Despite the heavy snow happening across the North of England and South of Scotland, I braved the
wintry weather to exhibit and sell my products at an event to publicise
Blombos Cave in Newcastle this Saturday just past.
Blombos Cave are an online jewellery (and paper
giftware) emporium which you should check out if you have a chance as they stock a huge range of hand-made necklaces, bracelets,
cufflinks and much much more which would be great as a present and even better as a treat for yourself!
GraceInk has a selection of the digital cards with various designs for sale on the website too (if you're looking for the connection!)
This is the
GraceInk display of my work being admired at the event. I was selling quite a range of textile and paper gifts including my new birdcage notebooks and larger purses to fit a passport in. The wrapping paper which I had printed with the Trinkets design went down a storm along with the gift tags...must be everyone getting ready for Christmas.
My favourite jewellery item from the show had to be these brooches by
Compass Alba, which featured parts of out of issue ordnance survey maps backed onto a beautiful beech wood. I even ended up buying one featuring my home and surrounding locations. Check them out
here on the website.
Just a quick highlight of a Blombos Cave offer in association with GraceInk, throughout April they are offering an extra 15% off all their jewellery and handbags, all you've got to do is type in graceink15 at the checkout to partake of this opportunity! 
You might want to splash out on these lovely 'Coast' cufflinks by Hannah Lamb which I think are just stunning and also made to order based on a coastline of your choosing. 
My personal favourite has to be Compass Alba's 'Map Brooches', you can select what part of the UK you would like to adorn this wonderful creation...you'll never get lost again!
