Summer Studs!

Sorry about the misleading title - sadly, this is not a post about some hot men prancing around with their shirts off...

It's better (arguably!)...

I've just finished listing a new range of cute studs in my Etsy shop. Perfect for wearing with your statement summer necklaces, or just as a little (and, of course, fabulous value) treat, here are the three designs in the new range.

Handm@de Promos

If you didn't already know, I'm part of a fab crew of girlies who organise craft fairs in big cities across the south. Our website is here: http://www.handmadecraftfairs.co.uk.

It's my job to collect promotional material for our famous goody bags - we have 200 at each fair given to the first 200 visitors (free!) This means that your promotional material will be put directly into the hands of people who are interested in, and want to buy, handmade stuff.

We'll accept:

Business cards, promotional badges, buttons or stickers, flyers, vouchers, cards, samples, postcards or anything else you have that promotes your business. Don't forget, think about what you might like to see in a goody bag - what would really catch your eye? A sample (earrings, a card, a tiny print or keyring...) is more likely to get people talking about your business than a busines cards, although they can be valuable too.

You can send them in up to the 26th of June - a maximum of 600 and a minimum of 1! (600 - 200 bags for the three craft fairs we have planned this year in Winchester, Oxford and Cambridge)

My address is:

Katie Strang
44 Jupiter Drive
Hemel Hempstead
Herts
HP2 5QJ

I live in a secure block, so I'm not concerned that you will come round my house and rob me. Not least because I have very little of financial value. Unless you want a cat. I have a free cat going spare, He'll poo in your shoes and lick your babies toast but he is kind of cute.

Front Page Fabulousness!

I haven't updated for well over a week, that really is terrible blogging action. I've been extremely tired recently, I don't know why. I'm not pregnant, I eat well and exercise regularly. Why do I feel so exhausted all the time? I think I may have to go along to the doctors. I'm putting it off in case they say it's something depressing - like depression. I'm not a depressed person by nature and it's probably not that. I think I just need a holiday. I have one booked with my Gran and my little boy in Dorset for a week in June, I hope the weather is nice!

Anyway, enough moaning. I was on the front page yesterday! Here is a screenshot:

It's quite tiny but it says in the top "Found using the search term 'fruit'" so I was really pleased. I sold a bracelet and that cherry necklace, which is my very last one of those for a while, gained 29 Hearts. You can snap it up here if you like the look of it!

I also made this necklace last night in the style of the Anthropologie ones. I got in a terrible mess with my glue-gun but I'm really happy with the finished result. I need to work out a way of making the back look a little less messy and glue-covered and then I might put one up for sale in my Etsy store and see how it goes.

Don't forgot, I'm still doing free shipping at my website, http://www.twinklyspangle.com
