Not seen the new gorjuss bags yet? Check out our LAST BLOG POST to find out more!
Now are you all ready to meet our Guest this weekend?
Please meet Emma, she is the owner of Kitsch-tique, a wonderfully colourful jewellery line! She is a one woman business and does everything from designing the jewellery to posting out your orders. She graduated from university in 2005, with a BA in Retail Marketing. Emma fell into making jewellery as a hobby and when her bedroom became over-run with jewellery she started selling on Ebay. This led to my own website and most recently, her colourful little corner of Etsy! All the products at Kitsch-tique are limited edition or one of a kind, meaning that you get to own something a little bit more special. Let’s find out more:
Hello Guest Giveaway lovely! Please tell us a little bit about you , who are you, where you’re from!??
My name is Emma, I’m 27 years old and I live in Lincolnshire. I’ve been running Kitsch-tique since 2006 and before that I studied Retail Marketing at Manchester Metropolitan University.
Tell us about what you make & your inspiration?
I make lots of very colourful jewellery and accessories! I get inspiration for all over the place. I tend to create things by accident and never go about the design process with any type of plan. I just sit staring at a pile of charms, buttons and beads until inspiration strikes! I’ve always enjoyed making things, since my Nan taught me to knit when I was young.
What is your favourite item to make/sell ?
My favourite thing to make is the Bright Button Necklace. I’m a self confessed button addict so I love looking at all the lovely colourful buttons and deciding on which ones should sit next to each other.
Do you have any favourite Etsy items you’ve bought?
Well I’m the proud owner of lots of Gorjuss prints – I’ve got no wall space left! Other than that I always buy my cards from StoreyShop –http://www.etsy.com/shop/Storeyshop – amazing cards!
Do you have any other websites people can find you?
You can find Kitsch-tique on Etsy – http://www.etsy.com/shop/kitschtique – as well as on our own website – www.kitsch-tique.co.uk – we’re also on Twitter and Facebook, you can find links to those on our website.
Whats the best advice you’ve ever been given?
Treat people how you’d like to be treated yourself. I use this when providing a service to my customers!
Anything else you’d like to say?
Thank you for letting Kitsch-tique participate in the Gorjuss Giveaway! 🙂

I was going through a really tough time with work and my family and on top of everything my cat had disappeared and had not been seen for weeks.
My lovely husband came home from work one day with a tiny little kitten in his hands to cheer me up. Most romantic and sweet gift I've ever recieved!
I had been going through a period of ill health for about 6 months and had put on weight. I'd also had to stop full time work and go part time due to my deteriorating health. My loving other half paid for gym membership for me and helped get me back to full health and back into a full time job. It was the most thoughtful thing he or anyone has ever done for me.
This is going to show my age, but when I was a little girl one Chirstmas I got a ticket for Adam and the Ants “Prince Charming Revue”. I was so excited I ripped the ticket stub, luckily they still let me in. :0)
The best gift I have ever been given is my cat, Smudge. The OH rescued her for me for our 3rd year anniversary aswell as a companion for when he worked away from home 🙂
And for my second entry, I adore everything on Emmas website.. I have bookmarked it for a longer look later, but if I had to pick straight away, it would be this: http://kitschtique.bigcartel.com/product/black-… – So girly and modern 🙂 xx
i think one of the best gifts i gave was for my best friends wedding. my brother took some great black and white 'candid' and more natrual shots of the day, and i put them into a lovely cream scrapbook with pretty laura ashley backing papers in it. her and her hubby loved it 🙂
ive also retweeted about the giveaway @cLare_beaR_
annnd my fave item off the etsy shop is the 'Wooden Angel Wing Necklace' i love angel wing jewellery 🙂
my best gift i gave was to my dad, he was dying of cancer and he told me he wanted to visit the old country house he was born and raised before he died. i went to the house owners and explain the situation and they allowed my dad and his brother to spend the day there. he died a week later
The best gift I have ever received was a tattoo paid for & designed by my hubby with my childrens names on 😀
As cheesy and predictable as i sounds the best gift I have ever received is my 4 beautiful children, they bring new joy to my life every day, theres never a dull moment in my life! Even when their eating crayons and I have to deal with rainbow coloured nappies later on!

My nan gave me a beautiful small wooden elephant from thailand that was hand carved and decorated with beads and imitation jewels. It's attached to my keyring so it goes everywhere with me! She passed away recently, so it's become even more special.
a laptop to enter competitions on
my best christmas present was a Girls World doll, which is definatley showing my age. The one with the wheel you twisted and the hair “grew”. I'd waited 3 yrs for it, so to finally get it was brilliant!!

After years of being unable to walk I finally took the steps to get insurance to pay for Physical Therapy. I learned to walk again. That was the best gift I ever gave myself
The best gift i gave was a spa break for my parents, my dad is a teacher and July is awful for him – due to exams – so this made his month as it gave him something to look forwards to.
My best Birthday present was when I had moved away from my family. I got a telephone call at midnight wishing me happy birthday, then, telling me to look out of the window. I looked out to see My 2 sisters, Late nephew, 2 nieces and their husbands looking in my window from outside my fence which had balloons tied all along it. They came indoors with a couple of bottles, chocolates and a massive candle. Tears of joy and Priceless
