Your great aunt!! I've seen her work many times on the Tadema Gallery website - she was such an important contributor to the Arts & Crafts movement. How wonderful to have that history in your family!
Ok, believe it or not: I know a couple who used to work in advertising who gave it all up to be truck drivers! They take fab trips, only work when they want and seem to have a super fab life 🚚!
Such is life. I am still researching her life and work but finding out about Artists and designers is so much harder than medicine where we have the all encompassing Index Medicus to use. Thanks for the interest and lovely pieces of jewellery David
Absolutely I stayed with her but unfortunately it wasn't till she had died that I learnt about her work I wished I could have known to ask more about her work and life then.
Oh, I'm sorry. But at least you did get to know her, and you can appreciate her work now. She was so enormously talented. I'll keep an eye out for her pieces in the future and if I come across any I'll be sure to feature them here!
You can only become a truck driver if you promise to keep writing this magnificent newsletter. xo
Aw, thanks Gwyn. <3
I love this newsletter; it always makes me smile and/or lol, as well as want to drop money I don't have on gorgeous and unique jewelry.
I hope you're able to continue writing it because your work is greatly appreciated. :)
Thanks, Steph!
I may be a little biased but I love the work of my Great Aunt Dorrie Nossiter https://www.dorrienossiter.co.uk/ and via pinterest https://www.pinterest.co.uk/search/pins/?q=Dorrie%20Nossiter&rs=typed Best wishes David

Great issue! I believe I had a version of that Octopus as an actual toothbrush in 1972.
It did look weirdly familiar.
I love that brooch! Bam!
ALSO I imagine Pattie Boyd was like "lol time to cash out"
RIGHT?!??! Go Pattie! Get that bag!
The vulture and fox! And the octopus! Not to mention the hourglass...
I love that vulture so much it's borderline weird.
Don’t become a truck driver. I love your writing and taste.
Aw, thank you. I'm really glad to hear that.

Her work's amazing!
Hie I need buyers of Gemstones dearest
would give it all up for that snake and pearl necklace...
So fun scrolling through the Pattie Boyd collection. Thanks for that.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, too! Fascinating little mini-tour through her life.
