Blue Amber

About time I got some new blue amber up here! These will be available for sale either online or at Cambridge. Going to be a chilly one this week...

All working again

My website is working again thank goodness.
I should really thank Fasthosts after my lovely webmaster/sister tried to resolve it with them, but as they got it working and then tried to tell us that nothing was wrong with it, they have blotted their copybook somewhat!
I think that the server is deliberatly trying to send us both round the bend!
Alls well that ends well as they say.

Website problems

You may have noticed that there seems to be a problem viewing items on my website.
Rest assured I'm working on getting it back to normal just as soon as possible.

Price Increases

Unfortunately due to the near doubling of the price of silver over the last year, I'm gradually putting my prices up to reflect this.
I was hoping to hold off until after Christmas but I'm finding a rather large gap emerging between my takings and my ability to buy more raw materials, which, in November when I'm building up stock, is rather a big issue.
So from today, you'll start to see my internet prices rise by a few pounds here and there, depending on the item, and after this weekend, the items on my stall.
So if you want to do your Christmas shopping, I'd advise you to do it this weekend in Cambridge before the price increase!

Whitby

Had a great time in Whitby for Halloween weekend- nice to see a few familiar faces there.
Really should have taken some photos but was having far too much fun!
Good to have both the usual Arcturus stall and Captain Hieronymous Bartholomew's Impossible Fossils sharing the same table! Space is always at a premium at Cambridge so The Captain doesn't always get any selling space.
Follow that blog on

Butterflies again...

I love my camera- it makes my photos looks so good!
Rushed upstairs to get my camera and this little fella stayed put rather helpfully! Beautiful colour- pretty sure it's a Common Blue but I'm open to other suggestions. Seen lots of Brimstone this year (the pretty yellow one) that seems to be the butterfly of the year instead of the Painted Lady.
Really should be making stock after a sucessful weekend both at the market and at the Cambridge Rock Festival. Will do that again next year!
Maybe not drop a heavy board on my foot next year as it made my enjoyment of the music on sunday a little harder!
I have two very bruised toes on my right foot- I'll refrain from photographing them, even though they are also a very pretty blue colour!

A bit of fun...

Here you will find Captain Hieronymous Bartholomew's Impossible Fossils-
Proof of a civilisation millions of years before man stood on two feet!

Of course, the claims made in the above are, at best, completely made up
