What a weekend!

Evening all!

Wow, what a weekend!

The Millais PTA Everything Prom Evening was fantastic. It was so much fun talking to the young ladies preparing for their first prom. It must be so daunting at the age of fifteen and sixteen to look for the perfect dress and accessories. The catwalk show was fab too. There were some beautiful prom dresses from Xclusive, who happened to be on the stand next to me, and who were super friendly. Hopefully I'll be asked to participate again next year.

Then today I've been at the AB Special Events wedding fayre at The Olympos Leisure Centre in Burgess Hill. Another fab day. Fantastic people looking around, and lots of cards given away to prospective buyers. I love designing and making tiaras, so hopefully a few orders will come through.

Oh yes, and yesterday I got to spend the afternoon with my four bridesmaids. We made an easy decision on hair accessories (they're more decisive than me!), and talked favours, flowers and hen dos!  My wedding is nine weeks away now, and I can't wait!

Okay, time for some relaxing after such a hectic weekend. Hope you're all well. Don't forget to check out www.sparkleastar.co.uk if you have a couple of minutes to spare... you might find something you'd like to buy :o)

Prom Evenings and Wedding Fayres

Hi all,

I'm really excited this week! On Friday, 28 January (this Friday!) I will be showing my tiaras and accessories at the Millais PTA 'Everything Prom' evening. I can't wait... it's the first prom fayre I have attended. The fayre will be open from 7pm to 9.30pm. Should be fun!

Then, after a planned day with my very own bridemaids on Saturday, I'll be back up early on Sunday, 30 January (this Sunday!) for my first wedding fayre of the season. This one is at the Olympos Leisure Centre in Burgess Hill, and will be open between 11am and 4pm. It's FREE entry, so why not come along?!

As you can imagine, I have loads to get ready for the weekend, so I best crack on. I look forward to seeing some of you there. If you are attending one of these events, why not let me know? And, if you can't attend, why not see where else I'll be this year? Check my website for events.

Take care all,

The new look Sparkleastar website is live!

Hi all!

Fab news - the Sparkleastar website is now live and ready for viewing!

I am so pleased with the way it looks. Simon, who's put it all together for me (and who's put up with my mind changing every five minutes) has done a fantastic job!  Thanks Si!

So what now? Well, I am preparing for my first wedding fayre of the season, taking place on Sunday, 30 January at The Olympos Leisure Centre in Burgess Hill, West Sussex. Check out http://www.sparkleastar.co.uk/contact.html for dates, times and venues of this and other fayres.

I'm also hoping to join Millais PTA 'Everything Prom Evening' on Friday, 28 January - I'll post confirmation soon!

In the meantime, please take a look around my new site, and get in touch.  It would be lovely to hear from you.

Hope you have a great weekend,

There's been lots on my mind

Hello again,

Well, it's been a long weekend of not much sleep - my mind has been a-whirring. Unfortunately - like many of my arty friends - my old creative juices flow just as I'm trying to get to sleep!

This time it has been all about displaying my tiaras. I'm striving to find a fab way to display my tiaras at wedding fayres, and it's tough. There are some display units out there, but they're not quite doing it for me. I think something custom made might be in order! But, with my first wedding fayre of the year coming up on Sunday, 30 January 2011, time is short. Better get my thinking cap on!

Okay, well I'd better go; I hope my post finds you all well. If you want to visit me at a wedding fayre this season, it's all on my site... but to make it easy for you, just click here!

Take care,
