Just wanted to write a line about these here.
Popped over to check out the Leith shop for the first time today and was really impressed by the range and quality of these wee trinkets. There's a very talented young lady there (forgot to ask her name! gah!) who makes some, and another who supplies some to the shop, who delivers a new batch every Friday. Every one is different and they're made with beads, semi precious stones and all manner of charms that dangle from your battery.
They come in a lovely little gift bag and are very reasonably priced. Would be great as a gift. I got two for myself and I'm really pleased with them. One has a blue speckled stone in a 6 sided pyramid shape with silver metal turtle, starfish and seashell charms. The other is a circle of tiny rainbow coloured beads with a silver metal tree charm hanging at it's centre and a little silver bird hanging from the bottom of the bead circle. They really are lovely!
I would post some pics if my camera was working! They said there will be some pics on their website coming soon.
I couldn't get the other stuff I wanted from the shop today, but found the staff to be really helpful and the shop welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be going back
If ever my camera sorts itself out I will post pics of my lovely two charms.
Hope someone finds this useful

PS Nearly forgot - they do lovely beaded lanyards aswell. Will be looking into these too at a later date
(Oh and btw, I have nothing to do with the shop! Just went there for first time today!)

As promised, (and if I can work out how to do this) here's some pics of my charms. The gift bag Blue stone charm Tree charm Tree charm on vision spinner And a wider shot to give some ideas of size Despite the colour in these pics, the charms are silver in colour not gold - that's just my kitchen light lol And apologies for the blurriness, I should have got the tripod out but was too impatient! Anyway, hope that gives you some idea.

You can Karma, yes. When I spoke to the lass in the shop about them, she said they had previously put up pictures of the kind of things they had for sale, on their website, and they'd sold out really fast online - which posed them a bit of a problem, as the pieces they make are all different! She said they hoped to be putting more pictures up soon and getting a bit more organised, but in the meantime, if someone wants something special done they can drop them an email. The ones I got cost £4.95 each, if I remember right, but there were larger/different ones that were a bit more, depending on the stones used etc. Best thing, if you're interested, is give them a call or drop a line I would think. As I write this, I'm wondering if I could maybe help them out with some photos but I think I need practice first! Not touched my camera in years before this! Hope this helps
