Hi everyone! Well its that time of year again when we decide on our event diary for the year - I have tirelessly been trying to find lots of new events around the country so that we can get Girl Paua Jewellery further afield. Not everything is confirmed yet, so I will continually update this list. Remember to check out the stockists too incase there is somewhere near to you stocking our lovely range.

Hopefully you will find lots of ideas for family summer days out as well as for unique crafty presents for friends and family!

Hope to see you at an event soon!
