Onwards and upwards and other things

I have been doing quite well at my recent fairs - Chipping Norton on 7 November and the Benn Hall in Rugby on 8 November. I had a new range of silver beaded charm bracelets.



This one includes beads by Helen Mitchell at http://www.lalalampworkbeads.com/.

I have also used beads by Tania Grey at www.tanofcourse.co.uk and Caroline Cash at www.craftedgems.co.uk

The next fair I have coming up is Witney, Oxfordshire on Saturday 21 November.

Gift and Treat Fair, Chipping Norton 10/10/09

I attended this fair yesterday and it was very disappointing. I made one sale which was in the last half hour of the day. This is my worse fair experience to date. I dont know whether people were just not buying or just not buying from me.

There were lots of people milling around.

Oh well, onwards and upwards as they say.

My next fair is at Langdale Hall, Witney, Oxfordshire on Saturday 24 October 2009.

Keep beading!

X-Factor

I am not really an X-Factor kinda girl - more a Strictly kinda girl LOL. However I have entered a sweepstake on Bead Buddies and I have drawn Kandy Rain - so GO GIRLS!

Forgive me!

Please forgive me for I have not blogged for ages.

I have decided to give up on Etsy and Folksy as I just dont have the time to constantly stalk the forums. This I believe is how you get your name known and get traffic to your shop. There is just so much competition on there. I have reclaimed my webshop and uploaded lots of new designs, especially bracelets.

Please take a look www.jewellerymydesign.co.uk.

I will be exhibiting at 8 Gift fairs between now and the end of the year. Mostly in Witney and Chipping Norton but also Whittlebury Hall at the beginning of December.

If you are in the area, please pop along and say hi!

What else has been happening?

Hmm well someone took money from my credit card - I urge you all if you dont already do it, check your statements thoroughly.

I have had quite a busy week this week. I have picked up quite a few commissions which is great. I made a pair of earrings for someone as a thank you from someone else and she loved her earrings so much that she wanted an ankle bracelet to match. Then her friend wanted one and now her daughter. I also have had an order from someone else who saw the original one.





I also have some other orders on the go for stitched beaded work.

I also attended my last School Governors meeting on Wednesday. I have been a school governor for the best part of the last 7 years and I felt it was time to have a break and move on to other things.

I have been featured on the Etsy Midlanders blog spot - Etsy Midlanders

The final one in the Rainbow set - this one took a bit more effort. I think it was worth it!
