Hello – if you have happened to find this blog then WELL DONE and HELLO.

Thanks xx

Wowsers – I have been accepted to be part of an online pop up shop via The Penguin Network!!

There are going to be loads of great shops to check out and I am so pleased to be part of this.

Hopefully it will get the word of vegetable ivory out there further and expose lots of people to the fact we can all be part of more than just fashion!!

 

Wowsers here comes the summer and the heat!

It’s lovely to feel and see the sun and it makes me want to wear nice bright colours and it seems the layering trend of wearing loads of bracelets is not going away. Hopefully as I wear more and more of my creations, more and more people will want one.

No sales on Etsy, no sales on Facebook and Not on the High street rejected me but I am going to be part of a Pop Up shop on Facebook through www.facebook.com/FollowThePenguin so who knows what might happen. Last time I was part of a pop up I got one sale so one is better than none.

Just got to keep trying and getting it out there – just hard work with a full time job and a part time one at the zoo but maybe I will get a stall at the zoo which would be a great place to see my stuff.

I have decided to offer a top tip whenever I blog with my experience in this world of crafting and trying to sell.

So today my top tip is to follow and like lots of people on Facebook/Twitter/Pinterest (or whatever platform you use) that are relevant to your field. That way you can get ideas, support and often get some inside knowledge too. But DO NOT start copying makes as that is not right. I have been able to get loads of knowledge and supplier ideas from following some FAB pages.

Happy Tuesday to you all
