A busy weekend coming up.....

Evening everyone! Before our mad weekend arrives, we just wanted to let you all know where you can find FAT FAIRY JEWELLERY this coming weekend!
Saturday 30th June will find us supporting Bilton Junior School's Summer Fayre.  Always a pleasure to support a local school and this event has grown considerably over the past few years.  This year they are expecting over 100 stalls to take part.  Bilton Junior School is in Plantagenet Drive on the Woodlands Estate in Rugby.
Sunday 1st July sees us taking part in a Craft Fair at the National Heritage Centre at Gaydon, Warwickshire. The car fans amongst you may already know that this is their MINI Event (as in cars and not just small objects as a friend first thought......). Showcasing the MINI down the years and they are expecting a lot of people through the doors.  So, if you happen to be out and about over the weekend and find yourselves near either (or maybe both....) of the above events, please do come and find us and say hello.... We'd love to see you all!
Monday 2nd July - sees the Olympic Torch coming through Rugby.  It has an early start at about 8:20am from Lawford Road and then up into town - stopping off at the famous Rugby School.  One of my colleagues has the honour of running the 2nd lap in Rugby with the torch - well done Kevin!

Fat Fairy Jewellery goes 'up north'.....

Well, we can safely say that May was a very busy month for us......
Firstly we had the very lovely wedding to attend of the new Mr + Mrs Buckham, which we mentioned in a previous blog. Then we had the pleasure and fun of entering the 'Fit for a Queen' competition run by Jilly Beads. Then the last weekend in May saw us heading north up to Lancashire where my son and his partner live, to celebrate the birthday of both my son and daughter (yes they are twins before you ask!). We had a lovely weekend (although disappointed not to have found time to visit the local bead shop - Beads Forever but there's always next time folks.....). 
My son + his partner took us to visit their chosen location for their wedding next April (all very exciting.... we just love a wedding here at Fat Fairy Jewellery!) and then on Sunday had a lovely walk along the beach at Lytham St Anne's and a very nice lunch before the time came to head back down the M6 and homeward bound..... thank goodness for the M6 toll road - why don't more people use it? It's well worth a fiver each way just for a nice, clear road.....

Thought you'd like to see some photo's taken on our trip - this lovely canal is right outside my son's house and is an ideal location for them to walk the adorable Ruby - see 1st photo above!
That's all folks, still next time!
Night everyone from Fat Fairy HQ x

'Fit for a Queen.....'

Good morning from Fat Fairy Jewellery HQ!
Hope this finds everyone well despite our awful weather....!  You can certainly tell that it's England - not only because of all the wonderful Jubilee celebrations but also the fact that every other person you speak to talks about the weather.....!!
Talking of the Jubilee celebrations, back last month we were given the chance to enter a competition called 'Fit for a Queen' which was run by one of our favourite bead suppliers.  Unfortunately, we didn't win but that's not the point, it was great fun deciding on what we would make and enter in the competition. The rule was that you had to use some of the new gorgeous Swarovski pearl mixes from this bead supplier and you could also use anything else from your 'bead stash' as long as the pearl were the main feature!  Here at Fat Fairy Jewellery, we love a challenge and thought you'd like to see what we entered - which was a necklace made using the lovely pearls and mixed with some beautiful, round Rose Quartz crystal beads from our bead stash and with a few Haematite beads for good measure as Haematite is a very good gemstone/crystal to keep you grounded.

We were only allowed to enter a necklace but we loved using the Swarovski pearl mix so much that we also made two bracelets and a pair of ear-rings to match! Hope you like seeing them as much as we loved making them! Obviously we could make anything similar to order if required - just e-mail us for details!
Now we are all looking forward to the Olympics - the spotlight certainly is on England this year, so lets all celebrate and enjoy!
Have a good day with love from us here at Fat Fairy Jewellery xx

On the road with Fat Fairy Jewellery.......

Evening everyone from Fat Fairy Towers here in Warwickshire.....!
Well, I can't believe where the time has gone since we last blogged - so much has happened that I feel our feet really haven't touched the ground...
Our first exciting event was the wedding of my work colleague Miranda and her husband Stuart which took place on Friday 11th May at the very lovely Rhinefield House Hotel in Brockenhurst, New Forest.  What a lovely day we all had - the bride looked absolutely amazing and the weather was perfect.  My daughter Debbie (aka our Creative Director) managed to get sunburnt while we sat outside on the terrace as the bride + groom were having their photo's taken! It really was the perfect day as hopefully our photo's will show you!

A wedding is obviously the perfect time for us to make some jewellery to wear and I decided to try out my pattern for a brooch instead a buttonhole.  I've made several of these brooches and each time - depending on what beads + crystals I use, they turn out slightly different each time! 

This is the lovely wedding heart that we gave to Miranda on her wedding day as a keepsake.

And these are some of the absolutely beautiful flowers that adorned the hotel!

After our lovely day and overnight stay in Lyndhurst, we had a quick trip to Lymington as we'd heard they hold a fab market every Saturday (no-one mentioned that they also have a small bead shop there too.....).  We then headed back along the M27 to catch up with some very dear friends before returning home.
Well, I think that's all for tonight! I'll carry on with our adventures and some more photos tomorrow! 
Goodnight everyone from Fat Fairy Jewellery xx
