Trinity Knot - Sterling Silver

 The Wedding Expo was a success, with a great turn-out, and plenty of interest in Celtic Connexions' wedding rings.

Bob and Kerrill at the Wedding Expo in Hamilton, last weekend.

As mentioned last time, Bob decided to run a promotion at the Wedding Expo. Everyone who subscribed to the Celtic Connexions newsletter on the day went into the draw to win a Sterling Silver Claddagh ring. YOU CAN BE IN TO WIN ONE TOO! Just "like" the Celtic Connexions page on Facebook, or if you are already a fan, just post a comment on our wall, and you will go in the draw to win! There will be a chance to win each week throughout July.

As you probably know, the Claddagh ring is worn by women and men, and can symbolise any relationship from friendship, to marriage. Many people where the Claddagh ring in honour of their Irish heritage. The heart represents love, the hands holding the heart represent friendship, and the crown atop the heart represents loyalty. We have a range of sizes and styles in stock. The competition is for a Sterling Silver Claddagh ring.

Do check out the Celtic Connexions Blog, which you can find a link to on the front page of our website. The latest entry gives information about the Tartan Day coming up in Hamilton next month.

We look forward to seeing you on Facebook!

All the best,

Heidi Brown

Bob Wallace.

Since our windows were adorned by the yellow "closing down" signs, Celtic Connexions has experienced a new burst of life. Dragons and faeries are flying off the shelves, as are many of our Celtic knick-knacks. CDs and whistles are following the same tune - no doubt moving on to spread lively Celtic music all over the Waikato, and beyond! Many customers are walking away happy, having received an excellent deal on a new kilt, or a stunning piece of jewellery.

While our sale is proving to be a huge success, there are still plenty of bargains to be had, so do come in and see for yourself! If you are looking for a smart, quality kilt jacket, come in and see Bob - he will give you a good deal.

We are excited to announce our brand new website is up and running. We have kept our old web address, celt.co.nz, so you can find us easily. We hope the improvements will make your on-line shopping experience more straightforward and enjoyable. We are very pleased with the new look.  

Bob has also been busy setting up a Clan Wallace website. You will be able to order custom made kilt ware, Clan crests, badges, pins, and more.

If you want a bit of cheering up this winter, check out the Scottish radio show Bob highly recommends - Andy's Ceilidh. Have a ball in your own living room!

That is all from me,

Chì mi rithist thu!

Art Pewter

 Thank you to everyone who ordered one of our lovely Soul Mate rings, featured in our last newsletter. Today we venture into art pewter jewellery (click on the link to see a larger selection on our facebook page where we would love you to like us!)

Celtic Knot Amethyst $55

Thank you for the correction on the Robert Burns poem - the date should have been 1794 not 1974! I thought I would include another poem from Scotland, seeing as though the Art Pewter range is made there, and I think this particular poem uses stunning imagery of colours, not entirely unlike the beautiful spectrum of amethyst jewellery.

Mountain Twilight

The hills slipped over each on each
   Till all their changing shadows died.
Now in the open skyward reach
   The lights grow solemn side by side.
While of these hills the westermost
Rears high his majesty of coast
   In shifting waste of dim-blue brine
   And fading olive hyaline;
Till all the distance overflows,
   The green in watchet and the blue
In purple. Now they fuse and close -
   A darkling violet, fringed anew
With light that on the mountains soar,
A dusky flame on tranquil shores;
   Kindling the summits as they grow
In audience to the skies that call,
Ineffable in rest and all
   The pathos of the afterglow.

William Renton 1893
