Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving raffle page, we're so glad you're here! Scroll down for details on how to enter or read on to find out what this is all about..
Perhaps you're familiar with my work, but if not, a little introduction..
My name is Victoria Walker and I specialise in opening flower lockets that unfold into bloom when revealed by the wearer. Often admired for their heirloom qualities, these botanical treasures are usually bought as significant memory-markers; gifts to celebrate lifes big events such as a birth, wedding anniversary, milestone birthday, graduation or retirement. Each locket is handmade by myself in my workshop in Truro, Cornwall, UK.
And I've decided to give one away. Because I can, and because I feel strongly that the internet needs more 'love others' in a time of excessive 'self love'.
This year I want to raise money for children and families who's lives, quite frankly, aren't as easy as my own. I'm exceptionally lucky to be part of a large, close family. Aged 33, I'm one of *five children, auntie to seven, a great aunt twice (soon to be three times) and also have the honour of being godmother to one. There have always been lots of children in my life and it has not gone unnoticed that on the whole, they have all been blessed with good health (*touch wood*). There are so many families that aren't so fortunate and its charities like Children's Hospice South West that give these families a lifeline; specialist healthcare, respite, and support to live the fullest and happiest lives they can.
I hope that by giving away one of my best selling designs, Sunflower Locket, that we can get lots of people donating £10 (little more than the price of coffee and cake) for the chance to win it. The retail value of this piece is £1,200 and I would really love to raise this amount if we can. For more information and a video about this design, visit the website at www.vwjewellery.co.uk
