Wow that is amazing! It's so lovely to find a link! That's made my day :-) Yes she lived in Islington many years ago before moving to Dartmoor where she spent the last thirty odd years of her life. But I know the Islington home because my uncle, one of her sons, lived there. He also made jewellery at some point and they shared a hallmark.

Yes I’d love to meet you after lockdown, when I am next in London, as I live in york now. Yes it’s quite possible some of my inherited beads were bought from you..

Do you have a website for your work? Are you still making jewellery? It is a wonderful passion which I am thankful for inheriting from my Grannie. I know she sold her work in Heals department store at some point, and through places like Dartington hall. She was certainly a character that people remember! I'm attaching a photos of her jewellery, using her collected beads and her own handmade beads, and some photos of her too. Photos of her will be the next item in this thread...
