In the new (July) issue of Good Housekeeping there is a nice article about a lady called Christine who keeps hens in an Eglu in her garden, & she mentions that she is on the forum nearly every day, & has got together with other forum members

 

So, who is it then?

[The Dogmother]

Kannie? Is there a picture? Our Kannie has short grey hair.

[Cinnamon]

It looks more brown than grey.

Her hens are called Lily,Maisie & Lottie...............

She designs jewellery........

Lives in Finsbury Park.......

[The Dogmother]

That's her!!! She's lovely

 

Hair was a short pixie sort of cut last time I saw her. I may have been wrong about the grey though.. is it online?

[Cinnamon]

I can't find it anywhere,but I guess they won't have it up yet as the mag has only just come out

 

Its a lovely picture with kannie sitting & a couple of hens,one a Blue Belle, on her knee

[The Dogmother]

Awww, don't s'pose you're able to scan it in at all.....

[Cinnamon]

Not sure about copyright if I posted it here.

And it would take forever for me to email it ot you,with the pants dial up & all

[Laura & CTB]

I've just seen that in my copy too Sarah - I was wondering who it was!

[The Dogmother]

Don't worry then Sarah, I'll try to snoop through a copy in WHS

[Yorkshire Pudding]

I got my Mum a subscription for Mothers Day - will go and have a look!

[Seagazer]

Yes I saw that too and wondered who it was. I like the jewellery she had on. Hers perhaps?

[kannie]

Hi - yes - it's me!

 

Sorry: just been so busy that I haven't been here every day recently, despite what it says! It is quite nice what they've said in general though. All a bit strange really, as I chatted to the journalist for ages and had just no idea what she'd print!

 

Unfortunately they didn't print my website address, though they said they would . If you look there I've linked a copy of the article on the 'news' page (copywrite or no copywrite!)

 

And I haven't dyed my hair Claret - it's just the front bit that's grey

 

That's Lily and Lottie on my lap, by the way, and the tiny blob of red under Lily's bottom is the edge of Maisy's comb!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Wow, you're famous . You kept that one quiet!

[Laura & CTB]

Gosh Kannie - congratulations

[Cinnamon]

Its a super piece kannie - you should be very pleased with it.

You,your hens & your jewellery all look lovely

I spotted this in my mums magazine - i never buy magazines but mum always gets Good Housekeeping and it flopped open at the interview about you Kannie!

 

Great article

[Snowy]

A lovely article and a lovely pic of you and your girls! Well done Kannie!

[gooner.girl]

Great that eglus and chickens are in 'Good Housekeeping' My M-I-L gets that and i'm sure she thinks i'm mad keeping chickens. But - if its in Good Housekeeping then it must be an ok hobby - i'll suddenly go up in her esteem!

 

(i am not good at house keeping and never intend to be... I have better things to do with my time and she doesn't like that either!)

[kannie]

... it flopped open at the interview about you Kannie!

Yes - handy that - I'm opposite the free shampoo sachets!

 

I don't usually read GH either: I did as a teenager, as my mum always took it. I just got to be in there as the PR person at Goldsmiths' Hall saw an article in a previous issue about women who'd done career changes, and she thought I might get into a future career changing feature.

 

When she spoke to them they fitted me into a 'hobbies' feature instead! Hence it's more about chickens than jewellery! Never mind - in some ways I feel more comfortable about the chicken focus, as I'm still fairly new as a jeweller!

[ubereglu]

The picture in your signature now makes sense!!!

 

Well done for getting your article published and by the looks of your website you're becoming quite successful!

[kannie]

Thanks ubereglu! I think your chicken art is great, by the way!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Just had a peek at your website - your stuff is lovely .

 

Glad I could at last read the article in Good Housekeeping too - thanks to your link!

[ubereglu]

Thanks ubereglu! I think your chicken art is great, by the way!

 

Why thank you...Mind you business hasn't been great recently and I'm trying to make a decision about the future of the webpage.
