Handm@de Cambridge!

I am quite excited to be involved with organising the next Handm@de craft fair in the lovely Cambridge city centre, we have recently opened applications to stallholders for the event which will be on the 4th April 2009. We are hoping to attract lots of gorgeous designers, makers, artists, and crafters to the fair.

If you are interested in exhibiting please visit the blog, Flickr group or email handmadefairs@gmail.com for more information and an application form!

If you are interested in visiting, we will be at the Cambridge Guildhall on the 4th April 2009. :)

New

New Earrings, originally uploaded by lazygiraffe.

I love all the beads that I find and use in my designs, that is the beauty of vintage beads. These beads are my particular favourite, they are so so interesting. I was very eager to get these and start using them. They are lightweight lucite with dark purple swirls, like ink in water. Just perfect.

Inkwell earrings, my etsy shop right now :)

Posterous!

I've started a posterous account, so far I am not sure how I am going to use this but it looks rather helpful! :)

Foodie

I've been meaning to blog about my favourite food blogs for a while, I love food blogs - the best ones are always 200 times better than anything you would find in a magazine. I also like the tried and tested factor of it because I like to know recipes work, there is nothing worse than something you make going wrong because of a duff recipe (obviously I am a fantastic cook so its not my fault ;))

I have been following my two favourite blogs for quite a while now and they are always filled with great recipes.

First is Gastronomy Domine, which I also love for the restaurant reviews - alas I haven't been to some of the fantastic places Liz has blogged about but I have drooled at the pictures. I am going to try and track down a pork hock this weekend on her recommendation, I can't wait to try her latest recipe. You should also definitely try the recipe for Char Sui pork, although its not the weather for it now, its really great cooked on the barbecue.

Second is Smitten Kitchen, which is full of what American food really should be about which is great. You should also try some of the cookie recipes, the homemade oreo recipe is the best. One of our household favourites is also the quesadilla with acorn squash recipe (you can use all sorts of different veg, I like courgettes or butternut squash) which is really easy to make. I love the photography too, I can happily flick through the photos and waste a lot of time dreaming of what to make next.

Away and Free Shipping!

Ruffles Earrings - in my Etsy and Folksy shops

I have a busy week ahead of me this week, which is a bit of a wrench for me because I'm a bit of a sad old homebody who prefers to be at home making jewellery and drinking tea than out drinking wine. Actually I don't mind swapping the tea for wine at home though.
Anyway, I will be away between the 3rd and 4th December, back on the 5th probably nursing a sore head.

As I am away, and in the spirit of Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Cyber Tuesday (apparently this is new) and anything else anyone fancies calling days of the week in the USA, I am offering Free Worldwide Shipping on all items in my Etsy shop! All items are already edited so no need to wait for a revised invoice :)

All items will be shipped out on the 5th December!

Happy Shopping!
