Jewellery By Shalini

By my friend Raja Swaminathan InsideOut: Open Letter to Shri Anna Hazare : 'via Blog this'

Shop from the comfort of your own home and pick up a unique Jewellery By Shalini creation! Go On! Treat yourself! You know you want to! :-) It's sale season everywhere! And this year I have joined in as well! No not in the the getting squashed in heaving shops or getting stuck in traffic jams or queuing to park bit! I have joined in offering a 15% Discount on all jewellery and wire sculptures in my on-line showroom! All Items Locally Hand-Made In Stamford, Lincolnshire No pressure, no queues, no hassled sales assistants trying to  maintain calm amidst chaos. Just you, hand-made jewellery in my  on-line showroom and easy checkout via paypal. Credit / Debit Card payments are processed in a secure manner via paypal (and you can use this method even if you don't have a paypal account!) And if you have any questions you can always email me via the contact us page on the website or talk to me on my  Facebook  / Twitter page!

Two fantastic days! And its not just about the sales. Yes, as my previous post says, it is my business! And I did make good sales at both events. But it is also about working in harmony with like minded people and getting nice comments from people who visit my stall. At both the  Stamford Handmade Christmas Market and the Late Night Shopping event at Oakham Castle I met some really  lovely people and got so many positive comments, even from folk who were not actually buying but had just come for a "wander around" at their local event. I don't expect everyone who comes to a fair to buy something but a little respect for the artisans displaying their creations goes a long long way. And while people like the ones mentioned in my previous post do their best to spoil things there are the good guys who always make it worthwhile! And give me and others like me the encouragement to carry on crafting and making.
