Spring Birthday Celebrations

April 17, 2013 Charlotte No comments

On my birthday last week I ran a special offer on my Facebook page Charlotte Hupfield Ceramics (where you’ll always find plenty of offers, prizes and giveaways!), all orders placed on my birthday would receive a special treat: one of my handmade ceramic magnets, a brooch AND a card! I was overwhelmed by the response and spent most of Friday morning packing up complimentary goodies to send out with orders. Yay!

My birthday was a lovely sunny spring day where I visited my favourite local farm shop with friends and enjoyed toasted hot cross buns with hot chocolate, and plenty of cream! My friends baby, Ellie, joined us and we had lots of fun watching the free range chickens.

I really don’t feel 26!

I also spent the morning riding Dizzy – a new addition to my life at the moment. Isn’t she gorgeous? She’s always full of energy, keeping me on my toes!

More new work will be underway very soon, but until then, have you seen the latest collection in my online shop? Happy browsing!

Stocking Fillers

December 20, 2010 Charlotte 1 Comment

I can’t believe Christmas day is in 5 days! So much has been going on here, I haven’t had the chance to think how close Christmas is…

Have you finished your Christmas shopping? I still have a few stocking fillers left to buy. If you are stuck for last minute ideas perhaps I could tempt you into my shop for some lovingly handmade items? Here are a few of my available stocking fillers that were added to my shop last week, but hurry, today is the last day for posting if the items needs to reach you in time for Christmas!

Bits & Bobs

June 15, 2010 Charlotte 3 Comments

I don’t like throwing things away that I can still get use out of, especially scraps of clay. If there are ever any scraps left over from trimming etc, I usually wedge all of this clay together, roll it out again as a new sheet, and cut small shapes out of it. These shapes soon build up and then go on to form my magnets, brooches and buttons.

The contents of this basket above are always changing. I always display it on the front of my table at craft fairs with a sign saying “Feel free to rummage” – and people do just that! My magnets are good sellers, often customers will buy a few with a larger item, as if they are taking extra little bits of decoration away with them. They are also good sellers for children, as are my brooches…

This selection of handmade ceramic brooches below are part of my ‘Stroll Along the Beach’ collection.

To cater more for gift ideas, I decided to wrap a selection of 3 different magnets together with a personalised card, and my sticker on the front. This set of Natural Brown Magnets is my favourite.
