Quietness on the blog front has not meant quietness for Six in a Row.

Although we haven't had many "public" events lately, we have been been very busy taking part in a range of charity and fundraising events.

We love this side of Six - it gives us the opportunity to help, in our own small way, to help raise funds for great causes.

Please don't think we are the super women who organise these things. We take our hats off to those clever, caring, motivated women who organise these events. You are all inspirational. Thank you for asking us to be a part of them.

Merry Christmas in About Six, All Blog Posts, Six Stockists
22 Dec 2010

There has been a flurry of activity for Six in a Row in the lead up to Christmas.

And as we pause to draw breathe, we want to thank all our beautiful customers and supporters. We have loved designing and making jewellery for you and your friends and your families and your school and your shops.

Thank you to all our customers through out the year. We have loved creating for you and the generous feedback you provide has given us so much energy and inspiration.

We also know many Six gifts have been carefully chosen to place under your Christmas tree or into stockings. We hope that these gifts are loved and worn and that people think of you when they wear their piece.

We would also like to thank the shops that have been with us while we have tentatively put our retail toes into the water - The National Portrait Gallery Store, Shop Handmade and Buddy Babe, thank you for taking our products - we are so pleased that they have been so warmly received.

We will be taking a short break until 10 January to rest our beading fingers, but will be back next year with beautiful new designs and ideas for 2011. We can't wait to show them to you.

Until then, we trust you have a happy Christmas and we are looking forward to seeing you next year.

Susannah and Emma

Thank you and a few questions answered in About Six, Markets and Events, Upcoming Events, All Blog Posts

Since we launched our web page and blog earlier this week, we have been overwhelmed by the emails, posts and requests to join our e-updates. Thank you, thank you, thank you to each and every one of you. Your support and response to our jewellery and website has been wonderful and we really appreciate it.

We could easily sit back and warm our hands on the glow of that feeling but we don't have time - we have to get busy making more jewellery for you.

Before we do, we thought we should respond to the excellent questions we have received.

Q&A

1. Do you have a schedule of events?

We have listed the dates we currently have booked for public events below. We will update this table over the rest of the year as it is a moving feast of dates.

2. Do you ship internationally?

Yes we do post internationally. Once we have our online shop functioning this process will be very simple. Until then, we can discuss cost and process with you. We know of many of our women's necklaces and children's collection that have been sent overseas as gifts - apparently our jewellery, like us, likes to travel.

3. What is the price range of your jewellery?

We have worked very hard to ensure that our jewellery is priced in a way that allows you to buy a high quality treat for yourself, friends or children without guilt.

To give you a rough idea:

Women's necklaces - range from $20 to $55
Women's earrings - $18
Women's bangles - range from $12 to $25
Women's brooches - range from $25 to $40
Children's bright ranges - range from $8 to $16
Children's felt - $25

4. When will you be in Canberra?

We visit Canberra every quarter for the Canberra Handmade Market. The next market will be on Saturday 11 September.

5. Will Six in a Row come to Wollongong?

Never say never, but we don't currently have plans to bring Six to Wollongong. We will keep you posted if this changes and thank you for the interest.

Welcome to our Six in a Row blog.

As this is our first entry, it makes sense to give you some information about Six in Row and what we are about.

We (Emma and Susannah) have known each other since we were 12. We later bonded over the solace the school art room provided us. Both of us are products of creative families that have given us the legacy of wanting to make, create and surround ourselves with beautiful and interesting things.

With the arrival of each of our youngest children, we were both looking for something creative that would provide us with an outlet, drawing on our frustrated "inner artists" but also using the corporate skills we had collected over the years.

Six in a Row has given life to this idea.

We are both wearers of accessories, updating an outfit or our jeans and t-shirt uniform with beads, so that we felt a little bit lovelier. And really, from that concept we have developed our own range of beautiful wooden and resin jewellery.

With each piece we make (and we actually make each piece by hand ourselves) we ask ourselves "is this lovely" or we picture a friend and make something we think would suit them. Although we watch fashion and trends, we are not looking to create cutting edge fashion statements. Instead we want to create beautiful, wearable and timeless jewellery for women and children - things you can add to your wardrobe and hopefully feel a little bit lovelier too.

We hope you enjoy our blog and our website (www.sixinarow.com.au).
