Stack em up

Good day at the  SW4 craft fair yesterday!   (http://thesw4magazine.co.uk/artbazaar)
Will be doing the next one on May 5th, 2012

It was great to meet even more talented individuals out there who want to help their local community flourish again.

In the meantime I better find something to do with all the Swarovski crystals I just bought. The Swarovski Elements Regent street store has just closed for a refurb, and I clearly decided to provide a permanent home for far too much of their stock :(

My next fair will be:

25 March 2012 - open at midday until 6pm, free entry!

Balham Bowls Club (upstairs room), 7-9 Ramsden Road, SW12 8 QX -http://www.balhambowlsclub.com/

Roll on March 3rd!  Hope you can make it!

Cant wait! Such a busy bee at the moment trying to get everything perfect

How time flies....

Its been 3 months since my first blog!!!  It is clear that I have very little time to do everything that I should be doing with regards to social media to promote Crystal and Stone, but I am going to stick to my new year resolution although I am 30 days late!

So what has happened since in my world....well had an excellent time at the We Make London craft fair where my jewellery went down well, as well as trying to get all the commissioned work completed.

I have just started to look at new markets and craft fairs for 2012 and so far I will be at:

The New Vintage Valentine's Market

and

So I will be getting ready with some new designs, and hope to see you there! 

Exploring the handmade revolution

I have taken a couple of days off work from my full time job, to create some more pieces for my regular market stall at Merton Abbey Mills on a Sunday, as well as setting up this blog page to finally embrace the power of social networking. 

Anything handmade these day I love, and  I really appreciate the time and effort that fellow crafters make to be at the top of their game.  I can honestly say for me, jewellery making is a labour of love than trying to make a fortune, whilst delving into the world of gemstones of all shapes, colours and quality.

As well as jewellery making, I also dabble with watercolour and acrylic painting and really anything else that involves paper, paints, embelishments, colour, etc etc.....

So join me (and Kirstie Allsopp) on my exploration of the handmade revolution !
