wow .... new look website went live yesterday

www.thejewelleryroom.co.uk

love the new look and it was about time really, its been there for 4years so needed a face lift though I am slightly nervous as I loved the original site ............... slowly the site is filling up with my own designs of sterling silver jewellery...... not sure if it will end up being just my jewellery .... don't think though as there is some great sterling silver jewellery out there from other designers ...........

lots of other stuff going on .... Winter Exhibition coming up at Arteria Gallery 23 in Lancaster (if you want a ticket to the Preview email me) ............ Manchester christmas Market 18 - 24th November for me and Jo, we are sharing a stall .......

On call for First Responders again today so am home based and need to do phone calls etc .. tidy up, maybe bake!

Good week so far .......... left lots of sterling silver jewellery at 2 outlets, made more and sent off for hallmarking ...... will go see more outlets next week .......... things are going well, I hope people like the new range, have more ideas coming through so want to start on a new range soon .......... have removed jewellery cabinet from Barton Grange, they felt they weren't selling enough and want the space for other things ........ will have to find a replacement.

Thank goodness for Emma and her handmade glass beads, she has made some fantastic beads for me, its so nice to find someone this helpful with an equal passion for what she does! She has a great website www.beadenvy.co.uk so have a look at her beads and little critters!

I have made some great sterling silver jewellery designs with her beads and Emma loves it as well which is a great endorsement for me.

No running this week ....... having some time out from that but have been to the gym and hope to get my bike soon so will start on that ........ if the weather improves! rain rain rain ..........

I am on call today and twice next week for First Repsonders so that should make me get on with more silver jewellery, stocking up for Christmas sales!!!

Might even bake this week, haven't done it for a couple of weeks and actually bought some muffins which I never do!
