Hi Everyone
Thought I should let you know that there is a very happy lady called Madalaine in Berkshire who at this moment has a Swarovski crystal necklace on its way to her.
I have had another look at the weather forecast for Malvern tomorrow. When I am setting up for Boffy Art Fairs it is going to be minus 3 degrees. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. So 4 pairs of socks – check; fleecy trousers – check; skirt (my warmest one – check; 4 tops – check; a vibrant jade fleece – check and what do you get? Mitchelin Man – hee hee hee. At least I will be warm???? Minus 3 degrees.
Joking aside it is one of the best shows of the year as it is Christmas. Hope to see you there. Now I am off to go and hunt down all my gloves. I wonder how many pairs I can put on my hands? Could be going for the world record.
Hi Everyone
I have just taken a quick 10 minute break to update my blog.
On Saturday will be the last Saturday before Christmas day and my last event of the year. I will be in the Priory grounds in Malvern with Boffy Art Fairs.
Brrrrrrrrr its going to be cold and snow is forecast but at least it will feel like Christmas. Of all the shows with Boffy Art Fairs this is one of my favourites as it does make you feel like it is Christmas. There is always a good feel to the Christmas Arts Market with lots of bantering between the stall holders and the customers.
I have got some even more exciting news as well. I decided to show my artwork to Tiger Arts Gallery in Malvern. Yes….. in my spare time……. what’s that? I paint and draw with pen and ink drawings and modern abstract art canvasses. They loved my work so much that I will actually be having an exhibition of my artwork in the new year some time around Spring. So there was me thinking of having a quiet break in January and now I will be painting and drawing. I am really excited about it and a bit nervous. Never done anything like this before but hey going to give it my best.
Well back to designing more jewellery and if you fancy finnishing off your last minute shopping or in some men’s cases…… starting their Christmas shopping (hee hee hee) come and see me in Malvern on the last shopping Saturday before Christmas.

Hi Everyone
This time of the year is so busy but I love it. I was in Malvern on Saturday with Boffy Arts and it was great fun. Next time we are in Malvern will be Saturday 19 December. The last Saturday before Xmas….. yikes!
Last week I also had a new range of chokers used in a fashion shoot for a gothic vampire theme. I cannot wait to see the photos from Alex from Studio3Photography and how the model looks with the makeup being done by Iain Burton-Legge.
Iain is a highly experienced make-up artist designer and has worked in the industry for over twenty years. He is based in LONDON and the MIDLANDS and has done work with photographer Peter Ashworth and fashion design company Velvet Ink Design. Since then he has worked with some of the most prestigious names in the business, Chanel, Dior and Revlon and has directed on fashion shoots in the UK and the Continent.
As you can tell I CANNOT wait to see the photos and will post them on my blog as soon as I have them.
Also today I have visited Tiger Arts Gallery in Malvern and I am really really excited as my jewellery will be exhibited this Saturday. Tiger Arts Gallery displays modern art, not necessarily abstract but definitely from the 21st century. The gallery is dedicated to local artists and I am pleased to be able to join them with a wide range of work by some excellent artists. If you are in Malvern please go and see them at 271c Worcester Road or visit their website www.tigerarts.co.uk. You will not be disappointed.
Well I am off again now to design bracelets as they seem to be really popular this year.

Hi Everyone
What a busy weekend I have had. The Worcester Victorian Fayre started on Thursday at 4 in the afternoon and it was really festive with carol singing, people drinking mulled wine and eating hot chestnuts. My team and I were also kept busy with all the customers buying my range of jewellery with my bookmarks again being a popular choice of present.
Next Saturday I am going to be in Malvern High Street with the Boffy Art Fair and will be kept busy all this week designing a new range of Swarovski Crystal necklaces and rings as they also went down a storm at the Worcester Victorian Fayre.
Well bye for now as I need to crack on with the designing and if you are out and about next Saturday in Malvern come and say hello.
Continue reading A very busy weekend at the Worcester Victorian Fayre
Well it is that time of year again when everything starts to become festive and what better way to start off your Christmas shopping than to visit the Worcester Victorian Fayre.
Come and see me in Friar Street with the rest of the team from Boffy Arts. The Fayre is held over 4 days and starts at 4 pm on Thursday 26 November and ends at 5 pm on Sunday 29 November.
Worcester Christmas Fayre is the leading themed street market in the West Midlands. Hundreds of stalls fill the atmospheric streets of Worcester’s historic heart with the colours, sounds and smells of Christmas. Explore the wonderful range of merchandise on offer in the city on the market stalls and in the city’s exceptional range of shops, both unique independently owned boutiques and all the High Street names you would expect to find in a thriving county town.
Looking forward to seeing you all.

