MADE 09 BRIGHTON

We are here MADE 09 in Brighton, its difficult to remain horizontal in the gail force winds but other than that Brighton (which i have never seen before ) is good . We are in a little B & B right by the pier . We will get to the end of it by the end of our few days here I hope. Our little walk round planned for this morning has been postponed due to the horrid weather .
The show opened last night with the Private View lots of talking looking and some buying which was good . I got to meet up with Amanda Glanville of The Earring Cafe ( who is here selling ) and Judith Johnson who dropped in to visit us. We dipped into a rather natty noodle bar just over the road from The Corn Exchange for a bite to eat and a good chat after the PV , it was lovely to see you Judith !
I managed a few photos very quickly yesterday of the stand but there will be more to follow , when hopefully there will be time to draw breath at some stage .
As usual there are some lovely people here lots to see and do, so if you find yourself in Brighton come visit MADE 09 open today 11- 7.30, tomorrow 10 – 6 and Sunday 10 – 5pm .

A busy time

Having returned from Nottingham and visiting Lustre Contemporary Fair my feet don't have much time on the ground before our local Art Bazaar event this coming Friday 13th. Then Made 09 the following week in Brighton. So I dont have much to do really ! its all good fun and I love the fairs so much. Selling over the internet is wonderful of course but its always lovely to meet the lovely people the beads go to and of course recieve all the valuable feedback really only possible meeting everyone in person.

I have new beads on my web site this evening and then a few on Etsy later in the week , these are the ones you will see on there so keep an eye out !

New Banner for my website

Making some changes to my web site and hopefully ironing out all the glitches I have had this year and giving it a bit of a face lift. Would love to hear what you think of my idea for a new banner?
