After having a forced week off work, I am back to work and full of the joy’s of Spring. Fully rested and on the mend 😃 We found out a few weeks ago that we are finalists for the Welsh Independent Retail Awards 2019 which we are chuffed to bits about.

Managed to make a quick silver bangle to help a customer with an urgent birthday...

22nd February 2019 Beautiful sunny and busy day in Llandeilo today, almost seems a shame to be working.

Oh and a lot of chatting to friends and customers and drinking tea ; ) I made quite a few spoons as an apprentice many moons ago, but we use to have to hand forge them out of square heavy section wire. This was to practice our forging and finishing skills, making a modern style spoon is certainly a...
