Kanna Glass Studios

I have been really laxed about blogging lately, I do apologies but we have been so busy/poorly! I have had 3 school fairs, which went really well, to my surprise. I made a fete range, items for a few pounds aimed at kids/teens and they went down really well.
I have also been making jewellery for a lovely client of mine in the USA, she buys beads and sends them to me to make jewellery. I have had a great time making them bits for her, I will post pictures later.
Right to the subject of this post. Lovely Jenn of Kanna Glass Studios ran a challenge a while ago and a set of beautiful beads arrived through my door. I have made this bracelet with them. Jenn's beads are really lovely. Check out her site if you have a mo.

Charity Idea

Hi Ladies

If any of you are interested in becoming involved in a collective of bead makers/ jewellery designers grouping together to raise money for charity please either mail me or comment below. We are planning our first group auction in October with pieces/ beads being sent to me for September. We will support 2 charities this year and 2 different charities in April. Everyone will nominate a charity and 2 names will be drawn from a hat. I will manage the bids as they some in so all you need to do is supply things to auction and ideas! I have listed an auction today (see my last blog) for a dear friend and to see how it goes before our multi item auction in October.

Anyhoo let me know if you are interested and or have bits to donate.

Have a great evening

Lovely Lizzi Auction

Please find below the link to a fab auction that I am running on my site from today up until Sunday 19th July at 8pm. The auction is to raise money for the Princess Alice Hospice in Esher, in memory of lovely Liz Boullin who sadly passed away earlier this year after a long and dignified 5 year battle with cancer. Lizzi was a warm and loving Mummy and Grandma, and a true and loyal friend. Her courage has been an inspiration to all whose lives she touched. Her fabulous family asked that instead of sending flowers to her funeral we made donations to Princess Anne’s Hospice in Esher, a sanctuary to those who stay there. I decided to make a piece of jewellery and auction it; just click onto the link below to take you there. To place a bid simply follow the instructions on the page.I will ensure that every penny raised will go directly to this amazing Hospice in Lizzi’s memory. So in Memory of Liz Boullin I auction
Lovely Lizzi.
