About this item

Pumpkin Spice is the perfect name for this beautiful Leather Jewellery Set: pumpkin spice is a warm, aromatic blend of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and sometimes allspice. Cinnamon: Provides a sweet, woody base Nutmeg: Adds a nutty, warm flavour Ginger: Brings a subtle, earthy zing. Cloves: Offers a pungent, sweet kick Allspice (Optional): Blends the flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.  This set comprises of leather handmade pin brooch, hair clips & headband with gold coloured hardware. They would make a lovely gift to show someone you care, possibly to go with a birthday, Christmas or ‘just because…’ & they would be easy to post for far away friends to let them know that you’re thinking of them. 🎁 for family, friends & colleagues or a treat for yourself 💝 @handmade.by.mel Why I love working with leather… Objects & emotions are tied in to memories aren’t they? I love animals & rode horses from a young age. I used to spend all of my weekends at the stables, cleaning bridles and saddles, mucking out, then being rewarded with a riding lesson. At 21, I fell in love with Winston, he was a cross Arab Thoroughbred, he was a character, he’s no longer with us & I’m no longer able to ride due to some physical issues. Working with leather & the unique smell evokes those wonderful memories: I love how strong leather is, & yet so soft. It is something I aspire to be: having that strength of character, but making sure I still have my softness & allow my vulnerabilities to be seen. I am autistic & for many years felt I needed to hide my vulnerabilities in a hard shell - it has taken many years, & lots of work on myself, but I am at last allowing me to be my authentic self. I’m hoping through that, I can show my strength of character. Working with leather is good for the soul: the time it takes cutting then burnishing is a mindful process in itself, I am fully absorbed & as the saying goes…busy hands…quiet mind…and when the mind does wander, it takes me to those lovely times: cantering through stubble fields, or working intensely in the school after cleaning the bridle & saddle. I hope you like my leather headband, brooch & hairclip set. That’s why I love working with Leather @handmadebymel #handmadebymel #handmadebymel #flowerbrooch #leatherbrooch #leatherhairclips #leatherjewellery It is only the price of a couple of coffees (or pumpkin spices), but will bring pleasure to you or a loved one for much longer 🥰
