On my desk today is my mums pompom necklace which has undergone a good polish. This is a piece from ages ago that I made for a Dazzle exhibition about 2005/06. Didn’t sell it so gave it to my mum!!

Platform Gallery and Wren Gallery
I have sent jewellery to two new stockists in the last week.
Platform Gallery is housed in a former train station in Clitheroe and has been a stockist of mine for a long time! However they closed after christmas for a refurbishment and opened on Saturday for which I sent a brand new lovely stock.
Platform Gallery has an Open Craft Exhibition on at the moment. You can go along and vote for for your favourite piece through the People’s Choice Award.
Wren Gallery is based in The Warrington Museum and there is a dedicated space in one of its newly refurbished galleries to exhibiting and selling British craft.
If you happen to be in any of these areas do search out Platform Gallery or Wren Gallery.

I love it when old pieces come back for a polish or a tweek. This bracelet was made about 9 years ago and I probably only made two or three. I think maybe it is time to make another set of these bracelets. This one is home to a very loyal customer that has been coming into my shop for years with all her friends!
Forgot to say!
I have a 10% discount of all purchases in the shop until saturday.
