Camberwell Green Farmers Market July 2nd 2011

Today I was at Camberwell Greeen Market selling my jewels. 
The sun was shining and it turned out to be a great day.  There were lots of fresh food on sale at the farmers market and it was a great opportunity to promote and sell my jewellery.

I had a bit of a crazy moment when a bee decided to fly down my dress, I was so surprised at how calm I remained during the episode.  My neighbour Barbara was kind enough to shied me with her scarf whist I disrobed in the middle of the park to get the little bugger out.  
Trust me to pick to wear a dress without a zip- however the little fellow flew out without stinging me which was great and we all had a giggle.

The rest of the day was great, I met a lovely young girl who came and bought some of my jewellery when I was there last month.  As she spotted me today and got her dad to buy her one of my Made With Love Pearl necklaces which she wore straight away which put a smile on my face :)

So I am looking forward to the next event which will be on Saturday the 23rd of July. 
This one is set to be huge, estimated to have approx. 2000+ visitors so I better get to work lol!
They are putting on a special event to celebrate 1 year to go until the olympics, they are putting on live music, events for the kids and even a running track.

I Love Peckham

Peckham often appears on the News and in the Newspapers as a town were gun crime is high and 'Gangsters' roam the streets, so I wanted to highlight some of the positive elements of Peckham that hardly get shown in the media and deserve to be recognised.

Peckham has one of the most colourful and busiest libraries in Southwark, designed by Will Alsop from Alsop & Stormer and it received the 2000 Stirling Award for architectural innovation.  It was in this same library that I sourced my first books on jewellery making in August 2003 and taught myself the basic techniques that sparked the beginning of my career.

Peckham is also home to the organisation BBI (Black Business Initiative), who offer a range of support to young people aged between 16-30.  They can help turn your dreams of helping your own business into a reality with the help of a test grant of up to £1000.  I went to BBI when I started my business and they awarded me with a test grant of £750, which was a great stepping stone for my jewellery business.

Gisella Boutique set-up business in Peckham in 1991 designing and making couture womenswear and bridal wear and are also stockist of Elisha Francis Jewellery.  They have won many awards for their amazing designs and are a great examples that hard work and determination pays off.

Celebrities from Peckham include actress Linda Henry (Shirley in Eastenders), footballer Rio Ferdinand and Andy McNab former SAS soldier and best-selling author.  

Every cloud has a silver lining but sometimes you have to search for it amongst the mist, I would like to be a good role model for my community and show that against all odds you can strive for success.  No matter where you come from or where you live you can make a positive difference in your community by looking for inspiration, you can become an inspiration.
