I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. I also wanted to introduce you to the CEOs of the business. As you know, Im the President of Fiona & The Fig. But I wanted to introduce you to the other people who help run this business. Meet Toby, he is the manager of shipping.

It will be a while before I can get more charms made, again. Sigmund is keeping me busy. Being a Great Dane with a broken leg is not easy. He had a rough week and is in a lot of pain and swollen.

16/06/2017

Finally finished this batch of charms, will get them posted today.

Seems like every time I post, there is a problem with Sigmund...and this time, it's a big one. He got out of the gate and bolted into traffic. He has a broken leg. He has always been a difficult child and he has never listened, well, this time it got him into a lot of trouble. He has to have this cast on for the next two weeks.

Send well wishes for Sigmund, he can surely use them.

It's been a while since I made some broken china charms, so this week, I made a ton of them. They will be in my shop, soon.

The good news is that Sigmund is all healed up. I've been busy making charms, come to my shop and take a peek.

19/03/2017

It's been a busy week here. Sigmund hurt himself. He had to have stitches. While he was resting, I kept him company by making charms. He's on the mend, but had to have 8 stitches. He's wearing a Thunder Shirt...he's not happy. :(

My 2 boys, Alfie and Sigmund, enjoying the snow.

It is a cold day here in New York...so what's to do? Make charms of course.

24/02/2017

I just designed a piece of glass and ordered 2,000 pieces! I can't wait to make charms with this new shape!

21/02/2017

Posting some new charms, today. One of them, is this beautiful, Victorian charm. It is made from an old trading card.

Just reached a new goal on Etsy, 3,700 sales! Thank You!!!

Well, finally I got around to posting a few more charms in my shop. I've been busy with a very sick "little" boy. Alfie, my Great Dane has been at the Vet's office. Gum biopsy, blood work, and medications. I will know more tomorrow, after the test results come back. He has gained a lot of weight lately and that was a sign that things were not right. Even for a Great Dane, 207 pounds, is a LOT of weight!

Order shipments were slow today, as the shipping manager was sick. :(

This antique lace charm is on it's way to France.

I've been very busy making lots and lots of charms. I have some new ideas coming soon!

08/01/2015

I love making tiny collages. I collect all sorts of "findings" and place them between 2 pieces of glass and then solder them. This one has a Victorian sewing theme.

04/01/2015

It's a cold and rainy night here in New York...what is the weather like where you are?

03/01/2015

Did you know that I now offer FREE shipping on all orders and a FREE gift...I've stitched up oodles of these little jewelry envelopes, there is one per customer...they are softly lined and made with a delightful fabric.

02/01/2015

What does solder, broken china and a rubber stamp have in common? I've always wanted to try embossing hot solder, so I'm going to finally give a try...I'll post results soon.

01/01/2015

THANK YOU to everyone, who helped me reach a goal of 3,600 sales!!!!

How will you spend New Year's Eve? I think I will have a quiet one and spend it with the boys.

29/12/2014

I'd like for you to meet the staff here at Fiona & The Fig. Today, I'm introducing the manager of our shipping department. This is Toby. I'll be honest...he does a lot of sitting on the job and recently, I've thought about firing him. I'm constantly having to pick up the slack when it comes to getting orders shipped out on time. Plus he is constantly eating on the job!

Rarely, do I make a charm for just myself. But, when I came across this beautiful, Victorian tintype, I decided to do just that. I used a page from an antique French book, dated from 1845, some old postage stamps and heart shaped glass...this is what I designed. I just love her pout.
