Yay, I have finally got the last of my August orders in the post. It's been a crazy one. After the website closed, I put aside 3 days to make and post the orders. What I was not expecting was that my van would break down leaving Conwy. The brakes failed on my new to me van. Luckily, I managed to get towed to a local garage, who managed to fix it in time for me to get to my next festival which was the VW Festival near Leeds. Thanks Morfa Garage! However, this meant an unscheduled holiday in Conwy,...

  I am back in Conwy Harbour from the 4th - 6th of August, so if you are around, pop in to see me. I loved doing Conwy Harbour in May, and I am super excited to be going back. These will also be the dates that I will open my online shop for orders. It has been a full-on summer of events for me; along with everyday life happenings and my van breaking down, I am a bit behind with work. I am just one person doing all the making and selling. So it will be a limited opening,...

It's the most exciting time of the year; after months of the cold and dark winter, being locked up and waiting, my first event of the summer season has finally arrived. It was the Thame Country Fair over the Easter weekend.

We are like one big family. It's...

Good News!!! I have finally organised my life enough to set a date for the next opening of the online shop. I will be taking orders from the 8th - 14th of April. I am adding a new collection to the website, a mixture of Prehnite stones rings and silver birch leaves, earrings and pendants. All the stone jewellery pieces are one-offs and sold as they are, as each stone is unique. But the studs will stay on the site. They will be added to the made-to-order jewellery collection whenever I open the shop. In the last couple of months,...

The list on the EVENTS page is up, but I expect to add to it, especially in October and November. This time of year is a pretty manic time for applying for festivals and fairs. Some have already closed their applications for next year, and others have yet to announce when their applications will open. So as each event says YES, I have to decide whether to do that or wait for a better response.  2023 looks to be a busy year. I have already said yes to the same number of events as I did in 2022. This year...
