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

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
meditationcharityI’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!

Christmas RosaryI 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

www.atalyadesigns.co.ukMy 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.
www.atalyadesigns.co.ukI’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

Saint Francis Rosary Beads!

St. FrancisHi 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 taking good care of yourselves.
I have been very busy over the past few weeks, creating and lovingly making new rosary designs and receiving ‘custom’ orders. I adore bespoke orders! Designing something for a precious soul is such a gratifying reward, I feel very blessed to meet such kindred souls who love my work as much as I do! Thank you to all my beautiful customers and friends for your support and love, it means so much to me.
I have created two new rosaries to Saint Francis of Assisi – he was such a beautiful soul. A gentle, caring, humble man – he seemed to resonate with pure Heavenly Light during his life on Earth. So, after reading quite a few books on this blessed soul (and buying too many Saint Francis trinkets!) – I felt compelled to dedicate a couple of rosaries to this humble, endearing man.
The first rosary contains Silver Leaf Jasper, Smokey Quartz and Hematite beads for protecting, grounding and harmonising the mind, body and spirit.

The second rosary features a cute ‘dove’ bead and heart shaped Paters – with the following stones: Peace Jade, Picture Jasper and Angelite beads for peace, serenity and protection.
RosaryI hope you like them :) You can access them both on my web site, under Catholic Rosary Beads (on page one and two). I’ve also added a few more Gift Boxes to my web site, as many of my customers love the idea of choosing their own gift box. I hope you are pleased with the new selection of boxes 
I’m also in the process of creating some new Saint bracelets and rosary bracelets, as I think they’re becoming a firm favourite with you all! Thank you so much for all your beautiful comments and lovely words regarding my designs and creations – you truly make my job so fulfilling and rewarding. I love to hear from you, so thank you for keeping in touch – it makes my day.
Until next time, sending you much love and Divine blessings, God bless, Emma x x

New Rosaries Added!

Bud
Hi everyone! I hope you’re all enjoying the beautiful Spring weather we’re having – I love it when the sun shines and little buds start forming on the trees. So enchanting.


I have some news for you all, I’ve managed to add a few new rosaries to my web site and I’m currently in the process of taking some photos of the Saint bracelets I’ve recently finished. Very exciting, I love how the bracelets have turned out :) Here’s a sneak preview of the Saint Francis bracelet.
Saint BraceletThe new rosary beads that I’ve added are a ‘Sterling Silver Dumortierite and Hematite’ (number 42), a lovely purple rosary using ‘Sugilite Jasper and Bronze’ (number 43) and a Sterling Silver Baby rosary (number 101).  The first two rosaries can be found on this page, whereas, the baby rosary can be found here.
I’ve also added two new mini prayer booklets to my site, as customers have asked about different prayer aids and leaflets that they can buy – so I hope you like the new ones. You can find them here. Jesus and Mary prayers, they’re cute little books which I hope will bring much comfort and hope :)

Jesus Book of Prayers
The other Saint bracelets will be added over the coming few weeks, as I combine my time with some bespoke orders I currently have for Holy Communion. Which reminds me! I’m going to create some children’s wooden rosaries too – which I think will be perfect for the Special day. Small wooden beads, perfect for little hands. Too cute. Can’t wait to begin!
Until next time, my beautiful dear friends and customers – may I wish you all a wonderful weekend filled with blessings and abundance. All my love, Emma x x x
