Welcome to a monthly dose of inspiration from our studio straight to you. Within our team of 15 makers, there’s a fair amount of chat. We want to share what we’re talking about and what’s grabbed our attention. No selling, no jewellery talk, just things that make us smile. Here’s hoping they make you smile too.

V&A East Storehouse, London
The V&A East Storehouse has just opened in East London, and it’s unlike any museum you’ve been to. Over 600,000 objects - think vintage motorbikes, ancient textiles, curious artefacts - all housed in a former Olympic media centre. It’s free (!) fascinating, and perfect for a slow wander next time you’re in the capital city.

Down at the Allotment
Wherever you are, the allotment is a little slice of sanity. In Braunton, it’s all kicking off down there right now! Sweet peas climbing, strawberries ripening, robins flirting from the compost heap. Our maker Helen and her kids are even learning to recognise birdsong…

Braunton Sandwich Club
What began as a WhatsApp group is now a fully-fledged phenomenon. Braunton Sandwich Club drops just three sandwich options, all on freshly constructed on ciabatta, made to order, collection only, fortnightly on a Friday. A simple premise, but outrageously good.

Last One Laughing – Amazon Prime
In need of a mood lift? Guaranteed to deliver the belly laughs, comedians are locked in a room with one very simple premise: not to laugh. Utter chaos but in the best way. Joyful, ridiculous, and exactly what your end-of-day brain needs.

Paper Flowers for Your Next Bash
Maker’s Choice indeed! Planning a birthday, baby shower or engagement do? Consider going DIY on the florals. Paper flowers are cheaper than a florist, endlessly customisable, and surprisingly therapeutic to make. Our copywriter Rachel crafted some for her wedding altar using these templates and loved every moment.
