Good morning everyone,
Firstly a happy Monday to all - had planned to update my Blog and post these photo's from the gorgeous Norfolk seaside town of Wells next the Sea, over the weekend. But, due to a dear friend being in hospital, hospital visiting took precedence so here we are on Monday morning!
Last time I blogged I posted photo's from the beautiful village of Little Walsingham where we stayed and promised to post some more from our lovely few days over in Norfolk, so here they are. One bonus of being near to Wells was the discovery of a lovely crystal shop, so naturally, I couldn't resist bringing some of their tumblestones back with me..... will be wire-wrapping them at a later date! Also another bonus was a gloriously warm day on the Friday so we spent some time on the beach and Lilly had her very first paddle and taste of ice-cream!
The seafront
Local boats!
On the beach....
What a lovely view!
Local lifeboat standing by...!
And those crystals - aren't they gorgeous?
Hope you've enjoyed seeing my holiday photo's + all that leaves me to say is have a great day everyone!
with love from Fat Fairy H.Q.

Good evening everyone!
Well, I really can't believe that my last blog post was on the 2nd August which is nearly 2wks ago! Where is the time going to (don't get me started on that one again!), before we know it the first 'you know what' cards will be appearing in our shops and it only seems 5mins since I was buying them last year.
Anyway, enough of my moaning and groaning I hear you say - and quite rightly too! I realised that I still hadn't got round to sharing any photo's of my recent trip over to Norfolk with you. What a beautiful county it is - I know some people don't like it because it's flat in parts but I think it has a charm all of it's own. And the coast is lovely - so diverse. We stayed in Little Walsingham where the shrine is and that is such a lovely, peaceful village with a thriving farm shop and a chocolate delicatessen (yes that's right a chocolate deli!). There were lovely walks around the village for Ruby, my son's dog and we were only a short drive from the coast at Wells next the Sea where I discovered a lovely crystal shop and bought home some crystals to hopefully wire-wrap at some point! I still can't share any photo's of my beautiful baby granddaughter, so you will have to be suffice with photo's of the local area and the beach!
The local village
The Shrine
Church at the Shrine
Pretty archway + cottages on our dog walk!
Just in case anyone gets lost!
We didn't get a chance to try out the local railway but there's always next time!
And, last but not least, the Chocolate Deli!
As I seem to have gone a bit mad with photo's, I think I'll leave the ones of the beach at Wells till next time!

Well, it's Friday night here at Fat Fairy H.Q. and what a week it's been! My 'day' job of a PA to 2 of our Directors, seems to have almost turned into the role of 'Troubleshooter' and I've spent nearly all my week trying to sort out invoices and desperately trying to get them paid. Why, I hear you ask? Mainly because, it seems, no-one else can be bothered! We also seem to lose a lot of our invoices, which then means asking for copies (thank goodness for e-mail!) but that then delays the payment process - ho hum - happy days!
So I, for one, am quite glad that it's Friday and I've done quite a bit tonight (mainly because I am home alone - well with the dog!), had my hair cut, walked the dog (although these days Judy can't walk far, bless her), put washing in, had my tea, hoovered downstairs, stripped my bed (and now realise I have to remake it before I can go to sleep......unless, of course, the fairies have done it for me....) and washed the hall floor.....
Phew, just typing that long list makes me feel tired and I'm now sitting down doing a spot of knitting for one certain baby girl.....
Anyway, here as promised are some of my photo's from the 2 lovely days I spent out at Cleves Garden Studios, taking part in Warwickshire Open Studios - hope you like them!
My window display featuring some of Fat Fairy Jewellery's gemstone + freshwater pearl jewellery
Dot + Geoff's lovely wooden display cabinet that they very kindly let me use
One of my displays in that cabinet, featuring some of the jewellery I made specially for WOS
Another display in the cabinet, along with a little 'Bio' on Fat Fairy Jewellery - this display included my 'Celebration' necklace in red, white + blue glass pearls, with matching bracelet + ear-rings
This lovely green necklace with the glass heart was what Dot took with her when she went out and about to give talks on WOS in the month leading up to the opening, to give people an idea of our work
Some of my bracelets displayed on some lovely stones brought back from Somerset
Another shot of my window display
More photo's in another blog!
with love from Fat Fairy Jewellery
