Out out for a long overdue date with Kiri Pr'chard-McLean The Stand Newcastle. My wardrobe is sadly lacking in the sequin department, but felt at the very least my dangliest earrings (LollaMac originals, obvs 😘) and sparkly boots were very much the order of the day!

Oooo, I'm one of those #postnewcomers ! Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

Only a few days now till my first trade show with @BCTF_Harrogate and I think I'm almost ready. Feeling excited and nervous in equal measure! Find me in the Post Newcomer section on Stand P5. See you there?!

All set and ready to go at @BCTF_Harrogate . Here till Tuesday. If you're a buyer for a gallery or gift shop, and looking to stock some fabulous handmade jewellery, let's chat! #LollaMac #ukjewellerymaker

Great 2nd day at @BCTF_Harrogate today, with new LollaMac stockists coming soon to Lancashire, Yorkshire and Norfolk! Roll on day 3 (followed by some much needed sleep please!). #ukjewellerymaker #campaignshopindependent

Great night Pint of Science UK last night. And clearly the old grey matter is still working well despite being used more creatively than analytically these days - 2nd in the quiz and beat MrMac too! 🤓 Wish we could have gone to more. Next year 🤞

First come first served - I'll leave them at the gate for you! 🍻

I'm already a little bit in love with Alvin just from reading this, alas there's only room for one former PD in this house! 🐶 Hope he finds his perfect people soon; if he's anything like Ivan, the cuddles are pure gold 💙

My studio companion just can't keep up with the fast pace of a busy jewellery making business 😉

Well, it's been a while! Back at Newcastle Central Station today with @tinshedarts for the first Friday Arts Steamer. Not gonna lie it's a bit quiet so far 😟 so hoping for a busier afternoon. Help spread the word, or even better, head on over if you can!

The culmination of several months (well, years I guess!) of hard work, my exhibition "Forging Ahead" is OPEN! I've turned the AllendaleForgeStudio gallery into a gorgeous boutique of LollaMac loveliness. Open every day throughout October; come and have a look see 😊

Pants. Seems there's going to be a KTM sized hole in our garage tonight. Not to mention a somewhat p****d off husband on the sofa. 😟

So beautiful down by the river this morning. No matter how much I might not want to get up and out, I never regret doing it, especially when I see this sight 🧡 #Hexham #RiverTyne

Look, I may not always turn my work in on time, or do it the way you think it should be done, or remember every single important detail, or follow all of the directions, or remember where I was going with this…

#MeetTheMaker This coming Thursday afternoon I'll be setting up my bench in the gallery at AllendaleForgeStudio to do a saw piercing demo. Pop along and see how I cut out the tree silhouettes in these lovely earrings. I might even let you have a go yourself... 😁 #LollaMac

So the vintage copper/brass collection grows ever bigger with the addition of my 'new' brass jam pan, thanks to a good furtle around town yesterday. Nice!

Halloween's over, that means we can talk Christmas now, right?! 🎄🎁 I'll be out and about touting my wares over the coming weeks, starting this Saturday at @thehubconsett. Hope to see you somewhere, and of course if you can't make it in person, there's always my website 😘

The boy did good! Here's hoping this one lasts a bit longer...

Awwwww, my gorgeous boys 😍😍😍
