Curlicues revived!

Earrings for sale....
In the 1980's I spent a year on the Enterprise Allowance Scheme running a craft business selling jewellery and candles. I only lasted the year, as I wasn't very organised, or self-disciplined and there is a complicated background story involving complicated relationships and break-ups.... However now at 53 having taken voluntary redundancy after spending lots of years being a librarian I have to do something. The Government seem very keen that I do not become a feckless idle layabout, however much I would like to be one. So I am once again setting up my own craft business on the rather less supportive New Enterprise Allowance Scheme. I am even selling some of the old things..... 

These earrings are some of my first makes - back in my comfort zone! I have set up my Folksy shop today, though I haven't managed to list anything for sale yet! This should be the link - https://folksy.com/shops/Curlicues and hopefully I'll actually list some things for sale soon!
