  • Wearing Six....to dinner in Wearing Six, All Blog Posts, Our Products
    29 Mar 2012

    This is a very quick post - running out to dinner with friends in 10 minutes.

    I decided to wear my beautiful silk Stephanie Vandaros top. Check her out here - we found her at Mosman Markets and her designs are lovely. This top can be worn in a variety of ways and it feel gorgeous on.

    But I felt like wearing something new from Six in a Row.

    We have been working with a new design, which has been selling out at each event we have taken it to. It is a very long necklace made with our little "seed" beads in a range of delicious colour combinations. I made this charcoal and navy one to come out to dinner with me tonight. We haven't posted any photos of it until now, so we hope you like it.

    Bon appetit!

  • Wearing Six @ Canberra Handmade Market in March in Markets and Events, Wearing Six, All Blog Posts, Our Products
    22 Mar 2012

    A little twist on our "Wearing Six" posts.

    At our markets we like to change our beads through out the day to show our necklaces, bracelets and bangles in action. It is a little bit like channelling Diana Ross in concert, with more "wardrobe" changes than is completely necessary.

    Here a series of photos we took at the recent Canberra Handmade Market in March.

    We'll be back in Canberra for the Handmade Market on 9 and 10 June.

  • Is there such a thing as too much cream? in All Blog Posts, Our Products
    10 Oct 2011

    We would say you can never have too much cream on a warm scone, and we would also say you can never have too much cream in your bead collection.

    It is the perfect colour to go with almost everything in a wardrobe.

    But I must admit, I was a little shocked by just how many cream necklaces have found their way into my personal collection. And the sign that I may really have a problem is that I can't see that this is a problem!

    Lucky for our customers, we have a rainbow of colours we love too. Just wait until you see the new colours we are going to be working with. A post will follow soon.

  • New pieces for PLC Pymble Garden Party - Saturday 17 September in Markets and Events, All Blog Posts, Our Products
    15 Sep 2011

    We thought there was room for a few more wooden pieces in our collection, so we have been making some new necklaces for summer. They are light and lovely to wear and are all a little different. Some are pure wood, while others are a mix of resin and wooden beads.

     

    We have also expanded on our popular bracelets by creating a new range with a little touch of silver. 

     

    These pieces will be having their debut at the PLC Pymble Garden Party this weekend.

     

    Details for the PLC Garden Party are:

     

    Date - Saturday 17 September

    Time - 10.00am to 3.00pm

    Where - PLC Pymble

     

    All members of the wider community are invited to join the Pymble community at the College's annual Garden Party. Come and enjoy a day of family fun with food, entertainment, games, produce, craft, rides and much more.

     

    Regards

  • Cream and crafty crochet in Wearing Six, All Blog Posts, Our Products
    20 Jul 2011

    It is a miserable day in Sydney today. Rain and wind and a strong desire to stay inside with a pot of tea and caramel slice.

    To help ward off the cold I reached for a beautiful soft jumper my sister "reinvented" with some very fine and beautiful crochet work. It is soft and warm and I didn't want today's beads to steal the show. So I added a collection of three of Six in a Row's cream "seed"  necklaces to go with it.

     If you can, stay warm. And don't forget the caramel slice.

    We love this market and have waxed lyrical about it before - great location, beautiful stalls, excellent organisation and great people.

    As the temperatures drop, we have been making lots of lovely new pieces that work with wintery coats and scarves, and layer dressing. We have also introduced some new colours that work beautifully with what we are seeing our clients wearing.

  • Beautiful New Children's Range - Hearts and Owls in All Blog Posts, Our Products, Six Stockists
    27 Mar 2011

    When we found these porcelain hearts and owls we knew they were made for us. They work so beautifully with our resin beads and add a delightful detail to our children's range of necklaces and bracelets.

    You can find them at Buddy Babe (92 Ramsay Road, Haberfield, NSW) and we will be sending a collection to Shop Handmade Canberra this week.

    If you can't make it to any of these stores, please drop us a line if you are interested in them. Necklaces are $16 and bracelets $8.

  • Introducing new autumn colour - children's range in All Blog Posts, Our Products, Six Stockists
    14 Mar 2011

    The promise of autumn and winter has brought new colour inspiration. We are adding a more subtle palette into both our children's and women's "Brights" range. Think dove grey, plum, peach, and blush pink beads.

    We are detailing the children's necklaces ($16) and bracelets ($8) with rich velvet ribbons that remind us of party dresses when we were 6year old.

    In addition to these softer colours, our signature bright colours remain, and we have added some completely delicious new colours to this box of tricks.

    You can find these lovely new beads at:

    - Buddy Babe in Haberfield, NSW
    - Shop Handmade Canberra, ACT - from next week
    - The Holy Family Art Festival - 19 March. Corner of Highfield Road and the Pacific Hwy, Lindfield, NSW; or
    - by clicking her to drop us a message and ordering.

    Now, off to make some necklaces for Shop Handmade......

  • A cluster of beautiful beads in All Blog Posts, Our Products
    23 Feb 2011

    We have been doing lots of experimenting with our knotting of beads and have come up with beautiful and interesting pieces.

    This photo shows a lovely cluster of cream beads with ice blue and coral accents. We have strung these bundles on cord with a double sliding knot so you can adjust the height of the bead cluster to the perfect spot to suit you.

    These new pieces had their first outing at Handmade Market Canberra in February and proved to be so popular that we will be making more in a range of colours and combinations.

  • Black Choker in Wearing Six, All Blog Posts, Our Products
    8 Oct 2010

    We just made a piece for a client (that sounds a bit too formal - actually Zan's brother's partner!). The brief was "simple choker style and black".

    I have to admit that I had a creative hurdle to leap before I could sit down and play with the beads to make it. Chokers are not a style either of us have worn....but after this, that may have changed. This style works particularly well if you prefer to wear a higher neckline.

    I channeled my inner Queen Victoria and I ended up making three versions for her to choose from. Although they may look similar, each is a little different - different stringing material, bead size, length etc.

    And the feed back is she loves them all and they have all been packed for a trip to Europe. We wish we were with them.

  • Thank you PLC - Summer Colours in Markets and Events, All Blog Posts, Our Products
    22 Sep 2010

    We had a lovely day at the PLC Garden Party last Saturday. Spring was in the air.

    This was our second time at the PLC Garden Party and we were quite busy. Although we tried to thank people on the day, we wanted to thank the repeat customers who gave us some gorgeous feedback, and the patient people who waited when we were rushed and couldn't get to them quickly

    We love setting up our stall at each market and try to improve it each time. On Saturday Emma had a bit of fun styling our mannequins with some colour for summer. These small bead necklaces have proved very popular and are easy to wear.

    We are grateful to have a market free weekend this weekend. A bit of time to recharge and restock, ready for Mosman Market on Saturday 2 October.

  • Resin and Silver Earrings in All Blog Posts, Our Products
    29 Aug 2010

    We are very happy to announce that Six in a Row are now creating earrings.

    The earrings are designed to compliment our necklaces and bracelets and come in a wide range of colours - gelato pastels, creams, crystal clears, turquoise, red, white, icy blues and "vintage" green. And we only use sterling silver findings in our earrings.

    I snapped these photos at a market over the weekend - not the same high standards of the beautiful professional photos on our webpage by Mel Birt (www.melaniebirtphotography.com.au ), but they hopefully give you an idea of how they look!
