    My comment about workmanship was related to another thread where I was told that I wasn't doing it the best way. I was just being naughty, sorry.

    I've always had a range of prices and things sell in about equal measure across the range. Many of my less expensive pieces I offer an upgrade to Sterling, where I have the materials to make more and customers certainly go for this option.

    I actually had a regular customer ask me yesterday why I was doing less of the inexpensive stuff now, as they wanted some for gifts (a lot of people so Secret Santas at work etc. with a price ceiling), so even customers that appreciate quality still want less expensive items for some purposes, but knowing the workmanship and service isn't compromised.

    I wouldn't invest lots of time in plated pieces, but for quick items, to keep the price down, it certainly has its place.

    Oooooh they are gorgeous - the orange and yellow remind me of Foxes Glacier Fruit sweeties. I bet they'll go down a storm

    I have to say I love slipper socks - my lickle tootsies get so cold.

    I think this is a great idea for seasonal fairs and your pieces look really pretty, Alexandra.

    I think this has been a really interesting thread - there have been a few threads along these lines over the past week or so & this is the one that has really teased out some answers. Nice pretties btw Alexandra I'm sure you'll do well with them.

    Oooh, I sooo want one of those giant slipper socks with a zip up the front that you sit in from Santa this year, I think the OH thinks that I am joking because I put this in my letter to Santa every year and never get one!!
