About Me

Hello, my name is Claire. I run Punky Pins, a small company made up of DIY addicts and crafters. I have always been one for colourful things, and my jewellery is no exception. I hate bland/ run of the mill/ mundane with a passion; but love quirky/ kitsch/ bright/ trashy!
I get asked all the time where I get my stuff from.... well everywhere really! I source stuff from all over the world, and of course my own recycling bin.
I started it all, but I would be nowhere without my little team of helpers. They help me get everything out on time, keeping you guys happy bunnies!
I sell mainly from my website, but my stuff is also sold in funky shops and boutiques up and down the country, and now all internationally too. Check out my stockists page for your nearest outlet.As I run Punky Pins full time so that keeps me on my toes. I hardly get chance to go out with being so busy so I can honestly say I have no social life whatsoever. I am however on first name terms with the local post office staff and my postman. Yeah, I know, I need to get out more. Love Claire xxPUNKY PINSHome | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds
