Summer Sale – Swarovski Crystal Shell Pendant

  • Posted on August 5, 2009 at 7:13 pm

Hi Everyone

I still have not caught up with all the ironing – nothing is drying in this horrible weather we are having. However I have been informed that the next few days will be Summer again.

On this note I have decided to put my really special Swarovski Crystal Shell Pendant necklace set in my SALE section.

This necklace set is now only £79.96 and an absolute bargain for that special designer summer necklace.

Once the rest of the washing has dried and been ironed I will be on the case for a new competition. Remember to let me know if they is anything special that you would like and you never know it might be in my new competition!!!!

Bye for now……

Winner of Swarovski Crystal Heart Necklace

  • Posted on August 1, 2009 at 7:33 pm

Hi Everyone

I have just got back from a 2 week holiday with the family in Egypt. Fantastic snorkelling in the red sea.

Now I am back and the weather is appalling. I am now thinking I will be rusting rather than bronzing with all the rain we have had today!

Well once I have done the pile of washing and ironing – aftermath of going on holiday I will be back to designing some more jewellery for you and organising another competition.

The Swarovski Heart Pendant caused alot of interest.

Jackie from Wakefield won the necklace and was really delighted. These are the comments she left on my customer feedback:

Received my prize (Sterling Silver Swarovski Crystal Heart Necklace) this morning. Many thanks for the speedy dispatch. I am not usually a fan of silver jewellery but this may just have produced a convert – it is beautiful. Thanks for a great site and wonderful competition prize.

As this competition was so successful I am thinking about designing something again with Swarovski. If any of you have a certain desire to wear a necklace with Swarovski please email your wishes to me and I will see what I can do for you and design it for my competition.

Bye for now – off to do the ironing!!! yuck yuck and more yuck……………

Whew What a Busy Week!!!!

  • Posted on July 3, 2009 at 12:10 pm

Hi Everyone

It has been so busy over the last few days.

First of all I was at the Upton Jazz Festival from Friday through to Sunday. Fantastic music with a mixed bag of weather ranging from weather warnings for thunder storms on Friday (didn’t I know about that – I forgot to take my wellies!!!) and heatwaves by Sunday.

Steve Boffy who organises the Boffy Art Fairs is a talanted man because not only does he help support the local arts and crafts community but he also organises events with musicians. Steve was running the ‘Best of Young Jazz’ and he also did all the fundraising for it.

The project involved over 200 young musicians in school master-classes with professional Jazz musicians, auditions across the county and a venue that gave many young people their first opportunity to share their talent with the public. The whole project has been heralded as a huge success and plans are now being discussed to continue the project in the future.

After the Jazz Festival I then had a Ladies in Business event at the Convent School in Worcester on Wednesday where I was an exhibitor. I have attended all of the events held by Ladies in Business and from all of the networking events I have been to I look forward the most to these as they are so friendly and relaxed. My exhibition was a huge success and I am looking forward to the next event in October.

Well I better be off now as I literally have got to go to the Grange School in Worcester for the two day Summer Fayre.

Networking Event at the Award Winning Fusion in Stoulton

  • Posted on June 14, 2009 at 4:32 pm

Hi Everyone

Since my last blog I have been ill in bed. These nasty viruses that the kids give us. I have had flu like symptons so have not been anywhere near the workshop.

Well I am hoping to be on the mend now as next Tuesday 16 June there is going to be a fantastic opportunity to meet fellowlike business people at a networking event at Fusion.

Worcester Pages are holding the event at Fusion. They should be really pleased with the venue they are holding it at as Fiorinda and Felice have just won two fantastic awards from Visit Worcester. The first award being the best Eat and Drink Worcestershire category and another award for their Outstanding Contribution.

Well done Fiorinda and Felice you definately deserve it as your food is sublime and the warm welcome you always get is outstanding too.

Well I am off now to see the lovely weather we have got outside. I have not seen much of it due to this pesky virus!!!

Summer Holidays Here We Come!

  • Posted on June 11, 2009 at 10:13 am

Hi Everyone

Well I have had a really busy week again.

I have made a necklace to die for!!! It is perfect for your holidays. Go and have a look at www.oneofakind.org.uk and look up Swarvoski Shell Pendant with fresh water pearls under the Swarovski Necklace Set section.

I posted this blog earlier and I have had a problem with putting the picture on my blog and my tech guy is away at the moment so you will have to visit the website – sorry……………………

Bascially it is a fantastic Swarovski crystal shell pendant which has been surrounded by fresh water pearls and more Swarovski crystal. The chain used is made up of 49 strands of sterling silver which have been woven together and coated in nylon to give suppleness and strength which has then been finished off with sterling silver findings. It is really worth your while going to have a look at this necklace.

I adore this necklace and you are all luckly I have not decided to keep it for myself!

Earlier on this week I visited Fusion – they keep on selling loads of One of a Kind jewellery – Well done Abi!!!

