Have you all had a fantastic jubilee Weekend? Did you do anything patriotic or were you just glad of the extra lie ins? Either way I hope everyone enjoyed themselves!
On Saturday I did a Vintage Fair in York, I met some lovely people and made sales which is always a bonus.
This was my stall.

I am always looking for new and innovative ways to display my jewellery and textile items so if anyone has any ideas to share please do leave a comment at the bottom. :D
After York, we had my lovely Parents in law over to stay, we indulged in wine, cider, Afternoon tea at Chatsworth Farm and Lovely food. I love entertaining and I am very lucky to have an amazing Mother and Father in Law like them. I also indulged in rather to many glasses of this...(Well it was Pimms Oclock...)
Pimms and Lemonade!
***Disclaimer, I did not drink Pimms whilst using Betty***
I managed to Make another Jewellery Roll, a gorgeous Red polka dot and Black contrast. It is very 50's. I am Absolutely loving making the Jewellery rolls at the moment. It made so much sense to start them, I make jewellery and then Some ladies would need something to store there favourite pieces in so ta da! Here are two I have made,
To see the insides of the jewellery rolls and to see fabric options should you wish to consider purchasing your own, please click this link, They are priced at a very reasonable £12.99 each.
BIG NEWS!
Right now we have got the updates out of the way, I can let you in on a little secret, I am now in possession on everything needed to start making my own Polymer clay beads! Last week I went on a short course to learn tips and techniques to make different canes and different pieces that can be done with clay. It was very interesting! I cant wait to take onboard some of those techniques and add some of my vintage twist into it to see what I come up with!
For a while now I have been interested in ways of making my own Beads, I looked at Polymer Clay, Precious Metal clay, Resin and Lampwork before finally deciding I wanted to start with Polymer clay. Although I will not rule out the other methods I wont be looking at those just yet.
I hope you will all follow me on this new route, I will continue to do new collections that include, Gemstones, Wirework and different beading methods and in the near future I will add some polymer pieces into the mix. It is all part of my plan to really push my own boundaries whilst offering you the most choice and best value I possibly can. I thank you all for your continued support encouragement and loyalty, without you my business would not continue to grow.
Much love,
Mrs.Floaty. x
