Inspired: Scilly

Another horribly overdue post for this blog...! I guess I was reminded by the fact that I'm already busy making for Christmas craft fairs so, before I forget, here are the events we're going to be exhibiting at this year: 24th October - 23rd November:  Just Makers Christmas Crafts in the Bath House at RHS Harlow Carr. 18th - 19th November: York Christmas Fair at Skelton Garden Centre. 2nd December: Christmas Fair at Tithe Barn, Nether Poppleton, York. Our work also continues to be available at Just Makers in the Castle Courtyard at Ripley and at Pot Buoys Gallery on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly where our Christmas tree earrings will be a new addition this year. You can also purchase direct via www.etsy.com/shop/inspiredscilly or by messaging via Facebook at www.facebook.com/inspiredscilly .

We're getting into the Christmas spirit now having had Christmas craft fairs to attend every week and less than 3 weeks to go until the big day! If you're looking for a little inspiration for the lady who has everything, why not purchase something unique and handmade? Here are just a few ideas from our Christmas collection of sparkly stocking fillers... Swarovski Crystal Christmas Tree Earrings... A sophisticated new colourway - jet and crystal All that is gold, does not glitter.. but these do!  Lit up like a Christmas Tree! You don't get more classic Christmas than red and green!  One of our most popular - we've named this one Mistletoe!

Available in clear or iridescent clear (as pictured) Just a few ideas to inspire you. Available to purchase at www.etsy.com/shop/inspiredscil...

We're going to be busy this season so here's a list of all the Christmas Craft Markets we will be attending this year: Just Makers Christmas Craft Exhibition (7th-23rd November) A two-week event housed in the beautiful Bath House at RHS Harlow Carr in Harrogate. In honour of our garden-themed location, we will be bringing along our fabulous floral rings and some sparkly Christmas tree earrings.

A few photos from the first Christmas craft fair of the year that I attended at St William's College in York. I'll be uploading more photos of my Swarovski Crystal Christmas Trees to this blog in due course but in the meantime, head over to my facebook page to have a look at the full range! A lovely new colour this year - light metallic gold. Knitted wire brooches adorned with crystals looking good on my lovely wicker pieces from Scilly Socks at the Porthloo Studios, St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. Swarovski Crystal Christmas trees dazzling all the customers! Sold a brooch very similar to this one to a lovely Irish lady - love the colours which have a Christmas feel with the gold and silver and look quite vintage at the same time. Can you see the little crystal star? The following pictures are of the venue last weekend - the beautiful 15th century St William's College which was originally a school for Minster priests. We were lucky enough...
