Earring Survives A Month Outside!

I made a pair of Little Gem Amethyst earrings to give to my Mum on Mother's day. 

She had been wearing them a lot but discovered that one had gone missing whilst wearing it and we couldn't find it. I made her another earring to replace it.  This was at the beginning of May.  Well, today she found the earring she lost outside whilst gardening! Amazingly, after a month in the elements, all the beads are still attached and apart from looking a little tarnished, it's survived very well. 

Quite a good (accidental) experiment to test the durability of my handmade jewellery!

Handm@de Oxford

I'm so excited to have a table at the Handm@de Craft Show at Oxford Town Hall on 29th November. Check out the Handm@de Oxford website for details of the fair.  

After my first craft fair last week, I've got plenty of ideas for the Handm@de fair. I've got lots of things to sort out so it's a good job I've got plenty of time to plan!

First Craft Fair

My first craft fair was today - the Ladyfest Crafternoon at St Peters College in Oxford. It was a lovely afternoon. There were only about a dozen craft tables so a small event but it was perfect for my first craft fair and gave me a chance to try out different things for my stall. I now have a better idea what works and what I could do differently next time. I also made some sales which was wonderful. Here's a pic of me and my craft stand.

 

Wedding Collection

I've recently added a wedding collection of beautiful, yet affordable, handmade jewellery to my website. Everything is priced as I would price my other jewellery. I haven't increased any prices just because it's a wedding collection and many of the items could be worn for other special occasions.

Moo Mini Cards

Got some gorgeous Moo mini cards made with photos of my jewellery to hand out at craft fairs etc. Here's a photo of them!

Ladyfest Oxford Crafternoon - 23 May 09

I have my first craft fair coming up in a couple of weeks! It's a crafternoon - what a fab word! Here are the details:

Ladyfest Oxford Crafternoon, Saturday 23 May
St Peter's College, New Inn Hall Street, Oxford
14:00

There will be stalls for local crafters - look out for Polly's Dolly. There will also be workshops and a cake sale to raise money for charity.

Really looking forward to it!

More handbag charms!

I'm really enjoying making handbag charms! Here are some I made this weekend so will hopefully be adding these to the website soon.