I also visited Emerald Grove in Malvern. It is just a delight to go into this shop as it is such an Alladin’s cave full of handmade crafts and local arts. The pictures are a real treat to look at in this shop and are reasonably priced as well. If you are visiting Malvern make sure this is a shop to visit as you will not be dissappointed.

Well off now to paint a canvas – yes you read right. I also do art and have been asked to do a huge canvas by my friend Ailsa. Hope she likes it when I have finished it.

New Competition to win a Swarovski Crystal Heart Necklace

  • Posted on June 8, 2009 at 2:19 pm

Hi Everyone

Well I will keep it simple. Here is the new necklace for my competition.

Swarovski crystal heart necklace

For all those romantic people out there this is a very special necklace. The heart is a real Swarovski crystal pendant which has been AB coated. This has been enhanced with additional Swarovski crystal beads which have been AB coated suspended on sterling silver wire measuring 16 inches. As I am a perfectionist I have used the best sterling silver wire available which is sterling silver 49 Beadalon wire for its strength and suppleness. The AB coating gives off glorious hues of amber, pink and blue. With the sterling silver heart extender it measures 18 inches. All the findings are sterling silver.

Good luck in winning this stunning piece of jewellery!!!!

Hi Everyone

Again it has been a really busy week. Fusion at Stoulton are selling my jewellery like hotcakes at the moment (excuse the hotcakes pun – their food is fantastic) and a big thank you to Fi and Abbi for selling it for me.

On Thursday this week I have got a golfing event at the Upper Sapey Golf Club. The event is being held in aid of Cancer so hopefuly alot of funds will be raised for them.

I have just received a consignment of faceted turquoise, rose quartz and amethyst and the quality of the stones is to die for. I will be busy later on designing necklaces with them to take to the show. I will also put some pictures on my blog later on as well for you to see.

I have also added new surfer necklaces to my on line shop and if you are interested please go and have a look under necklaces – semi-precious stones. They are just the necklace to wear with the Summer now well and truly here.

I have also been busy designing dragonfly pendants in my long range of necklaces. Go and have a browse I am sure there is something I can tempt you with.

Surfer necklaces now at Unity in Evesham

  • Posted on May 24, 2009 at 6:39 pm

Hi Everyone

Sorry it’s been a long time with my new blog. After the Spring Garden Show I had to get cracking with designing new jewellery as so much was sold.

This week I have been really busy and I have been to Naturally Gifted in Worcester, Ki Beauty in Worcester, Fusion in Stoulton and Unity in Evesham. Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All that jewellery.

I am really pleased with my jewellery that I have made. Naturally Gifted and Fusion have got some fantastic new extra long necklaces with silver wired hearts with honeybees and dragonflies suspended from them and on popular request, I have made surfer necklaces for my outlet in Unity. I have mixed tibetan silver with onyx, turquoise, hematite, shell to name but a few. The staff were really pleased with what I designed and I know that a couple of the necklaces went down so well their customers are not going to get a look in.

It’s half term next week so I have got a week with the children arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. At least the weather has improved so we can go out.

Well bye for now…..

Yipeeeeeeeeeee! Best Ever Sales at Spring Garden Show in Malvern

  • Posted on May 11, 2009 at 1:39 pm

Hi Everyone

I have just had the most fantastic weekend at the RHS Spring Garden Show in Malvern!

I was right next to the exhibitors gardens. Before going to the show I saw the gardens on Gardeners World and thought they looked fantastic, however when you are actually there, they look even better. The colours of the flowers and the textures all mixed together were out of this world.

Also for once the weather was not too bad either. It was a bit windy on Saturday and my business cards made nice confetti floating in the wind but on Sunday the skies were blue and the wind for once had gone to sleep. I couldn’t do the Thursday and the Friday due to having children commitments but talking to the other artists Friday was extremely windy and fun was had by all keeping their wares on the tables!

I must say a big thank you to Steve Boffy who runs Boffy Art Fairs. You can always rely on him. You turn up to whatever fair he is organising and you know you are going to be looked after and that your table is ready to set up with the jewellery. It was also great to have a Pims on Saturday night and get a chance to meet the rest of the team. Thanks Steve.

Right now back to the jewellery. I love meeting everyone and gauge what people think of my jewellery. It was also great to meet people who bought my jewellery last year at the show and had come back to buy more. I must be doing something right!!!

I was rushed off my feet all day on Saturday and went home a very tired but happy person as my sales had reached the best ever for a day out with Boffy Art Fairs. Sunday was also fantastic as well and I also managed to get a bit of a suntan.

Well I cannot relax just yet as my next event is going to be a jewellery night at Cliff hotel in Ludlow. I need to ring up and find out if I have to do a speech on the night. Yikes – not done a speech yet at an event but all of you that know me know that I can talk the hind leg of a donkey so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Well I better go and sort out my stock and make loads more now as so many of you at the Malvern Show went home with some of my jewellery.

Bye for now.
