These are my first Earrings I've made for Elinor Jenkins Jewellery. They are a commissioned to match with my Green and Gold elastic Bracelet. They took a while to get the beaded bead right but I'm very happy with the outcome.

First Fayre Experience
So yesterday I did my first Christmas Fayre. It was at the offices of Grey in London. I sold 2 things which just covered my costs of parking and the congestion charge so it wasn't a complete sell out. I did a practice run of my stall at home- this is what it looked like. I wish I had more silver beads as I sold another Silver Sparkly bracelet and I think I could have sold a few more too. Shame I'm still waiting for the beads to arrive. I just hope they arrive soon.
I'm doing one for the NCT tomorrow which hopefully won't be a complete waste of time and that brave mums in Highbury will brave the snow and have money to spend!
Martha is currently playing the saucepan lids as cymbals so I think I better play with her before the kitchen gets demolished

Good Luck with your first Folksy Sale! Kate

Folksy Friday Show me your Sparkles
The theme for my Folksy Friday is Sparkle. I had so much to choose from so thank you for everyone who suggested some of their items and I'm sorry I couldn't include all of them. I had to limit it to 10- which is my largest Folksy Friday so far. So here they are- and yes I am always a sucker for a sparkly crystal
