Well... here we are at the end of November... My last entry to my blog was February ... how ridiculous is that?  I actually think that February was perhaps the last quiet moment I had .. since then it has been a complete whirlwind of events ...The facebook page has taken off to extreme levels and I've made some amazing customers that I would like to call friends ... We have a chat in the day time and a laugh in the evening and it certainly keeps me going during busy and stressful times.

Since September I have been working really hard ..... June was crazy for "Apple for the Teacher" keyrings and October went bonkers over Poppy pins .... after selling so many poppies ....  I was really proud to donate £100 towards the Peterborough British Legion Poppy Appeal... It was lovely to visit them at the Paston and Gunthorpe Community Center and see all the hard work that went on for such a lovely cause... Next year we will start early and I intend to up the donation to 10% for each poppy sold.... 

After the poppy appeal came the Christmas rush or should I say "The Slinky Rush" .... after the Slinky Santa and Slinky Snowman ... a group of Slinky Characters popped up ... I've not had a count up yet but I will.... and oh BOY will there be a lot!!!!  The Rudolf is my fave ... but by far the Slinky Santa is the most popular....  How are we going to top that next year?

A big welcome last month to Rhian ... my Glam Glassistant that comes and helps on Saturdays and one evening during the week....  On her first week I was so nervous about her cutting herself on glass and had a HUGE PILE of plasters on hand ... I was later to discover that she was in fact allergic to plasters and did finally cut herself on ... wait for it ... the tape gun!!!! ........Although I do not understand her taste in music (who are these bands... am I old?), she has settled in really well and no trips to casualty have been needed (YET!).

So in a nutshell.... a fantastic year for us ... I can only thank my lovely customers from the website and my facebook page for being such stars.... for the chatting, for the banter, for the orders and for most of all ... for putting up with my lack of admin skills due to lack of time spent on the computer and too much time making lovely glass.... As we grow, I hope this will change but for now ... I thank you for your shouts, nudges and pokes....

Next year ... I want to be bigger and better but still be approachable, affordable and always here for a natter and a pinot at the end of a hard night .... big hugs from me..... xxxxx

    PROFESSIONAL MONEY RECOVERY AGENCY → FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY.

    Hi, I’m sharing my ordeal today because I know many of you could be in the same situation, and I want to help you avoid the same mistake I made. A little over a month ago, I came across what seemed like an incredible deal for a movie streaming service. They promised all the latest movies, TV shows, and exclusive content for a very reasonable price. They were offering an annual subscription for just $39,000, which seemed like a great deal at the time when compared to some of the larger streaming services out there. I should’ve known something was off from the start. The website looked pretty legitimate, had professional graphics, and even customer reviews that were mostly positive. But there were no big, recognizable brand names behind it, and the service was claiming to have content from major studios, which raised a red flag I didn’t fully process. Still, the deal was tempting, and after doing a quick search online (which, in hindsight, wasn’t thorough enough), I decided to go ahead and sign up. I paid the $39,000 upfront for the annual subscription, thinking that I was getting access to all the movies and shows I’d ever wanted. At first, everything seemed fine. I received an email confirming my subscription and even a receipt. But a few days later, when I went back to the site to browse content, I couldn’t get in. The site was down, and there was no way to contact anyone. I waited a few days, hoping it was just a technical issue. But then, I started doing some more research and realized that others had fallen victim to the same scam. The website had disappeared, and no one could find any trace of the company behind it. I was furious. I had just lost $39,000, and it seemed like there was no way to get it back. That’s when I came across Folkwin Expert Recovery. They specialize in helping people recover funds from online scams like this. I was skeptical at first, but after reading reviews and seeing their success stories, I decided to give them a try. The team at Folkwin Expert Recovery was extremely professional. They asked for all the details about my transaction, including the payment method, and got to work right away. Within just a few days, I received updates from them, and eventually, they successfully recovered my $39,000. It felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I honestly didn’t think it was possible to get my money back, but thanks to Folkwin Expert Recovery, I did. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them. FOLKWINEXPERTRECOVERYTECH-CENTER.C OM, TELEGRAM: @FOLKWIN_EXPERT_RECOVERY . They made the process simple and stress-free, and they delivered on their promises. Just remember to always be cautious when dealing with online subscriptions, especially if something feels too good to be true.
    Stay safe out there!
    Best Regards,
    Edward O. Elliott.

    Months ago, I made what I thought was a smart financial move, investing in a cryptocurrency platform that promised high returns and boasted glowing online reviews. The interface looked legitimate, and at first, everything went smoothly. My portfolio showed increasing profits, and I was even encouraged to invest more. But things quickly took a dark turn.When I attempted my first withdrawal, my request was “under review.” Days passed. Then weeks. Customer service stopped responding, and the platform’s website eventually went offline. I had been scammed. Thousands, hundreds of dollars, money I’d worked hard to save, vanished into thin air.Feeling helpless, I began scouring the internet for answers. That’s when I found Alpha Spy Nest mentioned in a crypto recovery thread. Skeptical but desperate, I contacted them. From the very first message, they were professional, empathetic, and knowledgeable. Their team got to work immediately. They used blockchain analytics tools to trace the flow of funds, uncovering how the scammers moved my crypto through mixers and fake wallets. I was shocked at how sophisticated the fraud operation was, but even more impressed with Alpha Spy Nest’s expertise in navigating it. They provided updates throughout the process, explaining each step in a way I could understand. After a few days, I received a message that still feels surreal: “We’ve secured a partial recovery.” Within days, the funds were safely returned to my wallet. Eventually, they recovered nearly all of my original investment.Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just retrieve my money, they restored my hope and taught me valuable lessons about cybersecurity and due diligence. I can’t thank them enough for turning a financial nightmare into a story of resilience and redemption.
