The lovely gang from Tatty Devine have joined the Wee Birdy party, and look what they’ve come up with for my week of giveaways. This adorable cockatiel bead necklace is from their current SS09 collection, and features a delicate pink blush and Swarovski crystal eye. Like the rest of Tatty Devine's amazing pieces, he was handmade in their East London studio.
He’s also reversible, and can be worn showing his little feet peeping out over a branch. Cute!
I also really love the retro-style white beading, which adds a touch of old-fashioned glamour. This very special giveaway is valued at £68. For your chance to win, leave a comment telling me your idea for a fab Tatty Devine necklace (here's mine: a Belle and Sebastian collaboration, yeah!). I’ll be using a random number generator to pick the winner, so get busy with your comments now. All giveaway winners will be announced on Monday 27 July, 2009.
*EDIT* Entries close for all giveaways on Friday 24 July at 6pm (British Summer Time). And please remember to include your email address in your comment so I can contact you if you win!

Oooh, how wonderful, I love it.
I'd like to see a crazed, retrotastic curly haired girl. They have a wonderful 60s style one, but i'm curly. I need the curls.
Like this but waaaaaaay less cutesy.

I'm really into restoring my battered little car to it's former glory at the moment.
Let's see some chunky engine parts on a dainty little chain!

a necklace made of old fashioned sweeties, like shrimps, bananas,dolly mixtures, coke bottles etc all on a strawberry shoelace...

A squirrel necklace!

Posted by: jen | July 17, 2009 at 10:14 AM

Posted by: Cath W | July 17, 2009 at 10:25 AM

Posted by: Charito Joy | July 17, 2009 at 11:12 AM
How about a super cute trendy retro asian style with pandas, tiny bows and cherry blossoms
Posted by: J Panda | July 17, 2009 at 11:19 AM
How about a string of owls on a necklace or bracelet. With big eyes of course.
Posted by: Grace | July 17, 2009 at 11:34 AM
Well as I am obsessed with fruit jewellery, how about a charm necklace with apples, strawberries, watermelon..........
Posted by: KtP | July 17, 2009 at 12:15 PM
Everyone loves a good book.
Im thinking pages of a book (acrylic of course) hanging from a chain. Dinky ones, big ones, lots of pages, single pages, maybe a quote, maybe a story ....
What about a scroll. Oh la, all these papery ideas make me go all thoughtful.

