LollaMac<p>I'll be back in the studio tomorrow, catching up on your orders and making a start on a new collection for autumn. In the meantime, there's just time for one last wander, and maybe coffee &amp; cake before heading to the airport. See you all soon!</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Budapest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Budapest</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hungary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hungary</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>Last day of our Hungarian holiday, and we're back in Budapest after a few noisy, windy, sunny, dusty and fun filled days at the race track. We treated ourselves to a room with a view for our final night and it didn't disappoint!🧡</p><p>We only had time for a whistle stop wander around Castle Hill yesterday, but it's certainly left us with plenty of reason to come back again. </p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Budapest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Budapest</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hungary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hungary</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>* Ring Making Workshop spaces available due to cancellation *</p><p>I've got two places become available for ring making on Saturday 6th September. These are the only two Saturday ring making places available for the rest of this year so I expect they may go quickly! They have not yet gone back online, so if you want to make them yours please message me and we'll get you sorted.</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/workshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workshop</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>New Bloom rings: Gorgeous on their own, even better as a bunch. 🌸🌼🌸 It took all my restraint to leave these behind on the shop shelves and not smuggle them into the suitcase for my holiday! It's safe to say that I'm a little bit in love with them. If you feel the same way then you're in luck as they are now listed on my website! ☺️🌸</p><p><a href="https://www.lollamac.co.uk/item-category/lollamac-jewellery-collection/rings/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">lollamac.co.uk/item-category/l</span><span class="invisible">ollamac-jewellery-collection/rings/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/silver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>silver</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/jewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jewellery</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/rings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rings</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>A sight that's not seen very often so thought it deserved some celebration</p><p>Tools are now officially downed (apart from a workshop this afternoon) and the bench has received a VERY much overdue tidy up! I'm sure that post-holiday me will be very grateful to today me for making such an effort. Until obviously she can't find that one little perfect bit of offcut that hung around for ages just in case and has now become of vital importance… 😆</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandmadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HandmadeUK</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>I do love it when a chap comes into the shop with an idea for a commission he'd like making for his wife and trusts me to bring it to life. Even more so when that chap later sends me a photo of his wife wearing said commission and telling me how much she loves them! And EVEN MORE so, when that wife then comes into the shop wearing said commission to tell me herself how much she loves them. 🥰 </p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandmadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HandmadeUK</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/silver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>silver</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/jewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jewellery</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>MrMac and I will be heading off for our summer holiday next week (I thought the time would never come!). That means you've got until Thursday evening to place any online orders to guarantee they are processed and dispatched before we leave. Any orders placed after this time won't be dealt with until the 27th August. </p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandmadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HandmadeUK</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/jewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jewellery</span></a></p>

LollaMac<p>It is always good to get feedback from our customers:<br>"We had such a poignant return visit to the tree since it was felled, still such a beautiful and magical place and the day ended with a very special gift from my husband. A piece of your sycamore jewellery I will treasure it always and thank you for making such simple but meaningful pieces of art. xxx"</p><p><a href="https://www.lollamac.co.uk/item-category/lollamac-jewellery-collection/collections/northumbrian-forests/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">lollamac.co.uk/item-category/l</span><span class="invisible">ollamac-jewellery-collection/collections/northumbrian-forests/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandmadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HandmadeUK</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/SycamoreGap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SycamoreGap</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HadriansWall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HadriansWall</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/silver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>silver</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/copper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>copper</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/jewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jewellery</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>Each session is completely hands on, meaning you get to experience each and every step involved in the jewellery making process yourself, though of course I'm there every step of the way to guide you and lend an extra pair of hands if you ever need it. They are also a LOT of fun! Whether you come as a group, a pair or on your own, there's always plenty of laughs, encouragement and "oooo, let's see yours, wow, they are amazing"s all the way through. 🤗</p><p>(2/3)</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/workshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workshop</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>"I'll warn you now, I'm not at all crafty or creative, so you're gonna have your work but out with me" (or words to that effect). </p><p>This is the most common greeting I get when people arrive for my jewellery making workshops! And yet this is just a selection of the fabulous jewellery made over the past few weeks by these (mostly!) apparently uncreative people. I'd say they did pretty blummin' marvellously, wouldn't you?! 🤩</p><p>(1/n)</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/jewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jewellery</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/workshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workshop</span></a></p>

LollaMac<p>Newness! 🌸 I thought it was about time I added some more rings to my offering, and the pretty Bloom ring has been asking to be made for far too long. I love how it's turned out, and the adjustable ring band means not only is it super easy to get a good fit, but you can 'ring' the changes by wearing it on different fingers too! </p><p>(1/2)</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/HandmadeUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HandmadeUK</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/jewellery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jewellery</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/silver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>silver</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/rings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rings</span></a></p>

LollaMac<p>I was fixing a couple of chains yesterday and found a few lengths that were too short for necklaces but too long to just scrap. What to do? Bracelets of course! Just these three, but if they go well I'll definitely make some more. The circle link style is online but the other two aren't, so just get in touch if you want to give one a home. </p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Northumberland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Northumberland</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/bracelet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bracelet</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/silver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>silver</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>Anyhoo… for anyone who didn't see it (or if you need a reminder!), for the rest of this month and throughout August, we're donating 25% of all sales from the Paw Print collection to the Thin Blue Paw for the amazing work they do in supporting former working Police Dogs, such as our very own Ivan, in their retirement.</p><p>So for example, your purchase of this rather lovely and chunky sterling silver pendant would result in a donation of £18 from us to this very special cause.</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/ThinBluePaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThinBluePaw</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>We hope that not only will we raise a nice sum of money, but that we can also help raise awareness of this amazing organisation and secure its future to help even more dogs like me.</p><p>Shop in-store or online at www.lollamac.co.uk to help support my fundraising, while also buying yourself some fabulous paw print jewellery. 🐾🐾🐾</p><p>Big snuggles, <br>Ivan xx</p><p>(6/6)</p><p><a href="https://www.lollamac.co.uk/item-category/lollamac-jewellery-collection/collections/dog_paw_print_jewellery/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">lollamac.co.uk/item-category/l</span><span class="invisible">ollamac-jewellery-collection/collections/dog_paw_print_jewellery/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/ThinBluePaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThinBluePaw</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DogsOfMastodon</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>Without the help of the Thin Blue Paw, many former working dogs like me would struggle to find new homes as the risk of health problems in later life would be too great. </p><p>So, with the help of my Mam, I've decided to do something special to celebrate my birthday this year, and give something back. From now until the end of August, my Mam will donate 25% from the sales of her Paw Print collection to the Thin Blue Paw. 🐾</p><p>(5/n)</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/ThinBluePaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThinBluePaw</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DogsOfMastodon</span></a></p>
LollaMac<p>Thankfully, a fantastic charity called the Thin Blue Paw exists to offer financial support with vet bills to people who own retired police dogs. My Mam and Dad have been very grateful for this, as I've also got problems with my shoulders, as well as having a previously broken tooth, and have proved to be quite an expensive addition to the family. 😳</p><p>(4/n)</p><p><a href="https://handmade.social/tags/LollaMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LollaMac</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/Hexham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hexham</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/ThinBluePaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThinBluePaw</span></a> <a href="https://handmade.social/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DogsOfMastodon</span></a></p>
