Icy Cornish Weather

I'd like to thank everyone who came to visit Liskeard yesterday, I had a good day despite the icy Cornish weather (i had 5 layers on with scarf, gloves and knee high boots and i was still cold!)
and I'm looking forward to going back again on Saturday 18th December for the Christmas Market, if you're near liskeard that day pop up to the cattle market to pick up some lovely unusual christmas presents from one of the local craft/market stalls, its free parking after 1pm in Liskeard town car park and doesnt cost too much to park before that.
If you aren't near Liskeard or Cornwall you can still purchase gift sets from my Christmas range, I've just listed a few online, they come presented in lovely gift boxes ready to be given as presents or if you want a pretty boxed treat for yourself :-)

Bit behind the rest of the world :)

Sad to admit i know but i'm a bit behind the rest of the world :)
I finally got round to watching twilight a couple weeks ago while i sat down for an evening making jewellery, although i have to say i didn't get much jewellery made, i absolutely loved the film and recorded new moon on sky+ which i watched the other night, yet again not getting much work done that evening either lol! I was completely glued to the screen, why didn't i get around to watching it before?
Its inspired me to come up with a vamp range, hopefully in time for the dvd release of eclipse next month (which i cannot wait for!!) so watch this space for vampire inspired jewellery!
I suppose 1 good thing about me being way behind the trends is i got to watch the first 2 films in the saga within a week of each other and now i've only got to wait about 3 weeks for the next instalment :)

Lots of New Designs & A Special Offer

Hi
I've had a nice week whilst its been raining heavy outside i've been sat indoors by the fire, nice and warm making lots of new designs, It's the one thing i like about winter, getting cosy indoors with a mug of hot white chocolate and making a mess getting beads all over the house lol!
This week I've made some more long necklaces in a range of completly different colours and materials - from semi-precious gemstones to funky glass swirl beads and fire-polished czech beads!
I've  also made a start on my Christmas range, with a few christmas charm bookmarks, Phone charms and bag charms. I figured as the shops on the highstreet have had christmas stock in for weeks and weeks its not too early to start putting my christmas jewellery and accessories onto my online shops.

As a Thank you for following my blog/being a fan of my facebook page i would like to give you all a Special Offer
**Spend £5 or more in either of my online shops before Halloween and i'll pop a free pair of handmade earrings worth £3 or more into your parcel***

Getting Colder

As winters drawing in and its getting cold enough to wear jumpers i've started making longer necklaces so you can still wear your favourite jewellery designs over your nice warm jumpers.
The first in my new unique range is a lovely 22 inch long semi-precious haematite and blue beads necklace set http://www.folksy.com/items/905537-Haematite-Blue-Beaded-Necklace-Set?shop=yes
comes with matching memory wire bracelet and earrings.
I will be creating more autumn/winter long necklaces in the coming weeks and will post them as soon as they're finished, so watch this space!

Don't forget i make unique beaded jewellery - so each jewellery item is one of a kind! I never make 2 exactly the same so you won't see anyone wearing the same jewellery as you!

Very Excited

just booked my first proper Craft Fair for Saturday 31st July at Liskeard! only a couple weeks away, very exciting, going to busy over the next two weeks making lots of new creations, got loads of ideas - childrens jewellery, gift sets, more beach themed designs... so many ideas racing around my head! i want to make as much as possible so my table looks very interesting and there is plenty to choose from, kinda something for everyone, if i can manage to make it all :)
All comments and advice welcome - what would you buy most (jewellery/accessories) at a local craft fair? what do you like to see? any hints as its my first craft fair?
I'm trying to be organised, just ordered some funky carrier bags as i know its annoying when you buy something and have to carry it in your hand for the afternoon if it wont fit in your handbag (anything like mine, i can only fit my phone, purse and car keys lol)
