I came across Coryographies on Etsy, where I sell my jewellery. Etsy is a massive global marketplace for handmade and vintage goodies, which can be a great opportunity (my first sale there was to someone in Australia!), but can also seem rather impersonal and daunting. So sellers can join teams, to share information, ideas and encouragement. Recently, a rather special little team was formed for Etsy sellers from Oxford - hurray! And one of the team leaders turned out to be someone who makes jewellery after my own heart - you know, the kind of thing that makes you think "Damn! I wish I'd thought of that first!":
Coryographies is the brainchild of Cory Cuthbertson, a Canadian ex-pat living in Oxford with her English husband, and she makes these lovely little bookcase necklaces in a variety of designs, including an Alice in Wonderland shelf, and a bright pink Valentines version. She also makes little teapot necklaces, and book earrings:
As someone who never leaves the house without a book, and who would carry freshly brewed tea everywhere if it were sensible or possible (a handbag teapot? Someone invent one please!) Cory's designs are really appealing. There's also a Coryographies blog where you can read more...
