Wee gems

Ohhh hiya hiya how ya doin??

Well I've got some nonglunking news. The miniglunker is WALKING. WOWSA! Yes she came out of her little bubble of scaredy bum and just took those few steps to the toy box at the toddler group today! Huzzah. And all before she turns 1. (She turns 1 tomorrow btw lol) Oh, I cast my mind back to a year ago and the joy and PAIN of labour. Good times.

Anyway I've been experimenting with my jewellery. I have been so inspired by fellow Etsians that I decided to give making pendant "cages" a go. I think the two wee pieces I've put together look amazing. They are much pretty caged up than meticulously wrapped. I think it takes to long and hurts my fingers too much to do it the "old" way. Anyway I've been showing off these two pendants at work and trying to gauge if the ladies like them or not and I think I'm onto a winner. One of office ladies said they look like sweeties. :D Awww.

Pics will be forthcoming tomorrow as I plan one big ole photo shoot. I got loads of stuff to catalogue and list on etsy so I just need to get crackin.

I've got some plans for selling locally. I think my new caged pendants will go down a treat here at Mercat's shop. I'm going to see if my boss is interested in trialing a few and seeing how they get on. Mercat is big on "going green" and these pendants are just so fab because sea glass is totally Eco friendly. We'll see how I get on with that after I've made a few more. There's also this lovely shop http://www.frugalcool.co.uk/ called Re-Made which is just over the road that I'm going to approach with my pendants as well. Of course I need to make some more.

I've also been buying some craft supplies from my local bead shop in Musselburgh and I'm tempted to make some of my seaglass into beads and selling wholesale to her. It does of course require me learning how to drill through glass... urgh. I may delagate that task to Mr. Glunker and this business can be a family one.

Rightio that catches you up with me for now. I haven't been down to the beach properly since Sunday and of course I'm itching to glunk. I am hoping to meet up with Nicole http://www.etsy.com/shop/NorthSeaTreasures?ref=pr_shop_more a fellow Edinburgh based seaglunker for a bit of beach combing. :) I'll let you know how that gets on later too.

As always thanks for stopping by. Have fun out there and maybe if you look down you may see a wee gem of your own.
