		<title>It was all about ME!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had this email from a chap from the local paper, at first I wasn&#8217;t quite sure if it was real and once I found out it was I didn&#8217;t know how much it was going to cost me.  He wanted to do a feature on ME in relation to the up and coming Suffolk [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=romillynorman.wordpress.com&blog=4610622&post=365&subd=romillynorman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m excited to start creating again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After losing my confidence on the preview evening at Blackthorpe Barns it returned the very next day, I had a good talking to myself and decided that there was no need to worry if I had no sales as I appreciated that people were only there really to buy artwork as SOS members are predominately artists producing pieces in various medias.  But [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=romillynorman.wordpress.com&blog=4610622&post=355&subd=romillynorman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>I did sell a piece!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been worrying that with no confidence no one would buy from the exhibition but how wrong was I, I sold one of my best sellers &#8211; Swarovski crystals attached to a sterling silver adjustable ring.  I didn&#8217;t know I had sold a piece as there were no red dots next to the information [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=romillynorman.wordpress.com&blog=4610622&post=348&subd=romillynorman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Preview evening done and dusted!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I attended my first preview evening which included my pieces, on the trip to the venue I was nervous, anxious and didn&#8217;t want to go because I didn&#8217;t know what to do or expect.  I handed out invitations but only George and I could go, although he was with me and being very supportive, I still [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=romillynorman.wordpress.com&blog=4610622&post=344&subd=romillynorman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been so long since my last post and I am so very sorry, but I didn&#8217;t have anything to say, my life just plodded along until I received my first pieces back from the Assay Office and having everything ready for my first exhibition.  So I am now back with you and will post regularly whether [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=romillynorman.wordpress.com&blog=4610622&post=331&subd=romillynorman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Anyway when I was invited for interview at the BBC Radio Suffolk I started to panic, I have this  typical Suffolk accent which I have also been mistaken for an Australian many a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=romillynorman.wordpress.com&blog=4610622&post=325&subd=romillynorman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Fighting a losing battle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I did the normal Christmas craft and gift shows recently and I am getting so cheesed off with doing them because the events company that organises them are too interested to get the money rolling in rather than looking after their exhibitors.  I was one of many jewellery people at the show and I was [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=romillynorman.wordpress.com&blog=4610622&post=322&subd=romillynorman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
