We are Chris and Tracey from Yorkshire
Magpie started in the family home’s
cellar, that was converted in to a workshop following Chris sustaining a
serious accident in the workplace Through Chris’s recovery making jewellery
gave him a focus which then turned in to a passion.
Tracey is a full Mental Health Nurse, whilst being a nurse is her first love
her other passion is gems stones so on her days off you’ll find her here at Magpie
She has established some excellent contacts worldwide to source only the top quality
stones and is always happy to chat to customers and give advice about what they want.
Through late nights and hard work Magpie built up in our local community and on line.
It was then we both decided to try and make a go of it in Spain as we have a big love
for the country and have many good friends there already .
Then covid stuck 😢 ..
which made us think about what’s important in life and how fragile it is.
Prior to covid we had been travelling the 300 miles to Plymouth as often as possible for
the past 3 years to see our son Ronan , who serves in the Royal Navy,
we had often remarked how we loved Plymouth and the more we came the
more we found ourselves saying this to each other.
We then had a re think about life and the current situation re: the pandemic
and the answer was staring us there in the face .
We relocated in a heartbeat
along with our daughter Chloe and grandson Ozzy in October and after finding
a little shop Magpie was born ❤️
