Hello Sunshine !

Welcome to Sally’s Sunflowers by Gilly Page Jewellery

Thank You For Popping By !

Let Me Introduce Myself

I’m Gilly,

Designer Maker, sunshine chaser and founder of Sally’s Sunflowers by Gilly Page Jewellery.

A collection of joyful eco silver jewellery responsibly sourced and organic cotton clothing & accessories inspired by Sally…

Who always turned her face towards the sunshine in search of the light…

Just as Sunflowers do and spread sunshine wherever she went …

Let Me Tell You More…

Once upon a time one balmy Summer’s evening two girls met in the garden of a country pub in deepest Worcestershire.

Part of a bunch of students celebrating the end of A levels …

This is where the seeds for our friendship were sown - Sally and I …

We met through my boyfriend at the time …

The boyfriend became history but the friendship I gained through him endured …

I did not know what a profound effect that red headed, bubbly, fun loving, life loving, resilient, strong, joyful girl would have …

We made our own best friend history over an incredible 36 years !

I had always longed for a sister and she was it … she really was that cheesy line sister from another Mr !

We left our teenage years behind and went through our 20’s, 30’s and 40’s together …

Writing our own book of adventures we laughed, we cried, we loved, we lost, we married, we became mothers…

We worked our way through a life changing Cancer diagnosis that she navigated with positivity, hope, strength and resilience…

Most of all an overwhelming joy for life and she quite simply astounded me.

Sunflowers Were Sally’s Favourite Flower…

Symbolising positivity, joy, hope, happiness, love, strength, resilience and friendship…

All of which epitomised how she lived her life and how I try to live mine…

Sally was diagnosed with mouth Cancer at 35 which caused facial disfigurement and also impeded her speech and ability to eat…

Instead of hiding away from the world Sally ran headlong into every day …

With perfect make up and a burst of brightness, positivity, joyfulness and sunshine…

15 years of living with cancer and boy did she squeeze every last drop of living out of every day…

There were dark days where the clouds were so dark it was hard to find the sunshine…

Sally always managed to find a pop of positivity or pocket of joy…

Forever hopeful of the dark days passing and the sun to shine once more…

Non more so than when she found an ingenious way of being able to eat cake !!!

Sally LOVED Cake and was an amazing baker but was restricted by a liquid diet…undeterred and armed with a slice of her chosen cake,double cream, blender and a straw …

cake smoothly anyone ?!?

Promise

When Sally’s Cancer returned for a third and final time she was unable to speak …

She knew that I had let my artisan jewellery business Gilly Page Jewellery slide into the shadows…

I was on the verge of giving up my creative dreams…

I was struggling to come to terms with life without her in it …

She scribbled a note on a piece of paper making me promise to keep going and not to give up…

I kept that promise and that piece of paper…

Legacy

When my darling girl finally went to dance amongst the stars I created Sally’s Sunflowers by Gilly Page Jewellery…

To continue to spread her sunshine and her legacy…

Positivity, joy, hope, happiness, love, strength, resilience, friendship and Sunflowers from my little corner of the world to yours…

I created a silver Sunflower charm and donated 100% of the profit to Primrose Hospice who looked after her in her final days …

To create the Sunflower room a place of peace, tranquility and calm for patients and their families …

Bloom & Grow

Since the seed for that first little silver Sunflower was sown Sally’s Sunflowers has bloomed and grown…

A collection of joyful eco silver jewellery,responsibly sourced organic cotton clothing and accessories…

Designed to Spread The Sunshine and make you smile…

Based on all the things that Sally loved as a woman, mother and friend …

Eco silver jewellery - My promise to her …

A make up bag - She loved it and was brilliant at applying it !!!

Not to cover her scars but to enhance them as she accepted them with positivity and love …

To her they signified another day, month, year with her darling boy … the love of her life…

A coffee mug - she loved the social buzz of meeting friends for a coffee even if she couldn’t eat the cake …

Cake smoothies are yet to catch on !!!

A canvas shopper - she could make shopping an Olympic sport and always had one to hand … just in case !

Cosy cushions - to lounge on the sofa getting engrossed in a magazine or binge watching her favourite TV - She loved cookery programmes even though she could not eat the food !!!

Giving a whole new meaning to eating with your eyes !!!

Snuggly hoodies and sweatshirts to watch her darling boy play rugby or walk her dogs.

Simple things we can all identify with and are part of our daily lives.

Made With Meaning To Be Worn With Feeling
