Giveaway

Good morning, I said on Friday that I would host another giveaway this week and here it is.  This necklace has attracted a lot of attention at my stall on Sundays so I thought it would be a perfect gift to one of you.  You can see more images and details here.

To enter, please leave me a comment (about anything) on this post and I will pick a winner at random when the competiton closes next Wednesday 23rd June.  Now I am not the bestest blogger in the world but if you are interested in the goings on of my little jewellery label please feel free to subscribe and read my ramblings on a regular basis.

P.S a special thankyou to to Charlotte from Housewife Chic for stopping by my stall on Sunday to say hello.  It was very lovely to meet you and your family.

Happy Friday Folks

Just thought I'd share my first (of hopefully many) bit of press coverage.  My Large Leaf Pendant is featured in the July issue of She magazine!  Yey!

Also, a while ago I did an interview for the lovely Jessica from The Embellished Life, go and have a nosey if you like.  Unfortunately the giveaway to go with the interview has ended, but next week I will hosting one of my own so keep your eyes peeled.

Aaannnnd, the Sunday Upmarket has continued to be a success so touch wood I will be there every Sunday now.  Stop by and say hello if you're in the area.

Have a lovely weekend xxx

Sunday Upmarket Second Day

Morning, I hope you all had a wonderful bank holiday weekend despite the miserable weather.  I hear Sunday was sunny but I wouldn't know as I had my second go at the Sunday Upmarket off Brick Lane.  It was sooo much better than last time so i'm very glad I gave it a second chance.

I met and chatted to some lovely people both customers and other stall holders which made the day whizz by and I got a massive boost every time someone left my stall with a purchase.

 

As you can see I made a few changes to my display,  I made some boards to hang my jewellery on and bought some busts which were originally a horrible white leatherette so I covered them.  I also made a few new pieces which I absolutely love and hope to get them on the website over the next couple of weeks.

Thank you to all the friendly faces that came by my stall with kind words and exchanged your pennies for my work.  I went home with a big smile on my face and it was all down to you guys.  I will be there again this Sunday so I hope to see many more of you.

Do you think my display is better this time around?  What did you do over the weekend?

Sunday Upmarket First Day

Hello, I've been feeling guilty all week for not posting these photos but after all the hard work it took to get ready for the market I've been exhausted, and I had major wisdom tooth pain!

So here I am setting up, I dragged my boyfriend along to help with the first one as I didn't know how long it would take and how being only 5"1 I was going to get that fabric over the shell!  He's 6"3 so no problem for him.

Can you see where my inspiration tallies up with the last post?

You may also notice my charity shop finds being used.

I kind of underestimated the size of the table, it was huge, so my dainty jewellery did well to attract peoples attention.  

If i'm honest the day didn't go quite as well as hoped, it could have been due to many reasons (I blame the weather myself, it was horrible that day) but I took lots of positive ideas to try out the next time.  I'm not going to take it personally because I didn't see anyone particularly doing that well.  I guess that's just how it goes, some days are good, some are bad.

What do you think of the set-up?  Please be as critical as you like, it all helps.  I'm thinking it needs bigger display boards at the back to get rid of all that empty space.  I also need extra lighting, can you think of anything else?

Sunday Upmarket Stall Display

Clockwise from top left lace curtains, floral bows, doily diy, mirror, posy's sofa, bird embroidery

To date I've only taken part in one small craft show which I loved doing so thought I'd aim a bit higher and see what happens, soooo as of this Sunday I will have a stall at the Sunday Upmarket off Brick Lane.  I'm very excited to see my customers in the flesh and gauge all your reactions. 

It's a much bigger stall with an ugly metal frame so I want to make it look beautiful and feminine to represent my jewellery.  I have a few ideas up my sleeve which I won't tell you about just yet, I want it to be a surprise.  Many of them came from the inspiring images above which I have been collecting.  Maybe you can imagine what it will look like.

If you can make it, come by and say hello, i'd love to hear your thoughts.

Soft and Pretty

 I'm going to get an early night as I have a massive headache but wanted to share these pretty images with you first.  They are so soft and beautiful and calming  which is good after a busy day.  I hope you enjoy them.

weekend purchases

Hello, welcome back to the working week, I hope you all enjoyed your weekends.  I had a lovely time with my uni girls up in Birmingham, not quite sure if I've recovered from lack of sleep yet but hey ho. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a photo of of us all (too much chatter made the days fly by and I forgot) so I thought I'd share my purchases with you instead.

We went charity shop shopping on Saturday and I found this gorgeous platter to display my jewellery on.

I also found this book which is so beautiful.  It's all worn and faded with yellowed pages, I love the New Forest too so had to get it.

This dress was from Urban Outfitters, it was in the sale and was one of those instant 'i'm going to buy this' purchases which doesn't happen an awful lot with me.

So that's it, thanks girls for a fun filled weekend and to Becky for being such a great host.  You looked after us well!

 

Oh PS spot the bird, remember  Claire Coles who I mentioned in this post.  Well she and I swapped treasures, the above bird brooch for my Aztec Ring.  I love mine and attached it to my bag straight away.  I hope you like yours too Claire.
