensitive Plant”

Flower garden headband – $24.00

“Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair
and let us huddle together as darkness takes over
We are at home amidst the birds and the trees,
for we are children of nature.“
- Susan Polis Shutz

Butterfly headband – $14.00

These gorgeous headbands are available in different colours and combinations. Email me at michelle.dube@bigpond.com for more information or visit the cupcakes shop by clicking the link to the right.

From one mum to another.

I just love to work with other mums in business. At Cupcakes we are always on the lookout for interesting, original pieces we can use in our jewellery, especially those made from other mums working from home. I fell in love with these little wooden pendants and brooches that come all the way from Suffolk in England.

I have matched the little wooden pendants with lots of swarovski crystals and catseye beads. They are then finished on pretty satin ribbon and include an extention chain.

I have lots more listed in my store (click the link in the blogroll) or email me at michelle.dube@bigpond.com

There’s a bluebird on my shoulder.

Well, not quite on my shoulder, but certainly hanging around my neck! I can’t wait until Spring to show you these gorgeous little Blue Bird pendants. I just love everything to do with birds, and these ones bring such a happy feeling.

This little bluebird is made from glass and he is sitting on a little silvertoned nest. The pendant includes a silvertoned chain and is available for just $12.00 from the cupcake shop.

Here are some more spring bracelet from Cupcakes Jewellery.

“Hearts and Flower” bracelet features gorgeous lampwork hearts, metal flower and butterfly and a cute jingly heart charm.

This spring bracelet features glass lampwork bird and heart, metal butterfly and flower and some czech crystals and catseye beads.

It’s a good hair day!

cupcakesjewellery — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 12:50:15 +0000

I love how a gorgeous little hair clip can totally transform a little girl from a wild child to sweet and innocent!

Here are a few of the latest clips from Cupcakes!

This gorgeous rose feels a bit vintage. It is made from polymer clay and features a pale pink centre.

This little pair of matching roses and just perfect for spring. Made from polymer clay they would also match perfectly with the big vintage inspired Rose clip.

These initial pins are made to order. Wear one or wear more and you’ll never call her by the wrong name again!

I love hair combs. They can be worn so many different ways. If you little girl has fine hair, just pull it back into a pony tail and pop this one in the side. This one is made from swarovski crystal sliders and is wire wrapped for strength.

Don’t forget, we love to custom make our jewellery, so if there is any you would like me to make just for your little cupcake, just email me at michelle.dube@bigpond.com

It’s a cupcake party!

cupcakesjewellery — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:45:26 +0000

I just love these little party princesses! They are so fun. It’s just like wearing a little friend.

This little party princess is called “Zoe”. Zoe has gorgeous blonde hair and just loves to dance!

The second little party princess is “Sarah”.

Sarah is the sweetest little girl around. She has a beautiful smile and is great at giving cuddles.

Every little girl loves to have her friends close. Please contact me to custom make your own party princess
