Happy new year, lovely reader!  We hope you had a fantastic holiday season and feel ready to take on 2014.  There’s something about the start of a new year that feels fresh and exciting, don’t you think?

Last year was a fantastic one for Drakestail Jewellery.  We launched our Vintage by Drakestail Jewellery line, which has proven quite popular.  We’ll be expanding the line this year and adding some more designs.  Our Vintage line is now also available in two brick-and-mortar shops, The Foxy Shoppe in Winnipeg, and Rowena in Edmonton (as well as their online store www.retroglam.com)

I’ve been toying with some new designs for hair accessories.  Last year (doesn’t it feel so long ago when I say that?) I put together some cute beaded hair elastics and clips with clusters of pearls and crystals.  They’ve been popular and I’m definitely going to be making more.  We’ll be adding hair accessory options – combs, beaded bobby pins, hairbands, and I’ve even just created my first ever tiara!  Roxy made up some fabulous hair feathers which completely sold out at the Foxy Shoppe.  She’s got more of those on the go, both for the Shoppe and for our Etsy store as well.

While we both took some time off, we’re kicking off the new year with lots of great ideas.  Watch this space for news, updates, and other goodies.  Tell us what you’ve got planned for the new year, too!
