Happy Easter!

To all my beautiful friends and customers, I’d like to wish you all a truly wonderful and blessed Easter filled with the Lord’s heavenly love and light. I hope you have a lovely Easter holiday!
I’ve been adding some more rosaries to the web site and finishing some bespoke orders too, it’s been a wonderful time of renewal, creativity and new ideas! I’ll be adding some Confirmation rosaries over the coming months as I don’t have any rosary beads featuring the Holy Spirit medal…and that won’t do :) I have been inspired to create a page dedicated to them, so that will be coming soon – I’ll keep you posted on my progress.
I’ve recently added two new Holy Communion rosaries and an Easter rosary called The Good Shepherd – I just love how it’s turned out! It’s been lovingly created from blue sponge quartz, red coral beads and antique agate – here’s a picture for you to see all three new rosaries, I hope you like them….

I’ve recently completed a bespoke order for a beautiful soul in Wales and have begun another Holy Communion bespoke order today, I feel very blessed to have so many wonderful new customers buying from my web site – it’s a blessing to know you all! Thank you for making my job so rewarding and special, I feel very humbled by all your kind words and love.
Whatever you may be doing this coming Easter, may it be filled with joy and the blessings of this holy Season!
Take care and God bless you all, Emma Jane x x x

New Rosary Beads!

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I last wrote in my blog/diary and sent an email to all my dear friends and customers – I do hope you’re all well and looking forward to Spring and Easter. New buds are starting to sprout in the garden and new life is springing forth from the ground – it’s so beautiful to see! I do love Spring and the welcome sight of the sun shining upon the Earth :)

What have I been up to I hear you ask? Well, I’ve been quite busy restocking my rosary beads after the Christmas season and creating new designs for the coming months. The Holy Communion season is soon approaching and with that in mind I’ve created a new rosary using lilac jade gemstones and silver flower beads for little girls. It’s turned out quite well, very cute! I hope you like it too…..
I’ve also created a Sacred Heart of Jesus rosary using faceted dream agate and coffee agate gemstones, these stones combine really well together and provide a lot of healing energies to promote harmony within the mind, body and spirit. Just beautiful! I’ve also added two new sterling silver rosary beads (told you I’d been busy!) – and they can both be found on this page: http://www.atalyadesigns.co.uk/handmade_rosary_beads/index.html



Here are the three new rosaries for your to peruse, they’re made using some lovely gemstones – dream agate, coffee agate, fossil crinoid, blue impression jasper and antique agate. I do hope you like them! I thoroughly enjoyed creating them…..

I’m also on Pinterest, if you would like to Follow me then I’d be honoured and blessed if you did – here is my page for you to view and enjoy – http://pinterest.com/atalyadesigns/- I look forward to seeing you there! I’ve also had a thought about writing more frequently in my blog/diary to keep my customers more up to date – I promise not to bombard you with constant notifications everyday, but maybe once a month or twice a month might be nice :) Let me know if this doesn’t appeal to you and I can revert back to just once every two months.
Until next time, sending you much love and Divine blessings, God bless, Emma Jane x x

Happy New Year for 2013!

Hello everyone! I’d just like to wish all my dear customers and friends a truly blessed and Happy New Year, may all your hopes and wishes be fulfilled, and may the Lord God guide you throughout the coming year. Wishing you all a beautiful 2013!
I am busy re-stocking products from after the Christmas rush as many items are now out of stock, and I’m also hoping to create some new designs for 2013. I have lots of projects on the go and cannot wait to start adding them to site :)
Thank you once again for all your valued custom and kind comments through 2012, you are a joy to my soul and I feel honoured to serve you all. God bless you always, with much love from Emma Jane x x x

Just a quick reminder to all my beautiful customers that the last order dates for Christmas delivery at Atalya Designs is Sunday 16th December. Please allow extra time if you need to post gifts on once you’ve received them.

Atalya Designs will be closed over the holiday period, from midday on the 17th December to 5th January inclusive – all orders received during this time will be processed on the 7th January 2013. Please make sure you purchase all your beautiful handmade gifts in time for Christmas, and I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all my customers, friends and family a truly Merry Christmas and a Joyful New Year!!

Charity Rosary Beads and New Designs!

