This is a post to thank Rikki Scott and all the wonderful staff and patrons at The Crown in Melton Mowbray, for their warm welcome and support at this evening's jewellery event. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and was made to feel welcome from the moment I entered. A fab group of people, with a passion for jewellery which is always good to see. We raised a really encouraging amount of money for charity from the raffle, and with more commissions to come, hopefully the total will go up further. A lot of the items on the site have consequently sold, which is wonderful, and I will be madly making more pieces very soon for more Christmas purchases. 

Thank you to everyone who made the evening fun, and bought an item of jewellery, greetings card, bow or tag! And thank you to Rikki for letting me show my pieces, it has been an absolute pleasure! 

At last, Handmade Jewellery is branching out! A new office and studio will be opening shortly in Peterborough UK. From here, website purchases will be mailed out, and new designs photographed and uploaded in the run-up to Christmas. I am so excited to now have two spaces (Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire and Peterborough, Cambridgeshire) in which creativity can flow, not to mention yet another valuable tea making spot! 

In March 2012, I will exhibiting again in Melton Mowbray, after the success of the last exhibition. Thanks again to everyone who showed their support. Then in April, I will be open to visitation in both studios, for when that wonderful wedding season begins. 

There will be no change to my contact information, webiste or email address, so anyone wishing to get in touch can still do so!
