Introducing Bellamars pendants

So being on matt leave is great fun, I've done mum and baby groups. And I've never drank so much coffee, I'm helping to keep Jittermugs in tea. And spending time as a stay at home mummy is lovely.

However I've been itching to do a bit Of crafting, I love making things especially pretty jewellery shape things! So I sat down, had a play and, Bellamars the pendant co was born (cool name ay;) )

Here's some of what I make...

 

I'm really excited to be able to offer these (the deer one is mine thought! Me hahahah)

I've only been open 3 weeks so imagine my surprise when I was contacted by the coordinators of a well know vintage fayre . They wondered if I'd do a table at the Christmas shebang... I'm YEAH I WILL!

Here's the proof

Christmas light turn on in faversham

Every year we wrap up and head down to town to watch the lights. Every year they don't turn on properly, a bulbs gone. The kids whinge, it's packed. But I do love it, there's a lovely sence of community. Spiced cider is everywhere, and hot dogs and people wearing baby's.

I'm not religious at all so for me Xmas is about the coming of winter, the eating of food and the giving of presents! It's also a time to reflect on how bloody lucky I am.

Enjoy the piccys x

An open letter to my friends

Dear friends 

When I moved to Faversham I didn't know anybody, I also didn't know myself very well. I started meeting you over the course of the five years I've lived here, each one of you extraordinary. 

Strong, funny, gorgeous and tenatious. You've all taught me a lot about who I was, a couple of you have even played a massive part in helping me to be a better mother, a better person in fact.

However everyone of you is important, you are a reflection of who I am, you tell me truths I need to hear. Share my happy, make me feel better when I'm sad. 

You Love my children, you're always there if I ever ask and even when I don't. You see me for who I really am, and like me anyway.

It's hard to pinpoint just what it is, that makes you all so amazing.

Great mothers

It's Halloween :)

I love October, here are some pictures of what we've been upto in our lovely vintage this month. 

 

I hope you all had a fab October! 

Mine and Bellas town adventure!

It's October my very favourite month, the leaves are brown and crispy everyone has their chimneys on and I get to buy more coats... What! I need them!... Anyyy way moving on.

 We spent the afternoon with the lovely Mim

Drinking lovely tea! 

 

In the lovely Jittermugs

 No tea for Bells she stuck to milk.

We hit a couple of charity shops in Faversham. Sadly I was unsuccessful largely due to doing more chatting that browsing!

Then we popped along to see Rachel, she owns The Hat Shop in town.

It's a treasure trove. Not only does she sell hats, she sells so many little pretties I don't know where to start, take a peek!

Mrs Proprietor!

The hats...oooo the hats!

Pretties.
