ta da! I am announcing my new shop!!!!

Sorry I have been rather quiet, 
firstly, typically once the Tapestry closed for the season I got every bug going, 
two bad colds in a month, not impressed....
But this technophobe has also been getting her head round opening an Etsy shop, and ta da, I can now welcome you to Caro and the gulls shop!  So far I have got some cards and necklaces on it, but I will be adding more regularly.  One thing if you are buying from Guernsey please contact me directly as I am struggling with adding Guernsey postage costs, did it once, and cant remember what I did.......

Hope you like it and look forward to your feed back

oooh these are making me so happy!

Back in April I shared with you a necklace I made.
 I loved it and it seemed to get very positive feed back. 
So over the summer I have been practicing, and I now feel ready!
So on Friday I will be having a stall at The Cancer Research Christmas Coffee Morning
it is at Les Cotils this Friday from 10 till 1.  
Entrance is £6 including coffee and biscuits.
It would be great to see you there and show you my beads, 
prices start at £25 so are perfect Christmas present, hint hint!

I am looking at selling them on-line, but one step at a time....

These are making me so happy, hope you enjoy them too ;-)

dare I mention the c word......

 I think it possibly possible to mention Christmas now...
and if like me, you make your own cards,
 you have been thinking about it for a while as it needs abit of planning - 
designing, sewing and getting it to the printer.
I have always designed my own cards, when I was a little girl, Mum and I made them together, 
and its important for me to carry on that tradition.  
Also I love getting Christmas cards, 
and it always help to get more, if you send them out!
They are definitely my favourite Christmas decoration,
 I love seeing them lined up on the mantle piece, hanging from ribbons draped along the ceiling. Extra special is when I get handmade/designed ones back, I keep those!

 This year I am using the traditional carol 'The Holly and the Ivy' as my inspiration. 
must say I am really pleased with how its coming on, but sorry you wont see it finished yet!
Maybe once I have them all written and posted, remind me if I forget....
