Guess who bought this? Valerie Singleton! Now those of us of a certain age will remember her for her Blue Peter days and I always wanted a Blue Peter Badge! I didn't recognise her and so she had to drop her name into the conversation and out it popped from my mouth before I could be sensible, I asked her for a Blue Peter Badge.................not sure I made a good impression!Wednesday, 30 July 2008

Racing....................................
I went racing last night! I grew up next door to Ascot racecourse and I've never been racing before last night. My dear boss took 11 of us (all expenses paid) to Salisbury races, gave us each £10 for bets and onto a posh meal afterwards to celebrate our Salisbury shops birthday, its a year old!
I decided any winnings I had I was going to donate to our charity, Wateraid so some serious studying of form was called for.........................I decided to bet on the prettiest horses and had 3 winners in 5 races! So, broke even and £10 in our charity box.
I had a really fantastic time.
I've not blogged for days, possibly even a couple of weeks, sorry peeps.................This website thingy has driven me barmy, its been the biggest learning curve ever and to be honest I've had enough now, I want to get back to creating, I've missed it, bead withdrawal bigtime! So, its functional and will have to do for the time being, now I've got to learn to market it, another big learning curve I fear, talk about being dragged into the 21st century kicking and screaming.
AND, I've not bought any beads, my favorite beady people have been making the most gorgeous treasures that I've just drooled over from afar, Laura, Caroline and Izzy, watch out, I'm on the prowl, I feel a bead buying spree coming on!
Oh and today its HOT, really hot, lovely blue skies all round, my husband is doing a car boot, getting rid of some of the rubbish thats been lurking in the loft for years and I've got a list of chores a mile long, housework, washing and the grass needs mowing, what fun!
To a very special friend I'd like to say such a big big big THANK YOU! Jo, of Gem Heaven sent me a present........a pair of her beautiful earrings, which I've worn every day since ripping open the package. I'm trying to get a picture that shows just how beautiful they are, and I've longed for a piece of Jo's jewellery since forever. She's lovely and she's my friend!

A Storm In Silver.......
WOW, what a week.....Feeling a little bad about not blogging but the time has just disappeared so apologies all round!
Silver Storm Jewellery has been born! I've a website. Couldn't have Jewellery Craft coz someone else beat me to it so let the kids come up with something somewhere suitable and as we were having a lovely storm (I love storms) at the time Bobs yer uncle, Silver Storm Jewellery. To be honest, I'm not that sure, but they are dead pleased with themselves so heyho....
All I can say to all you computer geeks out there, good on you! I wish I could have afforded to have some sleek and sassy site designed for me but I had to do it for myself and I've not enjoyed the experience. Anyway, please guys go and have a look, It's a bit rudimentary and no online shop yet but getting there slowly and.................I'm putting you lot into the link section, hope you don't mind!
I made this for the shop, one of those rare moments in the last couple of weeks that I got to make jewellery, I loved this, its fun, chunky and funky, loved it so much I made one for myself.
