It's been a good weekend with a fun double baby shower on Friday evening followed by the COW Handmade Fair at the Custard Factory, Birmingham on Saturday. It's the second time I've done this fair and was really pleased to see how much it has grown since starting up just a few months ago thanks to lots of hard work by the organisers. We were moved into a larger gallery space and you can see my stall below.
Bit disappointing on the sales front but lots of people asking whether we'd be back so hopefully November will be more successful. I had my sea glass pendants on show for the first time and am looking forward to getting these listed in the shop and working on some more wire wrapped pendants.
There was so much talent on show and you can check out some of it at the links below:
Magpie Jewels
Helen Woodward
Kate Thornton Design
Judith Williamson (who we used to teach with! Small world! Lovely to see you!)
Jaccylee Jewellery
Gill Bourbage
Rachel Warren
Silver Queen
Handmade by Tigerlily
Peewees (Michelle Witcombe)
Peeko Crochet
Said Label
Denise from COW and Peeko Crochet mesmerised a young guest at the wedding party, who had their drinks reception at the rear of the gallery, by spinning plastic bags into yarn (plarn) which she uses in her accessories range.
The COW ladies have been running all sorts of creative workshops and if you are interested in learning a new creative skill do check their blog for further details. For those of you with children there is now a whole host of children's workshops planned for October half term, sounds ace! Come on midlanders, get yourself to the Custard Factory and check out all the fabulous creative happenings! I'll see you back there on the 21st November!

Nice to meet you too. Thanks for the offer of help, may take you up on that. I've literally just created my blog this week and its been great having people see my work. Like your note 'keep calm and carry on' it's going on a post-it note. I like 'if you don't ask, you don't get' and 'specualte to accumulate'...