A TOASTER necklace !!!
Posted by: Sara Jeanne | July 17, 2009 at 01:13 PM
A Miss Van collaboration would be amazing!
Posted by: Sophie | July 17, 2009 at 01:21 PM
Wow, what a great giveaway! I'd love to see a retro-looking TV set necklace!
Posted by: natalie | July 17, 2009 at 01:24 PM
I'd love a Twitter name necklace - a bird charm on the traditional tatty devine name-necklace. It'd be perfect for social media conferences and blogger meet-ups!
Posted by: BexUK | July 17, 2009 at 01:51 PM
hoooooooo!! So cute! As everything from tatty Devine!!
It brings some fresh air in this world!
let's fly with the cockatiel!
Posted by: isabelle | July 17, 2009 at 02:12 PM
Great giveaway,lovely blog!
I'd love a cockail glass with a cute paper umbrella necklace!
Posted by: kelly | July 17, 2009 at 02:37 PM
My favourite piece is my Tatty Devine tiger, so I'd love to see more really large, chunky necklaces like that one - how about a matching lion? Also, more tattoo influenced stuff, proper old school sailor type things - I have the swallow earrings and absolutely love them.
Posted by: Cat | July 17, 2009 at 03:47 PM
Remember the Copyright earrings? I loved them and were so gutted when they sold out! Some design related jewelery like that would be brilliant-the collection could be called 'C M Y Ok'! Hee hee. A necklace with just the four little coloured squares would be lovely, and would remain a classic as well :)On that note a little Apple Macbook or any laptop neckace, or even a camera necklace would be great! :)
Posted by: Lily | July 17, 2009 at 04:07 PM
masonic symbols could be really cool translated into Tatty's signature acrylic.
Posted by: Hannah | July 17, 2009 at 04:30 PM
How about a range of really cute umbrellas? With candy stripes and handles made in the shape of birds or CAKES!
Posted by: ellie | July 17, 2009 at 05:27 PM
A King and Queen collection - regal colour palette and lush opulence would turn my innards to velvet
Posted by: Sarah Bell | July 17, 2009 at 05:29 PM
I love Tatty Devine. They already made my perfect piece - the magpie necklace ;-) But if I was to have another dream piece it would be a mock-Rolex bracelet.
Posted by: Sneakymagpie | July 17, 2009 at 05:42 PM
I'm thinking about lots of brightly coloured beads finished with a rainbow pendant! I love colour! x
Posted by: Mollimoo | July 17, 2009 at 06:12 PM
I'd love to see some jewellery with buildings on- either cutsey dolls houses or world famous monuments- I'd love something with the Gherkin on, for example! :)
Posted by: Rebecca | July 17, 2009 at 06:52 PM
How a about some london underground themed stuff, i.e double decker buses with maybe london landmarks, a giant london eye!
Posted by: Tara | July 17, 2009 at 07:07 PM
Toadstools, moomins and wunderbaums !
Or even better a collaboration with danish designer Zarah Voigt - lovely, lovely plexiglass jewellery (and no, I do not know her personally. Denmark is not that small.)
;-)
Posted by: Mette | July 17, 2009 at 08:56 PM
a camera one (particularly a holga by lomography!) it would be brilliant! :D xxx
Posted by: Caroline | July 17, 2009 at 09:46 PM
I would love something billiards themed. I have earrings made out of pool balls but Tatty Devine's materials would really make the colors pop!
It would be amazing if they could collaborate with the Mighty Boosh, the result would be truly unique.
Posted by: Shannon J | July 18, 2009 at 03:22 AM
A ladybug of course!
Posted by: thejenbug | July 18, 2009 at 10:09 AM
What a lovely giveaway!
This cute bird must match Kimono:)
And I'd love to a unicorn necklace.
Posted by: sato | July 18, 2009 at 03:40 PM
Great giveaway! I'd love to see a tatty divine retro computer game icons - pacman, a few pacman ghosts and maybe a space invader or two!
Posted by: Delicious Industries | July 19, 2009 at 12:24 AM
I'd like to see some Camera Obscura collaboration - swans and peacocks galore. Or I'd like a beach hut necklace - as I can't have the real thing here in Glasgow!
Posted by: Margaret | July 19, 2009 at 11:39 AM
Oohhh I agree with the King and Queen collection! That could be fab..if it was done in a pack-of-cards style. The different suits on the cards would make lovely pendants, or even charm bracelets! There could even be a necklace with a big red heart that said 'Queen of your Hearts'!:)
Posted by: Lily | July 19, 2009 at 01:16 PM
I think a croissant would be nice!
Posted by: Alice | July 19, 2009 at 07:40 PM
Good grief - I go off filming, you have a competition and everyone wants to be a winner. I'm thinking a squirrel - I need a squirrel something. I'm very partial to deer too but I know they've delivered on that!
Posted by: Make Do Style | July 19, 2009 at 08:42 PM
What a gorgeous giveaway! Well they already did my dream team-up with Rob Ryan... maybe a team-up with Zoey Deschanel? (Well if Kate Moss can do Topshop!)
Other than that I would love if they did a 'UK Love' (with themed England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland necklaces... I would have to invest in some Scotland of course!)
Posted by: Zoe, Conversation Pieces | July 19, 2009 at 10:21 PM
How about a London skyline necklace? I see the Gherkin, Big Ben, the London Eye, Albert Bridge. Or, even better, as I am a Battersea girl, how about a Battersea necklace?! Dogs' Home (or just dogs) power station, peace pagoda and Albert Bridge...
Posted by: Mads | July 20, 2009 at 10:15 AM
I'd like to see an English countryside inspired collection - combi van, jam jar, berries in a collection tin, picnic set, deck chair, ice-cream cone etc. Go Tatti! x
Posted by: Susie | July 20, 2009 at 10:31 AM
I like animals on necklaces... maybe some kitsch little cats/puppy dogs with big eyes.
Posted by: Spannerchilde | July 20, 2009 at 12:11 PM
anything related to flying and aeronautical pursuits, like hot air balloons, pilot goggles and bi-planes!
Posted by: alex | July 20, 2009 at 12:14 PM
Another fab giveaway! Thank you.
And so many brill ideas for Tatty Devine necklaces. I like their table tennis range at the mo, so would like more retro game inspired pieces, perhaps ludo or snakes and ladders with lovely big counters, dice and sneaky snakes! xx
Posted by: Fabric Nation | July 20, 2009 at 02:26 PM
I would love Tatty Devine Art Deco jewelry.
Posted by: Alma | July 20, 2009 at 03:32 PM
Oooh love that necklace! I amost bought the earrings the other day!
I'd love to see some pretty coloured paper chain necklaces. They'd be pretty.
Posted by: Siany | July 20, 2009 at 04:43 PM
I'm obsessed with reading 60s novels at the minute: what about chunky name necklaces bearing the name of your favourite authors?
Posted by: Tor (fabfrocks) | July 20, 2009 at 04:49 PM
I think the olm would make an interesting necklace:

