I hope you enjoy having a browse around my website, as it has been set up specially for you, and you will find it very easy to navigate.

I try to add new items to the shop every week, and all the designer jewellery is hand made by me, Sue Graham.

Have a look around the shop and see what takes your fancy.

For those of you who enjoy making your own items, I have lots of lovely beads, gemstones, findings etc, which are being added to regularly.

Click onto the 'Shop Items' button above, then on the button for your required selection, which is on the left hand side of the page.

For those of you who prefer to buy your jewellery ready made, my exclusive, handcrafted designs are there for you.

Most of these pieces are 'specials'- one off pieces that will never be repeated, and don't you want to be wearing jewellery that you know that no-one else will have?

All items can be shipped Worldwide, and all shipping is FREE OF CHARGE.

All packaging that I use is from re-cycled sources.

Each month I will be having a prize draw to win some of my beads or other items.

Each purchase made through the month will give you entry to the draw. So if you buy 2 lots of beads in your order, you'll get 2 entries, and so on...

At the end of the month I'll draw one name from the pile and that person will win the freebies.

Ok, so here is the item that is up for grabs this month (see pic on right)...

A stunning set of Textile large holed beads which have been handcrafted by the Textile Bead Artist Eleanore Brown.

... they've arrived and they are up on site under their brand new category 'Handcrafted Textile Beads by Eleanore Brown'

The category is divided into two, 'Large Holed Beads' and 'Small Holed Beads'

Here's a brief write up that Eleanore has done to introduce her creative side to you all...

I have no formal art training. The beads that I make evolved simply from a passion to be creative. My mother taught me to knit and crochet when I was
quite young and I've always 'collected' beautiful yarns, roving, fabric and
anything with shine and glitter.

I am also addicted to crafting tools. If it has a handle, a crank, a blade or heats up, I own it! I can't walk by paint brushes on sale without buying a package 'for a rainy day.' My studio then, is a collection of all things
that have the potential to be something beautiful with a little ingenuity applied. Believe me when I tell you, the fiber, fabric, beads and tools cover every square inch very neatly--all the way to the ceiling.

One day I was rolling a piece of paper between my fingertips. I looked down and thought 'people make beads this way with paper.' I thought about the
lovely fabrics I'd bought recently and ran home to make a whole shoebox full of fabric beads. And then I thought of the lovely fiber I'd picked up the week before...and fiber beads were born.

I garden extensively and spend every spare moment in my studio listening to books on disc. A librarian has to keep up with the latest books! I am also
passionate about walking and sometimes do my best creative thinking while I walk.

I think that's pretty much the creative me in a nutshell.

Eleanore lives and works in Illinois, USA. Her 'proper' job is as a Librarian.

Norma has made you a whole new menagerie, and I've given them all identities. OK, I was in a strange mood, but do see if you can guess who some of them are? (I'm sure the real people I've named them after won't be offended when they see them!).

Congratulations Ailish Brady from County Cavan, it's you. I will be sending your prize off tomorrow.
Thank you so much for buying from my shop.

Sue.

I made this funky watch using Eleanores' textile beads for the bracelet.
