Feeling the Leaf Love
Once I've moved and things have settled down...I feel I might do an offer on my Autumn Leaf Collection as it really has been popular this year! My leaf brooch has been featured on page 37 of September's issue of Let's Knit magazine. And my cuff has been featured in October's issue of Handmade Living on page 8. Let me know if you spot it!

Art at 88, Berkhamsted
I was contacted a while ago by Jenni Cator and Malcolm Gorrie, offering me the opportunity to exhibit in a new gallery opening in Berkhamsted in late Spring. Of course I said yes! It has just opened and has had a great response so far. I took a bag of goodies down there this week, which are being displayed in a beautiful glass topped table right next to the till (prime position!). The gallery looks so professional and very fresh. It's been done very tastefully and feels very approachable from the outside. There's a broad mix of different styles inside at affordable prices - I've already got my eye on a few things... I wish them both luck and success with the gallery, and am sure it's going to be a hit.

Dragonfly jewellery
Just made up a zillion pairs of Antique gold and turquoise dragonfly earrings, bracelets and necklaces. My hands ache!
Bonjour
Hmmm how to start... Wow this is all a bit complicated! I feel like I'm trying to read a foreign language. But by sally is moving with the times and embracing the wonders of where my shiny mac can take me and my work. I'm currently getting ready for the Handm@de fair, Winchester in July. Eeekk, not long now! Stocking up on those bestsellers and getting a lovely pile of bargain sale items together to make room for the exciting new products. The back room is getting a bit to full - I'm not sure how much more I can squish in!
