Candy colours!

I am working in the We Make London Camden Lock market pop up shop today. The designers take turns to work in the shop. Today I was working with Samantha Morris who designs prints and homewares . We were playing around with our stock and she took this photo of some of my sweetie jewellery and one of her prints. It's got a bit of a candy coloured vibe!

Pop up shop

Yesterday I took my stock to the We Make London pop up shop . It's located in Camden Lock Market , London. My jewellery will be on sale here for six weeks to start with (to see how it sells). I hope to be in the shop in December which is always my busiest sale time. I'm sure a lot of designers would like to be in then too! I enjoyed getting my stock set up. I took along everything as I hadn't sold in a pop up shop before and wasn't sure how much stock I should take! As part of the deal every designer works in the shop for two days so I worked in the shop until about 6pm. I enjoyed the experience as I got to see what the customers were looking at and buying. I got the hang of the credit card machine and hopefully didn't make any mistakes! Takes me back to my shop work when I was at university!

Camden Lock market pop up shop

Photo by Alexander James I'm really happy to announce that my jewellery will be sold in the We Make London pop up shop in Camden Lock market, London . My pieces will be on sale from 2nd September until 14th October (and for longer if sales are good). I'll take some pictures of my jewellery when it's on sale to share on the blog. We Make London is a fantastic organisation that promotes UK based designer-makers. I've sold at their handmade markets before, last christmas ( here's my blog post about it ). I've also sold at Camden Lock market a couple of times but the pop up shop is fantastic for me as my jewellery will be available seven days a week and I won't need to be there! Market day is fun but it's a looooong day! So, I've been busy making more stock. I've got a few different pieces in the works at the moment too so I will get some pictures of them done soon!

Market day

Yesterday a jewellery making friend, Ann and I set up a stall in Camden Lock market , London. Camden is a very famous area for markets and as a tourist destination in general so we had been planning to see how our jewellery sold there for a while. It's been cold in the UK so the weather put us off but we finally set a date! We had to get there really early to get a pitch but we were happy to be placed in the handmade area and set ourselves up. It was a busy day and we enjoyed chatting to other stallholders and eating the yummy food! I have to admit, I did do better when I had a stall in Spitalfields but we're planning to make it a regular thing to see how it goes.
