An Orgy of Earrings

Hello folks, thanks for joining me this week. The nights are drawing in and I'm dreading the start of winter where it is dark when you get in the car to leave home, and dark when you get back to it at the end of a day's work. If it weren't for Christmas and all the associated festivity, it would be an intolerable time of the year.

In fact Christmas has come early to Nuneaton - at the Slimming World Class I attend the consultant threw a taster session and we all took in Slimming World compatible festive food, shared recipes, and dressed up for the occasion. The lady in the Christmas hat is Cathy Lee, the Slimming World consultant from Nuneaton who works hard and tirelessly with the ladies of Nuneaton to help us loose weight.

Here she is when she isn't dressed inappropriately - she's on a cruise, and wearing Caprilicious to boot! She has a lovely, bubbly, endearing personality and is very popular with her groups.

I've been getting ready for my stall at the Family Fun Day in 10 days time, and made loads and loads of earrings (could that be a frenzy/orgy of earrings?).
​ I have another stall in early November and then of course there's Christmas and gifts I will need to make so they will come in useful somewhere. Of course, at Caprilicious I don't do things by halves. I try to use hand made components, and I like to make said components myself.
I made the components with polymer clay, paint, resin and added semi precious beads, pearls, crystals and Czech glass flowers. The polymer clay shapes were made over a weekend, and then each subsequent step took a couple of days. I think they are rather pretty, though I say so myself.

The last two were made using Jewellery Beetle wings - they are perfect for Christmas parties - I have a couple of necklaces I made earlier that I will take to the stall at the Christmas fair in November, everyone loves a bit of Bling! at Christmas.

Announcing the Caprilicious Christmas Treasure Hunt​

To join in the festivities, Caprilicious will be running a daily Treasure Hunt from the 31st of October to the 6th of November. I will place a coupon every day among the pieces of jewellery in the 'Treasury of Statement Necklaces' - each coupon will be valid for one day only and can be used to redeem 15% off any purchases made from Caprilicious on the day. So hurry up and get your gifts and stock up on Bling for that office party.  

And finally, a reminder of the event next week, I'd love to see you if you are in the area.

Have a great weekend, and see you next Friday, same time, same place.
​Until then
