Winter Pansies.

I'm busy making jewellery for Christmas sales at the moment but I have just added this set to my Etsy shop.

Another Treasury and some new beads.

I managed to grab another Treasury West for the Frithappens Team.


If you want to see more work from members of the UK lampwork forum then go to Etsy and search using the tag fhfteam, lots of lovely beads and jewellery.

Talking of beads I added some more to my Etsy shop yesterday.

Etsy Treasury.

I managed to grab a Treasury slot on Etsy and picked a selection of work from various members of the UK lampworkers forum, Frit Happens. Please take a look, there is a great selection of different work.

Golden Brown Treasury

Normal Service will be resumed....

I'm back from the Big Bead Show and with beads to list. I will be adding sets to my Etsy shop over the next few days. In fact there are two new sets already.


The Big Bead Show was great, I could have spent a fortune but I limited myself to a couple of strings of pearls....and the inevitable bundle of glass. I was pleased with my sales. I'm not about to retire on the proceeds but I got over the target I had mentally set as the difference between being pleased and being disappointed so I am keen to book some more bead shows. I met lots of nice people, some I already knew and others for the first time.

Back to work now, as well as listing sets on Etsy I need to make up some jewellery ready for the run up to Christmas. I have also promised to take out a few days to decorate the bigger bedroom that used to be my son's so that Phoebe can move in there. She is in the small box room at the moment and it is rather overflowing!

Big Bead Fair.

Apologies for the lack of posts here. I have been very busy with Somerset Arts Week, actually a fortnight, and more recently preparing for this Saturday's Big Bead Show at Sandown Park in Surrey.

Here is a glimpse of one of the new style sets I will have with me there.

Back from holiday.

Is it really that long since I posted here? Must try harder in future.

Well, we just got back from our holiday. We rented an apartment at Charlecote Park a beautiful National Trust property set in lovely gardens and a landscaped deer park. It was very nice looking out over the croquet pitch at deer grazing beside the river Avon! Back to reality now. Here are a few pictures though.









I'd highly recommend the National Trust holiday cottages, we have stayed in a couple and have really enjoyed them.

Etsy Treasury.

I managed to grab a Treasury slot on Etsy. I've included lots of organic style lampwork from UK beadmakers, some of it made up by some of the best jewellery makers around.

Take a look.
