Xmas Fashion Souk at the Waterfront

A wee quick post about my adventures at the Fashion Souk last week - thanks to the snow, my restock order only just arrived in time, & so I was up until silly o'clock the night before making samples - as you can see from the video my eyes were falling out of my head!

My sister and I had a fab day at the Souk, not least because we were 3 stalls down from the lovely John of the Sugar Room, & we invested heavily in some of his divine cupcakes!
I also finally got the chance to meet the lovely Amanda of BoopyDoodle - she's a FaceBook friend of mine who makes fun and quirky jewellery - I have one of her Love Heart bracelets & it always commented on when I wear it!
Thanks to everyone who came along to the Rock Face Minerals stall & also Aly, her team of helpers & the other stall holders for making it a great day.

Fashion Souk 12 December

Last post of the evening! The RFM girls are very excited to be let out for the day once again, this time we'll be at the Fashion Souk in the Waterfront, Belfast on Sunday 12 December 12-5pm. The Fashion Souk has grown from strength to strength since it started back in February - it's held on the 2nd Sunday of each month & normally it's in the Ulster Hall, but for December it moves up the road to the Waterfront. Check out the Fashion Souk Facebook page for more details & if you're there, please do come & say hello!

Ulster Tatler People of the Year Awards 2010

I really am having a catch up - just realised this was way back in September (which seems like a distant memory - it was warm then & there was no snow!) Anyway, I was chuffed to bits to be shortlisted as a finalist for the Ulster Tatler Entrepreneur of the Year Award 2010, & the ceremony was a glittering occasion in the Waterfront Hall, Belfast. Lots of "people watching", though the awards did drag on a bit & of course I was up for the last one! I didn't win (but hey, neither did Christine Blakeley!) but it was a great experience, and James Galway on the penny whistle was a very special treat - click on the video below!

NI Natural Health Fair

Blimey! It's December already! Lots of blogging to catch up on! A couple of weeks ago Rock Face Minerals was at the NI Complementary Therapies and Natural Health Fair in Belfast. It was the first time I'd taken RFM "out on the road" & as you can see I brought my Mum & sister along to help out. Which was just as well as I was rushed off my feet all day, talking to people about the products and handing out samples to try! It was a really great event with lots of interesting people all under one roof & I did miss the small of incense & sound of relaxing music when I went home - to find that the rest of the family had spent the day in their jammies!
One of the other brands exhibiting at the fair was Natures Inspiration, a range of gorgeous natural skincare product, handmade here in Northern Ireland. I bought a jar of the Ylang Ylang moisturiser and my sister bought some of the lavender & we are both loving the products.This pic is of me & Shauna Gallagher, the very talented young lady behind the brand- please do have a look at her website.
