Spring time!!

Spring is in the air and I'm freezing my butt off!This weekend at Greenwich Art's and Crafts market was so cold there were no punters .Can't say I blame you .The thought of a boozy Sunday lunch followed by good Sunday afternoon movie on the settee sounds infinitely more pleasurable than damp meander around a bleak market .I'm really selling it but come this Saturday the sun will shine and a beautiful necklace around your long slender neck would be just the thing for an Easter Sunday.Failing this it will something to aspire to for hot balmy summer night-can't wait!

That Telephone!!

In my workshop today and the phone has not stopped ringing!!I work from home on the second floor the phone is on the first floor! In between making a chunky turquoise necklace I'm racing downstairs to answer the phone.Today I have been agony aunt to a distraught friend and have befriended a market researcher who valued my opinions on the Birmingham trade fair! How sad is my life! Not really it can be solitary but I wouldn't have it any other way--besides it's good exercise. I'll show you the necklace soon.

Inspiration

I've trudged london today bought silver and mused on what to make ,perused the jewellery in Topshop , and Liberty's and I feel slightly flat. I need a some inspiration or an early night! It was Greenwich Arts And Crafts Market this week-end and managed to sell all my new pieces so what to do next watch this space!!
