Shiny, shiny... bad times behind me....

Over the weekend, I have been helping out my friends on their fabulous 'Shine' jewellery stall in greenwich market..The owners of the business are Louise Hatch + Kate Jaconello, both have been running the business for 8 years (I think..) and are a real part of the whole greenwich market 'scene'

Kate has had quite a lot of family stuff going on, the last being her mother falling and fracturing her hip, so I offered to lend a hand to help Louise keep the business running.

Louise Hatch is the main buyer of the jewellery and has such a keen eye for fashion and trend. It is something that is quite admirable, as even though I am a 'fashion designer' I certainly do not have the eye for trends that she does! This is most noticeable with the regular customers that buy off the Shine stall, they know what they are getting is key to the latest trends and fashion. Saying all of this - there is another side to the business that concentrates on crystals, chakra healing and pieces that have a lot more substance than 'fashion' but I will go into this in more depth another time..

Over the weekend we have had such fun including a fabulous fascinator display (these things are quite hard to display) flowers in our hair, lots of cups of tea and of course some lovely customers!
