Heart Gallery Bride and Groom send thank you note

Jo and Matt's thank you letter

I love Heart Gallery! I truly do!  It’s not just because Heart Gallery is a dream that’s turned into a reality and I am living and breathing Heart Gallery every day … how many people enjoy their work as much as me? I love Heart Gallery because every day is different and I meet so many lovely people on this journey of mine.

This week Wednesday saw me smile when I opened the mail and read this lovely letter from Jo and Matt. Last year I worked with Jo and Amanda Cox, one of Heart Gallery’s talented local jewellery designer/makers, to incorporate a diamond Jo had taken from her Dad’s tie pin into her bridal piece so that a little bit of Dad would still be with her on her BIG day. Getting it right was obviously so important to Jo so the pressure was on!

When Jo came to collect her finished piece she was really nervous but I was more so I think! I shouldn’t have been but my customers are important to me. There were tears all round when she opened the box and loads of hugs when she tried her necklace on. This had been an incredible journey for us all and it was great to see Jo leave Heart Gallery so delighted.

Thank you Jo and Matt for sending a picture of your special Wedding Day and for the lovely letter, so special and it is now on display in Heart Gallery.

Bright blessings, Alison x

September

 

Two moggies - capturing pets

Well friends, as September draws to a close I have now made a commitment pact with myself to keep this blog, my facebook account, flickr account and notonthehighstreet selling website more regularly updated. The problem being, as always, not enough hours in the day I’m afraid. These are the links for you all to bookmark so that you can keep dipping in to see new work:

You can get to this blog and to notonthehighstreet from the main Heart Gallery website.

Here are some images for you of new work which has arrived this month and I shall be doing a monthly feature in the future to keep you up-to-date of new arrivals. Don’t forget though that when an item is sold it is gone for good as I don’t stock pieces that are mass produced and quite often my designers will make a collection specific to an exhibition and I will only have these pieces for 6-8 weeks. It really is a case of … if you see it, love it, desire it, have to have it … then buy it.

Bye for now

Alison
