The Berylune Blog

Zoë sat down to have a wee read of her new copy of Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine this week, and imagine her surprise when she found us mentioned?


They seem to like our cute pin tins as much as we do! If you fancy a read, issue 4 is out now.

We have a SALE on! In order to make space for delicious new goodies we can't wait to order, many things are as much as half price. 

We have Scandiphones in red or black, now only £21! Would make a perfect valentines gift for the man in your life...

What an amazing year we've had!


We've completely changed our logo to something we think suits us far better.


We're stocking brands we love and have more home made items than we've ever had before. We trashed the shop and re-arranged it so the layout is much more to our liking.

Our craft workshops have become increasingly popular, we're really proud of the fantastic skills people can now learn in the...

Well, no I don't really. It would soon lose its lustre wouldn't it? As you get older, it seems that time passes more quickly, but paradoxically, Christmases seem to get further apart!

We spent time with family and friends. Ate more than seemed possible (and the leftovers just keep coming). Man-Egraced us with his presence (that little chap has a very busy schedule!), I think he enjoyed Amy's...

We have a special guest post from ManE! :

Last night was the Berylune Knit and Natter Christmas Special. I got to wear my special Christmas hat that Amy made for me and drink mulled wine!
There was an impressive party buffet so we had lots to eat, but very little knitting got done.
I ate quite a lot of food and so did everyone else. There was hardly anything left by the end of the night.
Instead...

The elves have been busy in the shop! Zoë has been busy making things as fast as they sell. Amy has been busy making other things, wrapping soap, packing boxes for the delivery lady to collect and being generally cheery to customers. I've been performing very important bean counting services, taking pretty pictures of the things they make and adding them to Not on the High Street and our Big...

I feel better! We've been really busy! I've been taking more photos for selling goodies online (this is all I ever seem to do these days, which won't impress the VAT man come the end of the month). Here are some of my pictures for you to ogle. Don't judge them too harshly, I'm not Fiona:

OK, so we've been pretty Christmassy in the shop for a while now, but this last week or so it's all gone a bit potty. On Saturday, people were actually hovering outside, waiting for space to get in the shop! Add to that our recent foray in to the world of online selling, and we've been pretty busy!

Unfortunately, I've been even less use than normal. I was feeling pretty poorly last week, then I...

I've had a number of excellent retro finds this week. Woefully, they're mostly going to be Christmas presents, so I can't very well reveal them here. So here are a couple of new things that arrived this week instead:

I've had a cold. Which is a poor excuse for missing Washi Wednesday, I know. But I figured you'd all forgive me upon seeing these, which arrived today:

For those of you further afield, you can now buy many of our products on our spiffy new website! Not everything is on there yet, but we're working on it... If there is something you've seen on the blog or on Facebook that you would like to see added, send us an email and we'll move it  up the list for you.

If you click the 'Shop' tab at the top of this page, or click here, you can go and have a...

Donna Wilson has arrived! And we love it!

We received a very exciting delivery this week. We've been drooling over Iveth's beautiful jewellery for a while now. We love her 'Angry Weather' designs and now they have arrived, we are very impressed with the feel and quality of them. They are designed and hand made in Montreal with obvious care and attention. Each necklace comes in it's own hand printed bag. We know what we'll be asking Father...

Why not decorate your dull food clips with Washi to make them pretty? Why indeed.

What on earth is this? Yes, we know it's a keyring. And it's some sort of little man on skis. But seriously, what is it? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

If, like myself, you have a younger sibling or even two or three, you will probably find yourself missing a good deal of your childhood memorabilia. My Ladybird books, along with other classics like 'The Cat in the Hat', my original 1980s My Little Ponies and my magic Family Tree House, were handed down to Amy. I don't remember being asked if this was ok. I presume I didn't care much for them at...

I failed to take any pictures of Washi yesterday because my camera battery was flat. I even have a spare, but that was flat too. I suck, sorry.


Have you noticed fellas wandering the streets with questionable facial fluff over the past week or so? It would appear that Movember is upon us once more! Remember Nate and his lovely blog postslast year? Well, this year he's gone one step further and made...

This week's Friday Find is already sold. Sorry. I guess someone is getting a treat for Christmas!


Amy and I have both had an exhausting day, although we weren't together. Christmas landed in the shop, with lots of sales and a delivery of Christmas decorations, so Amy was rushed off her feet. I spent the day with the lovely, talented Fiona, shifting furniture, hammering things in to walls and...
