Smile Beads & Bling Goes Live!
Hi I'm Karen from Peterlee in County Durham. I've just launched my online business Beads & Bling. I sell fashion jewellery, gifts, bags and wedding jewellery. I also feature a new local jewellery designer each month.

I decided to start my own business after looking for work for over 3 years. I have a disability called Cerebral Palsy and although I have a degree and 6 years experience working for a local newspaper, I was finding (and I hate to say this), that employers were seemingly seeing my disability rather than my abilities.

So I decided I needed to take positive action and after 6 months of hard work and meetiings with potential funders etc, I launched the site yesterday. Now all I have to do is make some sales, wish me luck!

oooh, sparkly things! My inner magpie is calling what a lovely looking site!

Huge welcome to FBF, Karen - I'm so pleased to see you here!

Can I make a teeny observation about your site? The word 'from' in front of the pricing may put people off making an impulse purchase ... for example, one of your lovely looking earrings which I thought my mum would adore said 'from £3.99' and when I clicked the photo, the price was actually £3.99, so I'm not sure you need the 'from' there at all. This seemed to be the case for the 3 or 4 products I clicked. Other than that, it's a fantastic looking site with some beautiful products.

I honestly and truly wish you all the luck in the world with it. Do hang around and keep us all posted on how you're doing!

Lou

Visually a nice site, and cracking prices too!

My wife is into handcrafts and jewellery making and I will show her your site today

There are some good xmas gift ideas

Well done for having a go on your own.
Down but not out by any means - in 6 months time those employers who closed the door to you may just sit up and take notice.

Keep up the good work and welcome to FBF
