Have a fabulous night Jo, people are definitely getting more Christmassy, I went to one last night and did much better than I expected, I'm sure people are fed up of hearing "credit crunch this credit crunch that..blah, blah, blah...", and have started to get all jolly and are spending, so you will sell lots of your lovely jewellery and you will be stressing tomorrow because you are hopelessly short of stock for your next event !!

Good luck Jo. Is this a jewellery party?

How do you find the time to run a jewellery business with an 8 year old? I can't imagine being able to do it. Today, I really wanted to spend all day in the workshop. But I was interrupted by the shopping delivery man (and having to put the groceries away), and my day actually ended around 2pm when I knew I couldn't get anything more done without the stress of being late for the school run. Then after that it's homework duty, dinner duty, after school clubs etc. There just doesn't seem the time.

I am so sorry that you had a grotty night, I think that the hardest thing in this business is finding really good venues, I think I am more surprised when an event goes well, than when it is dire! Advertising seems to be the last thing that some organisers think of, when commonsense dictates that this is the most vital issue that should be addresssed, no peeps through the door = a failed event in my book.


I really hope that your house shopping evening goes brilliantly for you xx

I have to set off in a couple of hours to set up for tonight's jolly and am feeling a bit like Jo last week, it's cold, I have an earache and I have never done this venue before and I'm feeling really negative about it all. I hate selling my jewellery, I don't want to convince people to buy it, I only want people who love it to buy my jewellery, I may not be the best jewellery maker in the world, but I really do put my heart and soul into every piece I make and if one person says something along the lines of "it's a bit expensive " tonight they will receive a Christmassy Glasgow kiss from me !

Rant over..... feeling better now xx
