What will your future bring?



Now you can send someone who needs a wonderfully uplifting gift of fortune with a Fine Silver Fortune Cookie! I offer various options, sold just as a cookie charm or on a keyring, bracelet, bangle, necklace options, along with finishing touches like a pearl or gemstone for further positive energy. This new design will bring someone luck, love, wealth, health or whatever you feel that person you love needs for their future with your personalised message..... Each cookie (not recommended for consumption) comes with a message, as shown above, printed on paper and is beautifully packaged in a gift box tied with ribbon.
These will be available on my website from September and is available now on NOTHS.

Doodles in Silver



At least once a month we have Yum Cha (Chinese dim sim) at our favourite restaurant in Canton and always pack some drawing materials for the kids to doodle on the throwaway paper table cloth. The last time we went Laura drew this really lovely bird (top) so I ripped it off and decided to transform it into a Silver bookmark for her Grandfather, whom we call Poppi. I thought it would be nice to personalise it further with a message of love from his two beautiful grand-daughters. We presented it upon his long awaited arrived recently from Sydney, as they are spending the Summer with us to help in Italy, and he was really moved, and also curious (ever the Engineer) as to how I managed to make it. Mum wants all the grand-kids names in the shabby hearts instead.
Judging from my friends responses, they will be a real hit! I was so pleased with the result, I have decided to start selling them on my website when I return from my working holiday in the September so I can take orders in time for Christmas. I know from my own experience, the deluge of drawings the kids product during their precious early years, we can't keep them all, that there is always a special one that really captures your heart and you would love to keep, but then it gets lost or coffee split on it or ripped and scrunched and the treasured drawing is lost. This way, it can be encapsulated to be treasured forever as a lovely AND useful keepsake. You can of course also capture their first attempt to write their name or whatever you so wish, add a date, message, the possibilities are endless. I already have orders from friends who I always run new designs by, and they are now scouring their kids keepsake draws for their favourite art piece.
The bookmark weights approx 5-6 grams of solid .999 Fine Silver, measures approx 60mm x 15mm and will cost £69 and can also be made into a keyring +£12. You need to do, is find that special drawing, make a copy with thick black ink on white paper, scan it and email it to me at sales@melindamulcahy.com with your message and I will do the rest.

Customer's at their very best

I was so surprised and heart-warmed to receive this note, I thought I would share this with my readers.
Thank you so much Caroline & John. This kind gesture has moved me deeply. And, got me thinking; Yup, "Kelly Rocks!" Love the Phonics!
I'm just waiting for Kelly Jones to knock my door and collect his plectrum.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so very much!

i LOVE this postcard


A customer asked for this wording (above) and it really struck a cord! I am also getting loads of requests for co-ordinates (below) which I think might be Serbian??
