Before anything else: a while ago one of you much-appreciated readers of this blog told me that they were trying to post comments but they didn’t show up. I’ve had a real nightmare trying to deal with spam and it seems that the spam filters I tried to put in place are somehow not approving the few comments that I actually want to receive (as opposed to the wealth of junk about louboutin shoes and prescription drugs). I’ve just checked my spam and found several ‘proper’ comments that had been filed there. I’m telling you all this because I really do appreciate it when people take the time to comment and if you are having problems commenting I’d really, really appreciate it if you took the time to let me know.

Anyhoooooo

,

it’s market time again this Sunday. Which, of course, means I have a shedload of new designs to share with you. I’ve managed to get most of them listed on Etsy, but this first crop of earrings have been made in the last day or so, so they’re not listed yet. If you want any of them, do drop me a line.

I hadn’t made any SE tip earrings in an age so I thought I’d rustle up a fresh pair for the stall. These painted pebbles are also popular.

I’ve been trying to make some shorter earrings - not everyone wants shoulder scraping drops - but it leaves me thinking: too simple? I’ve also been trying to make some less expensive earrings, like these.

You can have these for £14.50. What else? I picked up this pack of beautiful feathers a while ago. And then forgot all about them - until the other day.

I particularly like how they look in the photos I took - so I’m including a couple…

I love these SE stitched droppers. I have a similar pair that I’ve been wearing a lot.

I could perhaps have done to be more inventive with what I put with them - what d’ya think? Same thing with this pair:

Now for the stuff that’s been listed. My run of necklace making (and making necklace I actually like!) has continued…

As always, if you’re in or around Frome tomorrow, do drop by and say hello. I’ll be outside the George Hotel, just by the music stage, from 10am to 3pm.
