The Garden Show at Firle - Part One

Whoah!  Just back from Firle, where I've been setting up for the Garden Show this weekend.

Firle is a beautiful Sussex village nestled in the South Downs and is as picturesque as you like.  It boasts a lovely pub, The Ram (I can recommend), pretty houses, and it sits at the bottom of Firle Beacon.  I think this part of the South Downs between Lewes and Polegate is just stunning.  I used to commute this way by train every week when I was teaching in Eastbourne and was constantly bewitched by the lovely soft undulations of the Downs and the way they change in different lights and seasons.

Today is sunny (though there is still a chilly wind) and Firle looked beautiful.  I hope it stays this way for the next three days!

This is my first time at the Garden Show and I have no idea what to expect.  After setting up in the Old Riding School I took a wander round the grounds - the event looks MASSIVE!

Such a shame that I will be behind my stall the whole time and won't get a chance to see everything.  I'm particularly intrigued by the fact that there will be birds of prey there, not to mention all the other stalls - of which there are masses.

I'm going to have a nice big Easter lunch treat at the Lion & Lobster pub in Brighton and then I'm going to pick a WINNER.

Are you excited?  I'm excited.

I'm going to have to find a nice hat to pick the winner out of - shame I don't have a nice floral Easter bonnet handy.

Pop along to the Shark Alley Facebook page to get in there before I get back from the pub.

Mad March Hare Competition

We're going as mad as the proverbial March Hare here at Shark Alley!

To celebrate Easter and Shark Alley's forthcoming appearance in the May issue of Vogue, we're doing a little competition for you to win one of our distinctive Leaping Hare and Star necklaces.

The hare and star are cast and finished entirely by hand in resin and are slightly offset on the chain to exaggerate the leaping effect. The hare has been finished to give a lapis lazuli effect and has a vintage diamante eye. The chain and findings are sterling silver and the necklace measures approximately 48cm in length (hare approximately 6.5cm).

To win all you need to do is visit the Shark Alley Facebook page, LIKE the page and then SHARE the competition photo.

OR go to Twitter and FOLLOW and RETWEET one of the competition tweets.

Whichever one you choose, remember you need to both like/share or follow/retweet in order to be in with a chance of winning.  It couldn't be easier!

All the names will be put into a nice hat and and the winner drawn at random on Easter Sunday.

Go, go, GO!
