Going three times ........SOLD !
Last night was a great evening, full of big hair do's, beautiful girls and beefy footballers strutting their stuff on the catwalk. If you would like to have a closer look you can see more here.
I have to admit that the highlight of the evening for me was the auction, seeing my work being offered to the highest bidder. I had no idea how it would go, so when the hammer went down at £300 I was positively ecstatic.
I'm so glad that my little piece of Sparkly Treasures has contributed such a fantastic amount to such a worthwhile cause.

Star Pendant
Here it is, I was a good girl and took a photo, and while I was at it I wanted to see how good the macro was on my camera. I know its good, but I didn't realise it was this good, I mean to see the hallmarking detail this close normally requires the use of a Loupe. I think under these circumstances you will forgive the pixellation and colour !.
Sophie's Appeal Fashion Show
In my true blogging style I have left some very important news to the last minute, I was saving it for my newsletter but as that was put back a few weeks I thought it best to give you the heads up.
Tomorrow I will be attending the Sophie's Appeal Fashion Show.
The appeal was set up by Lin & Mike Barringer after their daughter, Sophie, was diagnosed with Wilms Disease, a form of kidney cancer, which sadly claimed her life in September 2004. Now the trust raises funds to support the social, emotional and educational welfare of sick children and their families or carers whilst being treated either in hospital or the community.
As a mother of two and sufferer of kidney disease it struck a cord so I contacted the organiser and offered to create and donate a unique piece of jewellery incorporating their logo, which could be auctioned off during the evening. So when I was then asked if I would also like to attend and have a table, I gladly accepted.
Que headless chicken mode as I get ready for one of the biggest events for Sparkly Treasures this year, but luckily my partner in crime is also doing the show (so funny, we both went to tell each other at the same time) so we've been able to keep each other on track !.
As yet I haven't taken any pictures of the necklace (I'm soooo behind) but I will definitely get some done later today and post them up. I'm extremely pleased with how its turned out and I'm really hoping it raises lots of money for the charity.
