Good Luck everyone!

New Banner

I decided it was about time to have a more professional looking banner at my Misi shop. As I am no computer whiz, I enlisted the help of Misi's Emma. I didn't give her much guidance apart from the colour Purple (my favourite colour), font and name and this is what she has come up with which I think is lovely. So much so I have changed my Blog to it, to promote it!

If you would like to see it on the shop take a peek here

New listings at last!!!

Have eventually got around to listing some new items on my sites this morning. Just seem to have been so busy with the end of term activities that haven't had a chance to do it before.

A couple of different turquoise bracelets.

Some dainty Aqua heart earrings.

My favourite colour purple and this has some wonderful lampwork beads in it.

Some more wonderful lampwork beads this time in a pistachio colour with a pink and blue flower pattern.

These can all be found on http://www.fairlygirly.com/ or http://www.misi.co.uk/store_info.php?user_id=737.

Thanks for looking.

Crafting in the Sun!

I have two fetes coming up over the next couple of weekends and thought I had better get busy making a few new items. As the weather today was so nice I took the opportunity to set up on a table in the garden! Here is a few of the items I made:-

I really love the greens in this necklace and made some earrings to match!

Then I used some more beautiful lampwork beads to make this unusual colour necklace, purples and oranges.

Back to greens again!

I am going to try and update my website and Misi store, which I have to say have been a bit neglected of late.......just don't seem to have enough time at the moment.....the busy schedule of a working mum!!!

For anyone who may be interested the fetes I will be at are:-

St Georges School, Northam, Sat 27 June 2 - 4.30pm

Littleham Village Fete, Sat 4 July from 2pm

Craft Fair at Torrington 1646

Today I have done my first craft fair of the year at Torrington 1646.

This is what their website says about the attraction.

"Great Torrington is particularly famous for the Battle of Torrington in 1646 when, in the English Civil War, the Parliamentarians under Sir Thomas Fairfax, swept into the town and defeated Lord Hopton and his men, marking the end of Royalist resistance in the West-Country.
The Torrington 1646 tourist attraction was set up as part of the Community Development Trust’s Genesis Project and opened in 1999 to bring to life the fascinating and colourful history of Great Torrington. Over the years it has evolved into what is now an almost entirely self-sustaining (2004 posted its first significant profit) and highly successful visitor attraction."

Whilst I had booked a table inside I decide to go outside as the weather was dry. It did nearly rain at one point but held off with only the wind to contend with.

This is an image from last years show as I forgot to take my camera!

The show apparently was quiet to previous years but I was happy with the amount I took.
