5 festive fairs with my hearty welcome!
An autumnal hello to my faithful blog followers! It has been an exciting (albeit hectic) year on the glass-making front co-leading the production team on a stained glass commission with Richard (which I can unfortunately neither show you photos of, nor talk about due to contractual restrictions but I can say it will be very beautiful when it is finished!) Thank you for patiently awaiting my next jewellery boat blog bulletin!
With the festive season fast approaching, I thought I'd let you know where my jewellery and "The Porcelain Menagerie" will be appearing. I've created new porcelain and glass members to join the gang and lined up 5 new and favourite craft fairs as family outings for them all! They're looking forward to meeting you too!

This magical forest fair in wonderfully historic and atmospheric surroundings is bound to make you come over all Christmassy!

I am excitedly looking forward to taking part in these enterprising events. They represent ideal opportunities to buy from local craftspeople and designer / makers who as small businesses will be delighted if you choose to "shop local" too, and you'll find original, individual and unique gifts for everyone!
I'll be bringing a selection of my nature-inspired jewellery, glass and porcelain to each one. It would be wonderful to see you and catch up (you know how I like a good natter!) Do come along and say "hello" if you are in the area.
Thank you kind gentlefolk, your ongoing interest, encouragement and support are much appreciated!