Hello my beautiful friends and customers! I hope you’re all well and looking forward to the festive season – did you know, it’s only 29 days til Christmas day! How exciting! Thanks to a lot of rest and healing prayers, I am feeling much better with my Colitis and back to creating rosaries and new prayer beads :) Thank you again to everyone for your support and love.
I also thought it might be a beautiful idea to create some handmade rosary beads and prayer beads for charity – enabling my customers to donate money to a good cause and also receive one of my handmade items in the process. After choosing a rosary or prayer gift from the items listed on my charity page and the order has been processed, I then donate 50% of the proceeds to the designated charity listed on the page.  A customer from Newcastle has recently donated £10 after ordering a faith bracelet for £20 – so we’re on our way! If you fancy donating a little something to charity (any amount will be a blessing, £2, £5 it doesn’t matter) – it will mean so much to so many people. Thank you in advance for your kindness!
Here is the web page for donating (without purchasing an item) – http://www.justgiving.com/atalya-designs
I’m also creating some new baby bracelets, as they have been selling well these past few months and a new collection of spiritual meditation beads have also been added to my site! I’m actually quite excited about these as they’re a lovely tool for meditation and contemplation. Perfect for someone who just wants to hold onto the beads and recite their own prayers. Many people are finding comfort from praying to their Guardian Angel and celestial beings. I’m hoping the new prayer beads will bring much comfort, love and faith to whoever wants to use them. I’ve even made the tassels myself – which as a terrible seamstress I’m quite pleased with the overall result! I’m now quite tassel crazy and looking at items I can add tassels to!
I will be adding the Christmas posting days on my web site soon, so you can be quite sure of your orders arriving in time for Christmas day :) Thank you again to everyone for your support and love over these past few months, you are an absolute blessing to me and my job is so much more rewarding thanks to your heavenly light shining upon me.

Wishing you all a truly beautiful week filled with love and Divine blessings, until next time, God bless, love Emma Jane x x x

Feeling better, new rosaries and a voucher!

Hi everyone! Happy Halloween! I hope you’re all well and enjoying your week – I feel so very blessed and thankful for all your love and healing wishes. Your prayers and get well cards have been so generous and thoughtful, thank you! They have been a great comfort to me, and I’m now feeling a little better! I’m not back to full strength, but slowly getting there. I have had the opportunity to create and make some new rosary designs and mala prayer beads – which is wonderful!

I have added a Christmas rosary to the web site, which I really enjoyed making – I have included a free Holly Charm to be added to your rosary too (if you wish) and I think it’s a sweet idea – and looks really cute. I hope you like it too! It’s already available to buy online and with a few other designs that I’ve managed to make (three of which you’ve already bought – thank you!) – I’m fully stocked in time for Christmas. Phew!
I know, I know – Christmas? Am I really talking about Christmas already? Please forgive me my beautiful friends and customers, but once the cold wintry nights set in and the clocks go back – we all have to start preparing for the beautiful Christmas festivities, and buying early to avoid disappointment is always a good idea. So, I just thought I’d mention it. Also – if you order before Bonfire Night you can use the following voucher for 10% off everything on my site. Just use the code: PUMPKIN at the checkout and click ‘apply’ to receive your discount.
Until next time, my beautiful angels! May I wish you all a fabulous Halloween night and many blessings in your life, God bless, Emma x x x

Update from Emma Jane

My dear beautiful friends and customers, please forgive me for not writing in my diary/blog earlier than today – but as most of you know, I suffer from Ulcerative Colitis and I have been most unwell these past few months with a flare. Do not worry if you had no idea – I know you all care greatly and send many prayers and love my way :)  I am still in mid-flare (they can last for up to four months) but I was feeling well enough to write a little something in my blog/diary and to say hello to all my lovely customers! I do hope you are well and enjoying your week. I am sending all my love and best wishes for a beautiful weekend to come :)
I have managed to add a few new rosaries to the site during my ‘good days’ and I’ve bought some new packaging for all my handmade items. They’re the cutest thing! Small purple press stud boxes that pop open to reveal the treasures within! Here’s a picture of them, I hope you like them too.
I’ve also had a request to create mala prayer beads for my site, and whilst I’ve never made them before – I thoroughly enjoyed researching about them and having a go at making them! I will be creating some more when I feel a little better, and then I’ll add them to the website – they’re a lovely strand of 108 gemstone beads to recite prayers, for chanting or to use during mediation. I hope my customers enjoy them as much as I’ll enjoy creating them! Watch this space!
Until next time, my beautiful Divine friends, have a wonderful weekend filled with treasures, love and holy blessings! With much love and light, Emma x x x
