The British Craft Trade Fair April 2011

The British Craft Trade Fair is a unique Trade Show showcasing artists and craftspeople's beautiful work. It takes place annually in Harrogate at the The Great Yorkshire Showground.

This year the BCTF takes place on the 3rd, 4th and 5th April 2011

Girl Paua Jewellery is exhibiting at Stand 169.

This will be our third year at the show, and we love it because it is an innovative, crafty delight to show at, and to browse round. If you have a shop or a gallery and would like a complimentary ticket to visit the show, contact us at enquiries@girlpaua.co.uk. Parking is also free, oh and Harrogate is a gorgeous town in the North of England, well worth a visit! Check the BCTF website for more information http://www.bctf.co.uk/. Hope to see you there :)

Freshly Designed Exhibition Stand

Keep an eye out for our newly designed stand at exhibitions and fairs. We think the natural slate really compliments the natural beauty of the shell, and hope you do too.

The Scottish Wedding Show

Well the big Scottish Wedding Show takes place this weekend (19th & 20th February, 10am-6pm) at the SECC, Glasgow and Girl Paua Jewellery is exhibiting (Stand 422D).

I have been busy busy making lots of beautiful new bridal jewellery for the event ... hopefully enough to make lots of pretty brides stop and go WOW!!! That's the plan anyway! So far I have designed 2 new freshwater pearl sets (which will be online here next week!) & Ive designed a few more lines of children's jewellery. Of course Ill always customise for brides too if they would like anything a little bit different, a design of their own or a combination of a few different styles. Im planning on taking a few choice pieces for bridesmaids and mothers of the bride/groom, plus some favours too, something a little unique as a treat for guests!

Plus Ive been busy redesigning and updating my display so it is even more elegant. These big events really are a lot of work but so worth it to make someone's big day perfect :)

Actually can't wait for the show now - Ive decided Im going to glam up too, as though Im at a wedding!! minus the big hat! :)

So hopefully Ill be seeing some of you there, oooh and I hope the exhibitors get a wee glass of bubbly too, mmmm that'd make my day!!
