Eclectic Eccentricity

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Eclectic Eccentricity is solely run by lovely Lucy in the UK. What started out as a past time has now developed into a full time gig. To me there is nothing better than when your hobby or passion turns into your job. It makes me smile every time I hear an indie designer say that they’ve had to quit their day job to pursue their craft.

Sleepy Head Vintage Bunny Necklace : £9.75

Like Peas In A Pod Charm Necklace : £10.50

Lucy works mostly with vintage pieces and everything you will find at EE is one of a kind, or available in very small numbers. If you love jewellery that is girly, pretty, romantic and of course little aeccentric this shop is for you!
