Love From Hetty & Dave: My Top 5!

Love from Hetty & Dave: Top 5! All Pictures from their Website
Hello Lovelies!

Time for another 'Top Picks' feature and today I'm bringing you 5 gorgeous pieces from Love From Hetty & Dave!

This gorgeous Label is the creation of Zoe Larkin, a Silver Smithing graduate from the Kent Institute of Art and Design.

These beautiful pieces are loving hand-stitched by Zoe and made from Leather. 

Zoe is based in Bournemouth so if you're ever in the area why not pop into her lovely Studio/Shop? 

(864 Christchurch Road - in case you wanted to know!)

So, on to my favourite items! I had great difficulty selecting just 5 but I am a bit OCD about following my '5 Picks'/'7 Picks' formula so today its 5!

I nearly did a feature on just the gorgeous Brooches but then I was so drawn to several of the necklaces so I just had to do a mixture!

All so Lovely *sigh*
Lets have a look in more detail...




First up, the Juicy Watermelon necklace! Why? Becuase 'I carried a Watermelon' might just be my FAVOURITE line from a movie. Ever. (If it's second to anything then it's 'Nobody put's Baby in a corner'!) For those of you that are not fan's of the Iconic Movie, Dirty Dancing - please leave my Blog immediately, this is no place for you. Seriously. *waves bye bye* Right then, back to the Necklace! 

It's Metallic Pink and Green for starters. I do love my bright colours and Metallics are one of those recurring trends that you just can't go wrong with! It's on an 18 inch gold coloured chain and a priced at £14. Plus, it's probably as close to feeling tropical as you're going to get this summer so brighten up those gloomy days with this fun piece! Matching Earrings are also available and, If you're lucky enough to be local you can even go along to a workshop and learn to make them yourself! Details Here

Juicy Watermelon Necklace £14

Next, I've chosen the Brown Owl Necklace. I have a bit of a soft spot for all things Owly and Foxy and Love From Hetty & Dave does not disappoint! Also priced at £14 this little guy features Metallic leather eyes and beak and bead detailing on the eyes. If the Necklace isn't for you then check out the matching brooch..Oooh!

Brown Owl Necklace £14

This next piece has returned to the website by popular demand! The Acorn Necklace is a real statement piece. I know it isn't very Spring/Summer but I'm a real sucker for that English Heritage look, tweed blazers, brown ankle boots and such, hence why I love this necklace. Also, look at that Green and tell me it's not stunning?! I mean really! This piece is £20 and hangs on a 30 inch chain. A matching Acorn Brooch is also available.

Sticking with the Heritage them, I'm totally in love with this Flying Duck  Brooch. There's that green again! I love the detail on this piece, it really is a work of art. I have a gorgeous Navy Blue tweed blazer which is crying out for this brooch! The description cracks me up as well 'Tactile and Squashy', Brilliant! This characterful piece can be yours for £16 - If anyone would like to buy me one, go right ahead! Also in this style is a Necklace, a Keyring and some super-duper Wall Art. I'll have one of everything please, thanks!

Now then, this fabulous Brooch I have saved until last. If you want Pink, Kitsch and downright Quirky this Pink Flamingo Brooch is for you. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland and the Pink Ladies from Grease is equal measure! Very 1950's, very Whimsical and Utterly Charming, he is described as 'Squishy with a bendy neck and long floppy legs'! I don't think I need to say much else! Mr Flamingo (in my head it's male and I have no information to the contrary!) is £16 and I think he deserves a happy home, with you - In wonderland.

So there you have it, My top 5 from Love From Hetty & Dave! If you check out the website you'll also find Shoes, Handbags and other Accessories which are all gorgeous! 

Next time on 'Top Picks' I'll be looking at 7 of the best Stud Earrings from Ji Ji Kiki - Don't miss it!
