The days are getting incredibly long here now. It doesn't really get dark at night. Sad thing is by the end of next week the days will actually start to get shorter. Ah well, so long as we keep getting these stunning sunsets, I don't mind so much!

First craft fair
Well I finally took part in my first craft fair yesterday at Dounby School in Orkney. The thought of filling a table with jewellery was quite daunting, so I worked hard all last week trying to make up enough stock. I knew I had to raise the height of my work as tables can be quite low and people really need to see jewellery nearer eye level. Anyway I came up with an ingenious idea which involved placing the table upon 4 buckets. Well it seemed to work, although I might have had problems if anyone leant on the table!
You might like to see my new line inspired by the pebbles at Skaill Bay, our beautiful local beach. These are currently available for sale in my Etsy shop and my Folksy shop and can be made in different sizes.
And this one is a one of a kind.
Anyway, I met some lovely people both visitors and stall holders. Everyone was very supportive and helpful. Thanks especially to Fiona of Castaway Crafts and Francis of Francis Garriock Jewellery. The day was a complete success and I'm thoroughly looking forward to my next fair next weekend.
