Great day at work today, finished three pairs of earrings finished, two rings with a lovely interval of silliness! Two of my dear friends (one my photographer) came out to take some photos for a magazine feature I've been asked to do for craftseller magazine- and much madness occured! Some excellent photos as usual courtesy of mr Ben Adams (schtumple). Very chuffed with the two Rose rings that were commissioned, had a bit of an adventure trying to solder the second though! (of which there is photographic evidence!) now to hope they fit .....
Also managed to complete two pair of fushia-esque earrings, one in copper, one in silver. I'll see how popular they are on Saturday. I really like them, I've done so much flat work earring-wise, it's nice to have really constructed something!

Woohoo! I've just been asked to write 100 words for a magazine feature on 'upcycling and recycling' excellent.....now I just need to figure out what to write!

Love and affection, I'm loving a bit of Joan armatrading in these posh surroundings! Like a bit of home in a foreign environment.

All set up, tea-d and ready to open, a lovely selection of suppliers today- loving the lollipop trees the most!
I get the feeling I'm going to be wishing very strongly that I hadn't been placed adjacent to the caterers giving out fishy canapès- it's boiling in here!

Started today on the wrong foot work-wise, lost my business cards and handed over the wrong bouquets! Oops! On the upside I finished off a mixed Jack and Coke bunch, added some Monster blooms to the other Jd bouquet. I also took the opportunity to make some Monster earrings, which look very good! Now to wait and see how tomorrow goes and seethe internally at having the wrong combination of bouquets! Damn!

A distinct lack of work done today due to the insistent absence of my two bundles of floristry wire, so I have 24 hours to locate said wire and get two extra bouquets done for the extra show on Sunday! I have also just been reminded of an order I had somehow forgotten about from a friend, a replica of the ring I wear, I must write these things down!!
I had an absolute disaster at work yesterday where I repaired a ring, lost the very pricey stone somewhere in the studio! After an hour and I bit I thankfully located it, and got on with a resizing on a ring I'd made too large by mistake, and took the chance to re-seat the stone a little better! Not sll was lost!

Lovely couple on the next stall are my new friends, only she keeps trying to therapise me, let's hope she doesn't discover too much! Brilliant lady, she's working as a bridal coach, ace idea for anxious brides! www.theweddingangel.co.uk

The Village Hotel Wedding Fayre

Just met the very lovely lady from www.fabulousfancies.co.uk who make beautiful cupcakes, the picture truly doesn't do them justice but these were my favourites!

Welcome to a new start!

From now on I will be using this blog as it was made to be used- I hope! No idea why I never searched for the app before, but now i have it I can take you all to shows with me! I'm looking forward to the village show in Bournemouth tomorrow, to whet your appetite for what's to come, check out this wedding cake exhibited at the Pavilion show last week end as a break from the traditional- I love it!! (next time I'll remember to get the details for you too!!)
Also don't forget to check out my facebook page 'Geneva Silver' and my folksy shop at www.folksy.com/shops/genevasilver and of course, the website www.genevasilver.co.uk
I have just started on a brand new range of copper and brass pieces, in response to the demand of less costly pieces after the massive hikes in the price of silver over the last year or so, some of these I will be listing on folksy in the coming week!
I'll see you tomorrow at the show!!
