Hi guys and hoping you're all doing well. So here's another delayed Blog. It's not that Crystal Heart life has got boring, but that I've been spending much more time working IN the shop !
We've begun to receive our first orders from overseas since the silver price explosion and for items like chains which are only silver it's every bit as bad as expected - and it's not like we're all feeling prosperous right now ! So I've done the only thing I can (short of buying a Silver Mine LOL ) and reduced my margins as much as I can.
With Silver and Stones it's a bit different as the gemstones have ...
Hi everyone and hope you're all doing well. Again I apologise for the long wait between posts. On the plus side it seems I've just shaken off the after effects of Chemo so I'm able to spend a lot more time in the Shop which has been a lovely re connection with my customers and a new found understanding of what we're all about. An oasis of peace in the commercial whirlwind. As true now as it was when I wrote it back in 1990 !
As always the serendipitous Universe responded - as soon as I'd recovered my strength then Leah our manager and mainstay for 10 years resigned to focus on her burgeoni...
Hi Everyone and hope you're all doing well. Before I retire to sleep early ( Melbourne fireworks last year were a huge disappointment ) I just wanted to wish you all a Healthy Happy and Prosperous New Year.
I feel it's going to be a good one. It's an opportunity to move upwards and inwards, be more centred and transcend old limitations. I know 2025 has been a tough one for so many but that's all in the past now. Sage your rooms, bang drums and cymbals, Start 2026 Laughing !!!!
Love to all and thanks from the Heart. Your support made 2025 bearable.
Hi Everyone and I hope you're all doing well. All's good here and I'm really excited about the latest shipment from Paul - I thought we were well stocked already but our shelves just soaked up his offerings like blotting paper.
To those who don't know Paul's an old friend of 30 years standing and over the years he's built up amazing contacts for top quality stones at very reasonable prices. Although he no longer visits the mines or hangs around for weeks to negotiate a bargain, still those contacts are worth their weight in gold in this business. Furthermore his Silver workshops in Indonesi...
Hi Everyone and hope you're all feeling well. After beating cancer earlier in the year I felt so much better and ordered heaps of new jewellery. Then I had my first ever experience of Shingles which laid me out for another month ! That finally persuaded me to do a series of meditations to repel any negative energies being directed at me, including cutting bonds. Rather than focusing on being positive, I just threw out the negativity and I feel so much better now. I know this is pretty basic stuff, but we all need reminders sometime.
I had reordered some very popular styles, especially the ...
Hi Everyone and hoping you are all well. After the horrible shock of the lump coming back to life I'm happy to say that my intensive methods paid dividends, in fact leaving the opthamologist speechless at the follow-up appointment when he realised that the lump had reduced to less than it was after the radiotherapy last year. So now I feel really free and have thrown myself into ordering new stock. There's a lot of jewellery just arrived and more being made, plus lots more lovely crystals. We also got in some nice candles, ideal for gifts, available in the shop.
It just seems that with the ...
