Edinburgh jeweller

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!

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!

On Saturday I went to Old Spitalfields market for the We Make London handmade market . My friend from Grace and Firefly  had a stall there. I manned the stall for a bit while she got a coffee and I actually managed to sell a ring!  I also had a chance to look around the market and enjoyed seeing the mix of handmade items - from jewellery, purses, cosmetics, prints - there was definitely something for everyone. I bought some lovely things! I chose some glass earrings and a fused glass brooch from Grace and Firefly  and a cherry necklace from   Despina Ceramics .  I have applied to run my first stall there is November so I'll let you know if I am accepted!
