Blog Giveaway!!!!!

Today I am launching my second blog giveaway!

To be in with a chance of winning a bag charm of your choice from Madison Mae please read below.

What you need to do

1) Be a fan of my Facebook page http://www.new.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/pages/Madison-Mae/122673654680?ref=ts

2) Tell me one thing that I could do to my website (www.madison-mae.co.uk) to make it better. I am after constructive criticism and don't mind how honest you are or what your suggestion is. Bring it on!

3) Tell me which is your favourite bag charm currently on the site and why.

To enter please email me, send me a FB message or leave a comment on my blog. The winner will be able to choose a bag charm of their choice from Madison Mae (subject to availability -i.e if it is still on the website when you win the competition, it's yours!) The winner will be announced on this blog and on Facebook on 14th November 2009.

As I am hoping for lots of suggestions I feel it would be unfair to choose one suggestion over the over as the winner (especially as I hope to use all feasible suggestions to improve my site. Therefore the winner will be chosen at random (name picked from a big hat).

Good luck everyone!

Madison Mae does Misi

Madison Mae now has a Misi shop !! http://madisonmae.misi.co.uk

I have been busy loading up bracelets and bag charms to my Misi shop and making new bag charms for Christmas. There is still quite a bit of tweaking to be done to the shop's appearance but hopefully it will be looking fabulous very soon.

Here are some pics of some new designs - some will be on Misi, all will be on my main website

Hope everyone is having a good week.

 

Size Matters!

At Madison Mae size really does matter! That's why I have created a wide range of bag charms in all shapes and lengths so that there is a bag charm to suit not only everyone (hopefully) but also every bag. 

My latest collection of handbag charms features small and yet beautifully formed bag charms, ideal for the more compact handbag - over simply perfect as a dainty keyring.

Craft Fair number 2 booked

I have booked to do another Christmas fair!
This one is in aid of SANDS www.uk-sands.org and is being held on Wednesday 18th November at the Spa Hotel Tunbridge Wells 7.30-9.30pm.
This will be my first craft fair in years so to say I am a little nervous is an understatement. I just hope people that come along like my designs, whether they buy them or not.

I am busy making a new line of small bag charms as most of the designs I make are quite chunky. These new ones will be great for evening bags or even to attach to the boring stringy bit of an umbrella cord.

Today I have taken a big step and opened an online shop with Etsy (http://madisonmae.etsy.com)
I am getting to grips (slowly) with how it all works and hope it will become a great success.

10% Discount of all bag charms

I have been working hard this weekend on changing the photos of the bag charms on the on-line shop and I am really pleased with the results. Slate is definately a much better look than wood and shows off the bag charms more.

After spending hours taking lots and lots of photos I have realised that I need to start designing some smaller simple bag charms. Many of the ones I have already made are either quite chunky or lengthy so to cater for those that like small (and still gorgeous) bag charms I shall get cracking on some new designs.

Bag charms inspired by the five winning names

At last I have managed to finish making the five new bag charms using the winning names from The Cat's Whisker's (Kate). It has been a great challenge and am looking forward to holding another competition soon - what this space!

Left: Eastern Spirit.
made with Smoky Quartz gemstones, Czech glass beads and a lovely silver-foil glass heart.

Below: Winter's Breath
Made with Shell flowers and Swarovski crystals.





Below right: River Wild
A blend of various glass beads and metal accents.








Below Left: Indie Rose
Lots of lovely shell flowers, a gold-plated gecko charm and glass beads.








And finally, the last bag charm is called Midnight Disco, and this one proved to be the most difficult to design. I originally went for a design using all black beads and charms, but then decided that in the light of the moon the sky can look a lovely dark blue and this lead me to create the bag charm below.
These bag charms as well as some other new designs will all be available to buy from Madison Mae this weekend.
