Aylsham Show 2010

After fabulous sunshine at the Hunstanton Kite Festival we are hoping for more of the same at the Aylsham Show, with such unpredictable weather - who knows?

We woke up to torrential downpours and thunder on Sunday morning and thought 'here we go' but by the time we were on our way to Sunny Hunny, the sky was breaking out the blue and giving us hope.

Thanks to everyone who visited the stall at the Kite Festival. The event is arranged by the Rotary club and they did a great job, lots of displays, plenty to eat and events to keep everyone interested. And the most wonderful display of classic cars I've seen in a long time. Am still lusting after an E-type, XJS and well several others to be honest!

So onwards through the summer we go with the Aylsham Show as ever a highlight. The stall will be on Petticoat Lane so please come and see us. With a huge collection of quality fashion jewellery and scarves in a multitude of styles, colours and designs you won't be disappointed!















Look out for our new winter Pashminas and crinkle scarves. Although I don't want the summer to end, it certainly will have to at some point and these will be the ideal wraps to keep you warm. Keep an eye on www.myjewellerystall.com for previews.

The other good thing (yes I am scrabbling round for positive things to say about the colder months), is that our new retail website is up and running www.myriadlifejewellery.co.uk. So while I do have to keep standing out in the cold for the markets, you don't have to if you want to buy any of the collection.

Still, there are many more warm days to come I am sure so please come and find the stall at the following markets, Sheringham Wed/Sat, Fakenham Auction Site Market Thurs, Diss Market Friday. Sheringham Wednesday market runs through to the end of the October and then will re-open around April next year, but Sheringham Saturday market runs all year round.

Hunstanton Kite Festival


Next Sunday 22nd August the Myriad Life Jewellery stall will be at the Hunstanton Kite Festival so if you are looking for a great family day out, a place to fly your kite and some fab fashion jewellery to buy, well this is the place for you!

This will be our third year at the festival and as ever we are really looking forward to it, just keeping our fingers crossed for some good weather. The first year we were there the day started with massive downpours, then last year it was blisteringly hot. So this year a pleasantly warm still day with no wet would be much appreciated - organisers can you HEAR ME! If only they could arrange that.

The Myriad Life Jewellery stall as ever has a superb collection of necklaces, pendants, bracelets, bangles and earrings in a huge choice of colours and styles. Also, lots of summery scarves to accessorise with too.

If you can't make it to the Hunstanton Kite Festival, the stall can be found at Sheringham Market Wed/Sat, Fakenham Auction Site Market Thurs, Diss Market Friday. The stall will also be at the Aylsham Show on August bank holiday Monday, so you have lots of opportunity to seek us out.

Our jewellery is affordable, diverse and quality, please come and try it on (we have a mirror just ask), have a chat and enjoy the stall I've taken many years to create - just for you!

August on Norfolk markets..


So much for carnival week, the rain was hammering down so hard on Wednesday it would have been crazy to try to set up. Besides, the noisy funfair makes it difficult to trade. Whatever we do, Sheringham carnival week never seems to work for the market though logically it should.

As is typical, there is always some idiot who tries to tell you the rain cleared off after you've driven away. Well I know a trader who lives locally and it didn't, so there!

Never mind, a day at Fakenham Market is always sure to make you laugh (usually ironically). We get all the characters there. My stall is next to the pet stall which occasionally means someone walks in to my stall clutching bird seed they want to pay for. Being a jewellery stall I always am wondering how they came to the conclusion somehow we operate the pet stall too!

This week an elderly lady on a zimmer frame stopped by my stall, leant across a table and started to light up her cigarette (obviously seeing it as a way to keep out of the breeze.) I had to tell her it is illegal now to smoke in an enclosed space, aside from the fact I don't want fag ash all over my lovely jewellery and velveteen cloth. She ambled off muttering.

And if they aren't using the stall as a place to light up a fag, pay for pet seed or shelter from showers, they will use it as a phone booth. A gentleman (I'll use the polite term) a few weeks ago, walked into the stall and leant on one of the tables while chattering into his mobile, oblivious to that fact that it's a market stall not a telephone box. I'll give you a clue - IT'S NOT RED!

Diss Market on the other hand attracts a whole different crowd. We get a lot of friendly locals and lovely regulars but at this time of year quite a few oddities hop off the train too. It all makes for interesting viewing. We get the whole range of fashions on view as we enjoy our morning coffees.

August this year has got off to a wet start so hopefully the sun will be kind to us again soon. I hope so because I've got a whole lot of lovely jewellery and scarves to sell and I want the holidaymakers and locals alike to be able to come out and enjoy them. If the weather remains difficult though, you can always visit our new website www.myriadlifejewellery.co.uk. After all a spot of poor weather should never spoil retail therapy!

How to find great fashion jewellery in Norfolk..

Look no further than the markets!

The Myriad Life Jewellery stall has been around for eight years now and the collection grows and grows. The mission to provide to Norfolk folk a stall with a huge variety of fashion jewellery in a myriad of colours and styles continues. Let it be said, we do not rest on our laurels!


A couple of years ago, fashion scarves were added to the collection, with the same principle - lots of variety, latest designs, quality fabrics and affordable prices.

Like the jewellery, the scarves are displayed to their full potential on mannequins so customers can instantly see how they can look when worn.

New this year is our website www.myriadlifejewellery.co.uk showcasing a selection of jewellery and scarves from the stall for those who can't make it to a Norfolk market.

Just like the stall, the aim is to continually grow the collection online, giving you the best of the stall in the comfort of your home!

As ever, excellent service is important to us. We want you to enjoy your shopping experience, have fun choosing, feel free to ask for advice (eg. when you need to match a colour to a special occasion outfit etc). There is a mirror on the stall, make sure you try things on. We will never pressure you, we know it's no fun with an assistant breathing down your neck! Of course we want you to come back time and again.

The Myriad Life Jewellery stall also visits a number of shows each year. Next up is the Hunstanton Kite Festival on 22nd August and then we will be at the Aylsham show in Petticoat Lane on August Bank holiday Monday.
