<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Tis the silly season. I'm chasing my tail getting all my galleries stocked up as well as preparing for upcoming special events.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">First up is 'Sparkle Day' at my sisters shop and my parents Antique Studio in Coleraine, N.Ireland. More details <a href="http://www.facebook.com/FountainAntiquesAndInteriors">here</a> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">December 1st and 2nd I'm doing Open Studios again. It was a real success last year - so much so we're opening for two days this year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Come join us for a glass of fizz and homebaked treats. I will have a range of work on show - there will be 15% off current work as well as an array of previous collections greatly reduced - so grab a bargain for you or a loved one.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I'm also very much looking forward to my final trip of the year down to London to take part in the Primrose Hill Designers Sale on Saturday 8th December. More details <a href="http://www.wherevent.com/detail/Sian-Evans-Jewellery-12th-Primrose-Hill-Designer-Sale">here</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I'm doing both the Christmas <a href="http://www.dazzle-exhibitions.co.uk/">Dazzle</a> Exhibitions this year - London National Theatre and Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre, both going strong. </span><a href="http://www.caa.org.uk/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">CAA</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> and </span><a href="http://www.gillwingjewellery.co.uk/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Gill Wing</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> are well stocked up with my other stockists following suit asap.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Above are images from my stand at 'Made London', which was a great show. What a lovely bunch the organisers were, a joy to work with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Customers comments about this new show and venue were extremely positive - many likening it to the old 'Chelsea Craft Show' days.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">This time next week I'll be starting my journey down to London via the good old train. Should be fun - I'll have the contents of a small house! I do love a challenge! Gone are the cushy days when my parents would drive over to Edinburgh from Northern Ireland, pack the car in the early hours of the morning and wake up at the crack of dawn to drive us all down to do Chelsea Crafts Fair. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">The show I'm doing is <a href="http://www.madelondon.org/">Made London</a>. I'm really looking forward to it. I'll have lots of new work as well as some old favourites. There are lots of familiar exhibitors from the old Chelsea days. It should be a great show! The venue is really beautiful - One Marylebone. Click <a href="http://madelondon.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=9ff0f79017d7bbb81847bbdf3&id=8db100d4fb">here</a> for 2 for 1 ticket offer!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">As a special treat to my customers - with every purchase you will receive a ticket to entered into a draw to win 'Supreme Deer' Brooch/ necklace above.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Not long back from family trip from Highlands.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Four days camping at the wonderful <a href="http://www.rothiemurchus.net/">Rothiemurchus </a>site.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Above was our stunning views from camp. Awesome - even with midges (not so awesome).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">The weather up north was surprisingly really good. Yes we had a bit of rain (the last 24 hours torrential - not such fun when camping!) but it was really warm.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">After four days bumming around campsite, taking in local stunning walks, we headed to Glenfinnan, staying at the <a href="http://www.glenfinnanhouse.com/">Glenfinnan </a> House Hotel, which was a real treat after camping.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">The hotel was perfect. Really shabby and rundown with the most wonderful smell of burning logs throughout the hotel. The rooms were less quaint in that they were had been done up and lacked personality, like the rest of the house. They were extremely comfortable though and had a huge bathroom with spa bath which the kids loved. The hotel didn't issue keys for rooms unless you wanted one which was a great freedom.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Glenfinnan is a stunning place to stay for a couple of days with lots of history, and we just wondered around on foot finding so many things to do including the stunning Glenfinnan Station Museum and wonderful Dining Car which was right up our street and served the most delicious homemade food - really unexpected.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">When we were there we noticed a Sleeping Car - which I have only just realised you can actually stay in! Boys were also really excited as part of the Harry Potter movie ' Chambers of Secrets was filmed here.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">I've been meaning to write about this for so long, I got prompted yesterday when lovely jeweller <a href="http://www.zoeduthie.com/">Zoe Duthie</a> posted an image of my shoe brooch on Twitter.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">I first made the shoe brooch a very long time ago. Everyone I ever made always sold - I now make them to order.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Last year I was at my sisters when I spied this brooch. I did a double take - it looked so familiar - but not!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Where did you get that? Sis said 'Topshop'. WHAT!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">The size of the Topshop brooch is much bigger. It is made from mirrored perspex and has the image printed on. The ribbon is horrible synthetic cheap and nasty.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">The shoe brooch I made u</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">sed an original image of a shoe taken from a really obscure piece of ephemera I collected - not saying exactly what in case I do ever pursue this. It is set in silver and has a much more precious feel to it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Its the fact the Topshop actually copied the print of the shoe - probably from my website that is so appalling.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">This seems to happen just so much, and without designers even knowing at times. It will be interesting to find out the outcome of Tatty Devine necklace - that was blatantly copied by Claires accessories. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">It's funny because a few years ago Topshop were selling bright blue butterfly necklaces - my sister pointed this out to me as did a few others that they were very close to what I was doing. I didn't see it as copying. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">I thought it was just coincidence - butterflies are in nature - can you really accuse someone of copying when using them. Prehaps I was being</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;"> too naive!</span>Grainne Mortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15867056998736803477noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040054234764718259.post-35608879675046325792012-06-17T04:35:00.002-07:002012-06-17T04:35:47.012-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Can't quite find the time to blog these days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">My boys are getting older and slightly less dependant - yet I seem to have less time than ever.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Working on lots of different things - above are some old favorites! Charm bracelets specially requested by <a href="http://scottish-gallery.co.uk/">Scottish</a> Gallery and <a href="http://www.caa.org.uk/">CAA</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Scottish Gallery already have new stock - work on it's way to CAA.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Some news. I've started selling online with <a href="http://www.seekandadore.com/">Seek and Adore</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Next big venture is <a href="http://teasureuk.co.uk/">Treasure</a> at Somerset house,London 14th - 17th June.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">I'll be showing at the Seek and Adore Boutique.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Also just joined <a href="http://www.twitter.com/#!/GrainneMorton">twitter</a>. Not tweeted much yet - finding my feet - but looking forward to sharing what I'm up to more frequently via twitter through my phone.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Talking of phone - it's in A&E AGAIN. Dropped it in a bucket of water this morning. Trying to fit in too much before school run!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small;">Tucked up in a bag of rice on top of Aga drying out. Lost without it.
