Tibetan silver - don't be fooled

I spend a lot of time online looking for lovely new beads and charms to include in pieces for me and for future collections.  A lot of the cheap stuff is labelled as Tibetan silver.  I wasn't sure about it so I looked further.

Guess what?  Tibetan silver CONTAINS NO SILVER (or at the best less than 30%)

Wikipedia (always worth a quick look) says "Currently, jewellery, beads and castings described as 'Tibetan Silver' tends to be a base iron 'cheese metal' casting, overlaid with this pewter and silver plating."  HERE

eBay reviews have lots of info from customers on how NOT silver it is.

Just to let you now.  I use sterling or fine silver as standard and will occasionally use silver plating for my fashion pieces.  I am always VERY clear about the silver content of my jewellery.

Meditation Workshop

I will be giving a Beads Meditation workshop on Sunday 16th October at the Hewitt MBS fair in Norwich.

I will also be selling my lovely jewellery.  I would love to see any Norfolk people.

Keep looking on Twitter and I will be putting up a password for a show discount!!!!!

For your bead meditations

Some lovely inspirational music.  Enjoy

Rehydration fluids for Children and Adults - save a life!

So this is totally off topic but I am in my 3rd day of a D&V bug, quarantined from my children and feeling awful.  I am surviving on Rehydration fluids, this is the most important thing you need for rehydrating after vomiting or diarrhoea.

You don't need to buy Dioralyte or other branded rehydration solutions all you need is boiled water, salt and sugar.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends the following mix.  In 1 litre of boiled water dissolve 1 level tea spoon of salt and 6 - 8 teaspoons of sugar. Sip little and often to maintain hydration after a purge.  Drop the salt a little for children.

Babies (under 1 year) should see a doctor the same day and children after 36 hours or if they become really unwell (ie floppy or unresponsive)

And whatever you don DON'T take anything to stop the diarrhoea, it will just keep the virus, bacteria etc inside your body and keeping you ill for longer.

For more information see the world health organisation's web site, or NHS Direct.
(normal service will resume soon)
