What a Brill Sunday!

Today started just like any other Sunday - very early wake up from Betty Boubalay Swaggles wanting pee pee, cuppa tea, washing, dog walking and cleaning! By 2pm i am absolutely shattered.


I decided to make some bits and pieces of jewellery for The Great Yorkshire Show which is to be held on 10th July till 12th July at the Showground in Harrogate. I made this little stunner and am very pleased with how it turned out.






I have called it The Twisty as it features some brill sterling silver tubes which are twisted - fab idea i thought!!

Anyway, I was browsing my email this afternoon after my jewellery making spout, when to my surprise I have a couple of emails firstly from the very talented and equally nice lady - Jennifer Dangerfield to tell me that I have WON second prize in her "pants to ovarian cancer" postcard competition!

The idea behind this is a really sad one as Jennifers own mum was sadly taken by this terrible disease so to help in the treatment and finding a cure for this terrible illness Jennifer decided to donate £1 for each and every postcard sent to her. I believe she had 110 sent to her so this is ace that she was able to donate the money for a bloody brilliant cause! Anyway there were three prizes up for grabs - a handmade charm bracelet, a choice of pendant necklace and a choice of earrings. i have chosen a red dotty pendant necklace and will post a pic of this on here for you all to see once it arrives - Im thrilled to bits as you can imagine!

The next email was from The Indie Quarter - an online blog that specialises in writing articles about designers etc and they have chosen to feature me in one of their articles!! WOW WEE am I a lucky girl today or what?? Here is the article!

I have had such a different and fantastic Sunday because of these two things - I just wish I could have played the lottery today cos you never know do you - good things come in threes they say!

Have a brill rest of the day

Love Bev xxxx
