Boffy Art Fair in Worcester High Street

  • Posted on October 26, 2009 at 10:32 pm

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

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.

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.

A busy day on Saturday was had by all!!

  • Posted on April 28, 2009 at 7:59 pm

Hi Everyone

Well I have had hardly any time to think let alone make jewellery. At the weekend I was in Worcester High Street with the Boffy Art Fair and was kept really busy. I was that busy on Saturday that I ran out of business cards and had to phone for some more from hubby who had to bring them in!

On Monday I picked up the remaining handmade bookmarks from a lady called Liz who belongs to a book club that had a meeting the previous week. Thanks Liz for selling so many bookmarks for me. I hope you and your friends enjoy using them!!!

Today I have been to Unity in Evesham to drop off the prom hair pins and some bracelets to include ones that men wear. They have gone down a storm and the girls from Unity have also given me some ideas for future designs. Surfer necklaces coming up!!!

I then quickly came home and made 3 more turquoise necklaces in readiness for the Spring Garden Show in Malvern before having to pick up my daughter to go to Birmingham Children’s Hospitol for a routine check on her heart. Her brother had dialated cardiomyopathy 4 years ago and she has to be checked every 18 months to see that she is ok as it is something that can run in the family. For those of you that know what DC is I am very lucky. My son made a full recovery and he is now 6 years old.

The people that work in the hospitol are fantastic but the hospitol itself is horrible and I hate going. Somebody get rid of the child’s voice in the lift telling you when you get to ground floor, level 1 or 2. She is so sad when she speaks and it always gives me the shivers.

Back to more cheerful things. Tomorrow I am meeting up with a mate of mine for chill time in the morning. I will then be coming back home and making more turquoise necklaces. They sold really well last year and I had none left. Knowing my luck I will be left with all of them this year.

On Friday I will be prepping for the weekend. I am again with the Boffy Art Fair but in Malvern High Street on Saturday and Bewdley on Sunday and Monday. If you are around please come and visit us as there are a few new artists and craft people that have joined us and their work is fantastic.

Well I’m off now – I should be putting the kids to bed and it is already 10 mins past their bedtime.

Boffy Art Fair Saturday and Sunday 25 & 26 April in Worcester High Street

  • Posted on April 23, 2009 at 9:25 pm

Hi everyone.

I thought I would let you all know that I am now going to be in Worcester High Street on Sunday as well as Saturday for the Boffy Art Fair. I love being at these fairs as it is like a big family. The creative talent is out of this world and I have to shut my eyes to stop from coming home with all the goodies that you can purchase.

Tonight has been spent sorting out what I am going to take. Tomorrow I will carry on making rings, more semi-precious turquoise necklaces, bookmarks, window charms and angel brooches.

If I get chance I will also make some sterling silver beadalon contemporary necklaces with the Swarovski Crystal. I have had the most fantastic pendants in teardrop, triangle and doughnuts arrive in colours that have hues of deep blue, sky blue and purple depending on how the light hits them. I am looking at these necklaces being my key pieces for the Spring Garden Show. That is if I haven’t already sold them!!!

Well time to get some beauty sleep. I am going to need it with the amount of art fairs I have got over the next 3 weeks. Mind you the makeup is what does the magic!! Ha Ha.

Friday and nearly the end of the school holidays!!!

  • Posted on April 17, 2009 at 9:46 am

Hi Everyone

It is nearly the end of the school holidays and although I have loved having the kids at home I am itching to get back to making more jewellery. I have got my first Art Fair next Saturday in Worcester High Street and I always panic about having enough jewellery to suit everyone. God knows why – if you want and come and see me you will find that I have got more than enough of everything.

If I get chance today I have also got to design some more bookmarks. I have a bookclub that are very interested in my designs and they are holding their meeting next week. I have got some lovely fresh green freshwater pearls that will look fantastic mixed with tibetan silver and cream freshwater pearls.

Everyone are also loving my angel designed items so I will make some bookmarks with those as well mixed with faceted amethyst and rose quartz beads.

Another idea I have come up with but will have to see how it goes is some gold lampwork hearts that have got honeybees in antique silver attached to the middle. If it works I will post this later on my blog.

Well I better go now as the kids are getting restless and we need to go hunting for some filters for the fish tank and some more plants as the fish and the snails (the bain of my life in the fish tank) are eating the plants.