Posted by: Emma | July 20, 2009 at 05:54 PM
Such a gorgeous necklace! I would love to see chess-piece inspired jewellery - slightly nerdy I know, but I think it would work!
Posted by: Gemma G | July 21, 2009 at 01:20 PM
How about a burlesque collection? Corsets and frilly knickers. All things for the modern day vixen.
Posted by: Feefee | July 21, 2009 at 02:51 PM
I think i'd love a necklace with a biscuit and a cup of tea for dunking...ohhh i'm hungry for tea and biscuits...
Posted by: KatieBee | July 21, 2009 at 03:12 PM
argh! cute!
Posted by: Holly | July 22, 2009 at 08:24 AM
Yay for Tatty Devine! Such fun jewellery! I think it would be cool to see Tatty Devine do a collab with Ligia Digas. I think combining the cutesy and whimsical look of TD with LD's slightly harder, more glam-punk look would be cool.
Or maybe Natalia Brilli could bring a bit of a dark, rock edge to TD.
For a non-jewellery collab I think the designer Walter Van Beirendonck could be interesting. His wild color schemes and surreal knits would look great with a bit of TD goodness.
Posted by: Chris | July 22, 2009 at 09:44 AM
A bakelite brooch of the caped figure that appeared on Phil Spector 45s in the 1960s...
Posted by: Gem | July 22, 2009 at 02:56 PM
What about hats? Great scope there for some classic Tatty Devine persex silhouettes. Bowler hats, top hats, deerstalkers, flat caps, bonnets, riding hats.
Or a riding theme charm-style necklace with hard hat, boots and crop?
Posted by: Liz | July 22, 2009 at 04:20 PM
I think they should do a collection inspired by wonders of the world - and not stick to the ancient ones as there are so many amazing ones. Perhaps one wonder per country? So they could do a tour of the world in necklaces. USA could be Statue of Liberty and my favourite would be Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany - the most amazing fairytale castle there is!
Posted by: Anna | July 23, 2009 at 08:47 AM
Tatty Devine meets Ladurée - lots of yummy looking pieces like macaron earrings and necklaces...
Posted by: shukumei | July 23, 2009 at 05:39 PM
gold feathers...
Posted by: Spannerchilde | July 23, 2009 at 06:06 PM
Perhaps a miniature devine "Tatty" book fitted to a ring. Open the book to find a TD throbbing red heart !!
Posted by: Page Smith | July 23, 2009 at 07:36 PM
I would love to see a collaboration with Blythe Dolls....they could make jewellery for you and your blythe! Tatty Devine Rocks!
Posted by: Pinkbirdy | July 23, 2009 at 07:37 PM
Hi chickens, the comp is now closed.
Thanks so much for all your amazing suggestions for a future Tatty Devine collection. It's been really fun reading them all, and I know the Tatty girls have been reading them with interest, too!
Hope you all have a great weekend. Winners will be announced on Monday - good luck!
