So how do you pronounce C'est La Vie?!
How do you pronounce this name, and what it is anyway??
Pronounced - "say la vee"
C'est la vie is French for 'That's the life' or 'it's the life' - so that works well when you consider that I am combining the best of my work and leisure and location and pouring it all into this new venture. Sailing, Harken and our seaside holiday location on the Solent.
Of course, my name is also Vie; so it is a pun on 'That's the Vie'.
And, when you don't see it written down it also sounds like 'Sailor Vie' - which is me as well!
So it's perfect, don't you think? :-)
New jewellery ideas for 2017
Coming soon! I have just sent off a 3 blade propeller, a very small long shackle and the 'Katie' shell to be professionally moulded and cast.
My first foray into gold - for the tiny shackle. Very excited to be able to offer my first gold piece of jewellery! I will probably launch it at the Dinghy Show 2017.
New Reef Knot silver ring
Finally got around to making a Reef Knot ring to match my range of reef knot jewellery - bangle, charm bracelet and necklace.
It's easy and comfortable to wear, and I think I will be making many more of these. This first one is a gift for my nephew Jamie - a very cool dude indeed! He thinks it will make a good signet type ring for his little finger. I hope he likes it!
