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

    My cheating husband was very smart at hiding his infidelity from me due to some selfish reasons. So I had no proof for weeks while hurting myself during this process. Luckily I was referred to this private investigator and the result was legit and trustworthy. I went on nd hired him through his gmail at hackerspytech @ gmail com. He was able to break into his phone and proved me with the access remotely to all my husband’s dirty chats, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and even phone conversations were directed to my cell phone, if your husband, wife or partner are experts at hiding his or her cheating adventures, work with this legit hacker. You can reach them via hackerspytech @ gmail com

    I’m retired, and like many people my age, I wanted to find a way to make my savings last longer and maybe grow a little. I’d heard so much about Bitcoin and how it was the future, so when I came across an ‘investment opportunity’ that looked professional and trustworthy, I thought I’d give it a try. At first, everything seemed fine. The account they set up for me showed profits increasing, and they even allowed me to make a small withdrawal in the beginning. That made me feel confident, so I invested more of my retirement funds. But when I tried to take out a larger amount, everything went silent. Suddenly, I couldn’t log in, and my emails went unanswered. That’s when I realized I had been scammed. The feeling was devastating. This wasn’t just money, it was part of the savings I had worked my entire life for. I felt foolish, embarrassed, and very alone. Every article I read said the same thing: once Bitcoin is gone, it can’t be recovered. I thought I had to accept the loss and move on, even though it weighed heavily on me. Then I learned about GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. At first, I was hesitant, after being scammed once, I wasn’t sure I could trust anyone again. But from the very first conversation, they treated me with kindness and respect. They didn’t make me feel judged, and they explained the process in a way I could understand. I gave them all the details I had, transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and emails from the scammers. They went to work right away and kept me updated every step of the way. Weeks later, they achieved what I thought was impossible: they recovered a significant portion of my stolen Bitcoin and returned it to me safely. I cannot describe the relief I felt. Knowing that I hadn’t completely lost those funds gave me back peace of mind and restored some of the security I need in retirement. I will forever be grateful to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. They gave me back not only my money but also my confidence. If you’ve been scammed, no matter your age, please don’t give up hope. I thought I had lost everything for good, but recovery is possible, and I’m proof of it.

When I contact wireless Web Recovery, my excitement was once more total. Get in touch with Wireless Web Recovery as soon as possible.

    I never thought it would happen to me. I’d always considered myself careful online, especially when it came to cryptocurrency. But in early 2025, I fell victim to what seemed like a legitimate crypto trading platform that promised expert managed investments and high daily returns. The website was sleek, the customer service was convincing, and for a while, my profits appeared to grow. Then, one day, my entire account froze. When I tried to withdraw my Bitcoin worth about $65,000 my login credentials suddenly stopped working. My wallet had been drained, and every email or message I sent to their so called support team went unanswered. That’s when I realized I’d been scammed. For weeks, I was devastated. The thought of ever getting that money back seemed impossible until a friend recommended Dexdert Net Pro Recovery. I was skeptical at first, but after checking out their reviews and talking to their support team, I decided to give it a shot. From the start, Dexdert Net Pro Recovery was transparent and professional. They explained the recovery process clearly: tracing the stolen crypto through blockchain forensics, identifying the scammers’ digital footprints, and working with their network of cybersecurity experts to recover the assets. Within 3 days, they successfully tracked down the wallet addresses involved in the scam. Dexdert Net Pro Recovery coordinated with the exchange’s compliance team and successfully reclaimed my full $65,000 worth of Bitcoin. I saw the recovered funds safely back in my wallet, I honestly couldn’t believe it. It felt like a miracle after months of despair. Thanks to Dexdert Net Pro Recovery, If you’ve fallen victim to crypto fraud or online investment scams, don’t lose hope.

    “In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service.
