Reflection

For me, January is a time for reflection, evaluation, taking stock and planning.

I love this month.  Jewelry sales are typically slow after a busy December so I like to focus on the business side of Birdland Creations - what I've done, what I want to do, where I'm going, strategies, etc - and not on creating and selling jewelry.

To this end, I'll not be blogging much this month, but will be coming up with new ideas.  I'll share these with you soon.

Hope January is a good month for reflecting for you too.

Perched

v. perched, 

v.intr.

To stand, sit, or rest on an elevated place or position.

And for this little birdie, that "elevated place" is your hand!

He just loves to be perched on a finger and go where you go.....watching in on your world... A perfect companion.

And whilst he's quite a big bird and solid silver, as he's perched on a squared ring shank, that means his weight doesn't make him want to slide around your finger.

The soft matt finish just makes you want to cuddle up to him!

Gift Guide

I added a new page to my website this past week. It's a gift guide - to help people make choices appropriate for different occasions.


At the moment there are 21 different "gift" occasions ranging from the usual birthday and anniversary, to illness, life change, support, winter....etc etc. Hopefully it will provide a little help for those finding it difficult...


For each occasion I have selected three different items from my collection. I'd love some feedback if you fancy taking a look...here's the gift guide or click on one of the photos. Let me know what you think of the idea and any other categories you think it would be useful to add.
