Not just for the Ladies

No, no, no, ijkreation is not just for the Ladies!

You can find some cufflinks, along with other items, on sale at A Little Bit of Vintage and Urbane, and on my Folksy shop.
Please note that the selection varies in each outlet.

I hope you will find that special something for that special someone. And keep your eyes peeled... Pin clips will be coming soon.

Ode to a leaf

It's that time of year again. Leaves take on crazy colours and cover the ground. Beautiful and sad images. So I decided to honour the leaves with a poem. Here it comes:

You grow,
You fly.
You fall,
You die.

Hum hum. Ok. Maybe I should stick to what I know better...
So here is a necklace and earrings to celebrate all the leaves we are going to miss for the next few months. Wear them proudly around your neck and remember how much we owe them!

I really like the combination of metal and delicate lace or fabric so there will definitely be more of these in the coming weeks. Keep checking...

Problems with comments

Hi everybody,

It seems that many of you are experiencing problems with leaving your comments. Some comments are counted but are not displayed, others don't show at all.
Sorry about that, I am working on it! In the meantime, please keep trying!

Find me on Folksy and buy online!

I have just finished setting up my online shop on Folksy: http://www.folksy.com/shops/ijkreation

Are you sick of those 3 for 2 offers on mass produced, soulless stuff? Folksy is a friendly place to buy and sell handmade items. It is based in the UK but most people will sell abroad too. 

Bon shopping!