Hi Guys
I have been really busy designing my new range for Xmas.
Yesterday I visited Alex at Studio3Photography in Evesham. He is such a talented guy with all sorts of photography projects on the go. One day he is at a wedding in a mineshaft – yes you heard me right – a couple got married in a mine and then the next day he is photographing a fashion shoot for Mint Lingerie.
Alex is also a web designer and is currently designing the new website for them. Mint Lingerie by the way is an exclusive designer real silk underwear range that is really luxurious. Go and have a look at their website www.mintlingerie.com. Treat yourself or a loved one for Xmas – you will not be disappointed. The model was really pleased as not only did she get to show off the silk underwear range but my jewellery range as well.
I am so excited and pleased with how One of a Kind is progressing forwards. Here are a couple of photos from my new range:
You will find this designer classic under the Swarovski Crystal Necklace section.
Again another classic pendant which can be found under the Swarovski Crystal Necklace section.
Well back to designing more jewellery. The next month is going to be absolutely manic especially with the Worcester Victorian Fayre starting on Thursday 26 November in Worcester. I will give more details about that in a future post.
Bye for now I am off to design more jewellery…..

Hi everyone
If you are out and about in Worcester this coming Friday and Saturday come and say hello. Boffy Art Fair will be in Worcester High Street.
I have been busy designing a fantastic new range of jewellery especially for men. I will be taking that with me to the art fair.
Tomorrow I will be visiting Cutting Edge in Worcester with more stock and to say hello to the stylists and if I get chance later on in the week I will be going to say hi to everyone at Fusion.
It is the sprout season now and Fusion have a wonderful Sprout Cake – yes you heard me right – can’t wait to try it. They also have a fantastic sprout fritter as a starter. My friends have tried the cake and the fritters and love it but I haven’t had chance yet. Even if you do not like sprouts the cake and the fritters will convert you.
Well off again now as going to chill before early night to bed. All this designing is very exhausting – but I would not have it any other way.
Bye for now.
Hi Guys
Well it is competition time again! As my jewellery has just gone into Cutting Edge in Reindeer Court, Worcester, I thought it would be a great idea to give you the opportunity to win a designer Swarovski Crystal Sterling Silver Necklace worth £45.00. I have got a fantastic range of Swarovski Crystal necklaces in Cutting Edge to include a superb amber Swarovski crystal leaf pendant. I have also got the most stunning range of semi-precious stone jewellery with all the meanings for each individual piece so you will have loads of fun browsing. You have just got to go and have a look and whilst you are there, why not have a brand new look and have your hair re-designed by one of the many talented stylists in the salon.
Now back to the competition. I need say no more but to show you the necklace. Here it is:
I have also been busy looking towards the future and have found an extremely talented photographer called Alex at Studio3Photography, Evesham. Just look at what he has photographed so far which I will be using in the future for editorials for magazines.
The Swarovski crystal ring will shortly be on my website for sale at £29.99 within the next couple of days.
Well back to work now and hope you enjoy browsing on my brand new look website – I said I had been busy……….
Hi Guys
I am so sorry it has been a long time since my last blog.
I have had a really hectic summer trying to fit in 2 young active children and art events around the Worcestershire area.
Where do I start?
Well again Steve Boffy Art fairs have been at their best and I have enjoyed being in Worcester city centre in the summertime and also Kidderminster and Malvern. On the 26 September I will be at the Autumn Garden Show in Malvern and I have been busy designing leaf enspired jewellery.
As well as that I have had a number of magazines contact me to feature my jewellery in. To name but a few there has been Vogue OMG…………….. and Tatler. I am really excited about this but need to look at financing this for next year.
Locally it has also been a successful summer with Fusion having a fun time selling my jewellery and with me keeping up with the demand.
and last but not least……………… I am going to be in to Cutting Edge in Raindear Court, Worcester as from 3 October. I am really excited about this and will be designing a really special range of semi-precious stone jewellery that will have the details of the stones and their meanings along side the jewellery.
and to keep all you guys happy here is a picture of my latest designer jewellery using Keishi Freshwater Pearls.
