Melbourne Cup Roses and the Colours of Spring

What a better way to celebrate Spring than to stop and look at the gorgeous roses in everyone's garden and at Flemington this year.  So many colours and styles to please every taste.  Have a look at some of our favourite ones... 

 

 







 

...and a few bracelets that we whipped up for the special day that are a

perfect complement to these vibrant natural colours. 

 

NeckSpice at Life's Little Treasures Foundation - Walk For Prems

The NeckSpice girls were at the Life's Little Treasures Foundation Walk for Prems in Albert Park in Melbourne on Sunday 27 Oct 2013.  There were similar events in other States throughout Australia - just have a look at the LLTF website for
details of the amazing amount raised for this great charity. 

Come and walk or run with us next year to show your support, wear something orange and get fit in the process.  We were wearing our orange hippie beads in two gorgeous tones of orange with matching nail polish...look forward to having all our NeckSpice readers spread the word about LLTF and join in the celebrations for 2014.

 

 



 

 

 

Thank You NeckSpice Devotees

What a lovely day we had today at NeckSpice Central.  Cups of tea, delicate almond biscuits, strawberry chocolates and lots of chatter as our dedicated NeckSpice customers viewed and experienced the latest collections.  Jane and I were thrilled to spend the morning with you assisting in Spring racing dressing advice (definitely needed due to our weather patterns) and Christmas gift preparations.  Above all it was ... pure fun.

 

 



No pictures available of the yummy biscuits...

or chocolates ... or strawberries ...wonder why! 

Spring & Summer Silk

We like to add beautiful fabrics to our NeckSpice scarf collection each year.  These soft beautiful silks with just the right amount of colour are perfect for Spring and Summer dressing - think Racing Carnival.  Same jewellery yet a different silk scarf can change an outfit so dramatically...

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

New Designs for Spring and Summer 2013

We have been busy with some new designs for Spring and Summer 2013 - this one is called the double multi-coloured.  Here is a sneak preview of the design in progress.  We have discovered that they are harder to produce than we first anticipated as the beads have to "work" both in size and colour over two strands...it has been a very interesting experience.  Let us know via email if you would like to attend our showing in Melbourne next week.

 

 

Delicate Beads add Spring to Vintage Pearls

This week we are drawing inspiration from our Vintage Pearls for a fresh look for Spring.  Most of us have a pearl necklace that is waiting to be redesigned into a new piece. 

We love incorporating different beads into our designs to bring a new career

 to that gorgeous string of pearls. 

Do you have pearls longing for a revamp in your jewellery box?

 

 

Draw some inspiration from our favourite books and let us know

if you would like to have a piece redesigned...

 

 

 

NeckSpice in Melbourne

Today I was wearing one of the new Clove designs (from the Winter range)

however as I was standing in my garden I noticed that Winter had morphed into

Spring, and it caught me a bit by surprise...whilst Jane and I have started planning the

Spring collection we are still happy to wear and enjoy the Winter pieces for a few days yet!

 

 

New Baby in Our Lives

A new baby has entered the NeckSpice circle ... a friend has had a much anticipated little girl. 

We thought that we would celebrate with a gift for the baby

 and something from NeckSpice for MUM. 

Dad will have to make do with champagne! 

 

Colourful Winter

There is always a space for grey and black in one's Winter wardrobe but with the happy news of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby we thought we would knit a
Colourful Winter. 

 

 Here are our NeckSpice creations in a very striking green and deep magenta with coordinated hippie beads and a bracelet from our Peaceful collection.  Tania and I are not so good at knitting booties so we will keep designing scarfs for now...

 

 

NeckSpice in the Life's Little Treasures Foundation video

Life's Little Treasures Foundation recently launched its exciting new promotional video. We are so proud to be associated with this marvellous charity.  Please have a look at the video and see how LLTF is making a difference to the lives of premature babies and their families.

We were thrilled that Parool Shah Harrington (president of LLTF) chose to wear her NeckSpice pieces (from the Hippie range) for the LLTF video.  The production of this video was made possible thanks to the amazing generosity and skilled services of Keith Webb, Director of Image Control. Keith has 30 years experience in video production and brings commercials, corporate communications and documentaries to life.   To see the LLTF video visit www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTYnFPPOKVY
