Adrina Hardy- bflirty.com- N.A.P.A.T. Graduate
"It was only natural that I would choose to pursue an artistic career, though it hasn't always been clear that jewellery would catch my attention. But...my love of bits & baubles and all things sparkly crept up on me and slowly took over my life! So I hope you enjoy all my bits and baubles that I have to offer you, they are all handmade by me."
