New Year's Resolutions. Love them or hate them?

Personally I don’t bother, because I forget what they are 😂

I feel like they set me up to fail, buuuuut I do like setting a little goal for myself, but with a baby due any day I’m thinking they can wait a little while longer to be set …

So some of the things I have in my sights for my little business this year are...

💍 To be more active on here
✨ Not to keep all of the jewellery I like 😂
💖 Be more of my authentic self, I’m pretty sarcastic and dry and a friend said they’d like to see more of that on here! You may disagree 😉

How about you? What does 2023 have in store for you?

🎉 Happy New Year to friends old and new 🎉

I thought this brand new chapter would be the perfect time for us to all reintroduce ourselves, reconnect and get to know one another a little better. I'll go first, but please help me out and tell me something fun about you, in the comments.

I'm Liz. I'm Mum to Teddy, wife to Dan, sister, friend, horse lover, dog lover and a country bumpkin farmer’s wife!

I'm a chocoholic, a lover of all things Disney, addicted to shopping (mainly to 🙈) and all lovely sparkly jewellery.

I'll be taking part in a small business Instagram challenge this month, using so I hope you'll enjoy seeing a lot more behind the scenes!

Ok, you're turn. Please don't leave me hanging! Tell me all about you!
Are you a working mum? A small business owner? A country girl about town?

What made you follow me? What do we have in common?

Let me know, would love to get to know you all better x

Is anyone feeling personally victimised by their parents today? 🙋‍♀️ I’m 33 ….

Hello everyone!

I have gained some more followers lately so I thought that I had better reintroduce myself.

I’m Liz, mum to little Ted, with another on the way, farmer’s wife to Dan and owner of too many horses and dogs!

I’m a lover of all vintage and antique jewellery but I’m unashamedly obsessed with sapphires 💎

I set up Cotes Antiquities as a stay at home mum during 2020 and I have loved every second. It brings me the most joy to see my jewellery being loved and enjoyed by people, so remember to send me photos!

Any thing else you’d like to know? Drop a comment below …

This new addition will soon be going live! As most of you know, my favourite ring is a cluster … although a modest design, it is classic and elegant in every way 💎

Together once again. Our dearest Queen Elizabeth, thank you. There are not the words on this darkest day, one that we all hoped would never come. You have left the biggest and brightest mark on all our lives as you pass on to the next life to join your beloved Prince Philip.

The world will be a different place without your presence. Rest in peace and God bless.💔

“Grief is the price we pay for love.” - HM Queen Elizabeth

A huge thank you!

This weekend has been so full of lovely messages, people asking about my jewellery and my little business.

I’m always so pleased when someone loves the same pieces that I do!

Whether or not you buy, it doesn’t matter. A share, a like, a comment or even just a chit chat … it all helps my small business to grow.

So thank you, thank you, thank you all x

It’s a beautiful day here in Leicestershire. The sun is shining and I’m getting lots of messages about some gorgeous pieces.
