Photos from Hampshire + Chichester


Hello everyone! As mentioned in our previous blog, Fat Fairy Jewellery has been off on their travels.  As usual, my camera was one of the first things packed and we'd love to share some photos of one of our favourite places 'down south' - Emsworth Harbour and also the lovely Chichester Catherdral.  We particularly like the one of Judy, our little Jack Russell taking the last of the summer sun at Emsworth - as Judy used to belong to my late Mum who also loved Emsworth, it felt very right to take Judy for a walk around the harbour wall!

Hope you enjoy the photo's of our travels - which did involve buying a few beads + buttons....!

with love from Fat Fairy Jewellery and the Jack Russell! xx

It's been a very hot day - almost too hot to make jewellery.......

Good evening all from what has been a very hot + humid day here in Warwickshire!  Now trying to rain....so I guess that really is summer over and done with.
Fat Fairy Jewellery has had a busy couple of weeks since our last post as Debbie + I managed a long weekend back down in Hampshire where we used to live.  It was lovely to be able to catch up with friends and Debbie + Paul's Godparents.  Found a lovely B+B in Emsworth which accepted dogs, so that meant we could take Judy - our elderly Jack Russell with us.  If you are ever down that way we can well recommend the Miller's House (www.millershouse.co.uk).  Also managed a quick trip into Chichester which is another favourite place!
Have also been busy making jewellery for friends - posting photos of some lovely brooches I made and also a pair of lovely Rose Quartz ear-rings which were a birthday present for a friend. Attended the Beadelicous Bead Soiree at Bulkington yesterday which was great fun (www.beadelicious-beads.co.uk) and made a necklace, bracelet + pair of ear-rings!  Have 3 craft fairs/indulgence evenings in the diary over the next month, so really need to get working on increasing our stock.  The good news is that our website is very nearly ready to go live - very exicted about that....!
Even managed a baking session this week as we supported the MacMillan Cancer Care Biggest Coffee Morning at work on Friday and I made some Rocky Road, Chocolate Brownies and a Fruit Cake....!  Now wonder I'm feeling just a little bit tired tonight......


Hope you like the photo's!
