It has been the month of the shops! Finally after 2 years we will hopefully have a full tourist season here in Ireland. While many are tightening their belts as costs spiral, I’ve been so so lucky to have many wholesale orders and enquiries. While I wouldn’t usually rely on wholesale, it has been a godsend this year as craft markets are reporting low sales and visitors. It has also been a month that I’ve been playing around with some new jewellery ideas….more next month…. And to begin planning for Christmas. Yes this planning is done at this time of year. I was also asked to trial a resin by Craft Resin and while I have stuck with the same brand of resin for the past 10 years, I always up to trying new things. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. I made the pictured console table with metal legs and I’m more than happy with the end results!!
