St William's College Craft Fair


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 to have this beautiful bay window behind us, along with what looked like a piece of the Minster topped with church candles! It was all very atmospheric and when I arrived on Sunday morning before opening time it was so quiet, I kept imagining what it would be like 'back in time'. A really lovely venue.

Customise your own!

Inspired: Scilly have just introduced an exciting new element to their wire-knit range! Customers can now design their own wire-knit ring. Make your purchase as usual. You'll then be directed back to the same page where you fill in a form of choices. Choose the colour of the wire, seed beads and a focal/feature bead! Click here to have a look at the colour options on offer (we'll be expanding these in the near future). Some of our favourite ideas are a 'Be a Little Shellfish' ring to match the bracelet of the same name ( example pictured above ) or a Jetsam ring, again matching our Jetsam bracelet . Have fun getting creative!

Time flies!

Oops! I can't believe it's a year since I posted on this blog! I was just thinking about my holiday memories from this year's trip to Scilly and logged on to post a few pics only to find myself looking at those from last year... Still, it's great to be reminded of that holiday too! This year we were lucky enough to see the Red Arrows for the first time flying over the islands at the first Islands Regatta... Another first was seeing the new Pot Buoys Gallery (formerly the Bulb Shop) on St Agnes and getting to meet the lovely Emma who took over from Mandy Pearce. Emma has done an amazing job in revamping the shop into a gorgeous gallery and I'm very proud to have my jewellery there amongst so many talented artists and makers. Here are a few photos to give you a taste of the new gallery. So many gorgeous things to buy! My jewellery is hanging in the window in that lovely bauble! Emma is a very talented artist herself (you can buy her...
