New Gift Ideas Featured My Rings!

Super excited to have my By The Light stacking ring set featured in last week’s Ethical.Market newsletter. The newsletter highlighted new gift ideas for the coming season. Click here to see the newsletter from Ethical.Market.

This set of 3 silver stackable rings are part of my By The Light collection which is named after a song from my mum’s favourite film. Pieces of handmade silver jewellery from this collection features a silvery moon. The film features Doris Day singing a song called ‘By the light of the silvery moon’. 

Why not watch/listen to the song here ? It’s an oldie but a goodie!

New Gift Ideas - Choc Hazelnut Lip Butter

What is Ethical.Market?

Ethical Market is the UK’s largest online market place for gifts, jewellery, clothes and homewares for the ethical shopper. When it comes to new gift ideas, I’ve got my eye on this cruelty free chocolate and hazelnut lip butter by Laila London… yum! 

After watching the recent Panorama program about illegal and child workers in our fashion industry I am more and more inclined to shop ethical every day.

Do you shop ethical? What’s your favourite online shop for ethical products? Would love to hear your recommendations. Thank you.

I’ve been exhibiting at Artwave for a few years now and love the location for Art and Soul. Situated right near the South Downs Way next to the village duck pond and old church, it’s a picture post card setting. Also Sue Barnes curates a very good show and is amazing at organising everything. Art and Soul at Falmer has many faithful followers and it’s not a surprise! I hope you can come and visit.
