The start of an exciting new year in my studio

Home from a beautiful week in Melbourne inspired to start a wonderful creative new year in my studio....Working on ranges for shops, sourcing cool new things for my atelier and working with a gorgeous and extremely talented designer in the US on some jewellery (very exciting)..  Kirstie and I will be collaborating on some fun jewellery as well (designed by 1928 & Co.) as I am sure you have seen already.  A beautiful new camera will hopefully add some other exciting pursuits to my range this year all going well.  Please if you have time go and like my facebook book page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cathy-Penton-Atelier/149497401804742) which will keep you up to date on what is happening....A give away is coming soon :).... Have a blessed week....

Inspirations in glass - where it all began....

Had a beautiful email from my dear friend Elizabeth this morning...I always get very excited when I see her name on my email list.... She is one of the most talented photographers and writers that inspires me so very much with everything she does....Just over 6 years ago now she took a risk on an unknown charm designer from the other side of the world (me) and used my charms as props in a beautiful valentines article of Romantic Homes magazine.  We had only been emailing for a few months and she had seen my work and thought it would be right for what she wanted and since then our friendship has  been such a wonderful support to me through opening my shop and leaving the partnership, to starting over.  Chatting about our new adventures and what the future creatively will hold for us.... Looking back and reminiscing this morning helps me to get excited about the future and what blessings we all really have through friendship and connection with like minded people....

Thank you my dear Elizabeth Maxson for being such a beautiful creative soul and such a dear friend to me.....I have set up a pinterest  page dedicated to just a small amount of Elizabeth gorgeous photography.....
