Beginning of Summer - Thame Country Fair
It's the most exciting time of the year; after months of the cold and dark winter, being locked up and waiting, my first event of the summer season has finally arrived. It was the Thame Country Fair over the Easter weekend. I cleaned out my van, ran around the house 100 times trying not to forget anything and drove two and a half hours to Thame, just outside of Oxford. Setting up - Catching up with friends This is my third year of events, so I know so many of the other traders. We are like one big family. It's...
2022 Round-Up
Phew!!! What another crazy year that was. After all the craziness of the pandemic years, we have started getting ourselves back to some kind of norm. It's definitely different from before when I was trading in Camden Market. I think I have officially left there now, which seems crazy to me.

Reopening my Online Store for 3 Days Only, 26th-28th July
Hi Everyone,
Sorry about the radio silence, it has been a crazy, but good year.
I have been away at festivals and shows across the county selling my jewellery and i have had a great response. So great that i have had to closed the shop to online orders, so i could concentrate on catch-up making for the festivals.
I am so very grateful for all of your support and positive feed back. Sorry if you have messaged and it has taken time for me to get back to you, i am spending a lot of my time working and sleeping in fields, and when i am at home i am head to the grindstone trying to prepare for the next event. I am trying to message everyone back but it is taking time (i need an assistant hehe).
I have been inundated with positive emails, and emails asking for items that people have seen at shows and would now like to purchase online. So i have decided to open my shop for a limited time
First Summer Fair Done and Dusted - Wem
I have finished my first summer fair in Wem Shropshire. It was quite a nerve wracking affair, because it is my first event i have done since Deershed festival in 2016 (not including Camden or Telford, because these were more like shops and permanent positions). Before the day i spent so much time trying to work out what i would need and how i was going to set up. This fair was always going to be a experimental run, where my aim for the fair was to learn how i needed to set up, and what i needed...
