Chutney Beads is closing

[Chutney]

Hi guys
I just wanted to let you know that after much deliberation and soul searching I have decided to close. I always wanted Chutney Beads to be fresh and ever evolving. I just don't have the time now I am at University doing my Drama Degree (and am starting GCSE Dance soon too!). I don't have time to make new lines and my website is not being updated with new and exciting jewellery like I used to.
I would never compromise the ethics I believe in, so feel it is time to close. My business in surance runs out on February 1st so I will close the day before.
I am very sad to do this.
I'll be posting a discount soon and I'll also let you know about lots of beads on Ebay.
I'll miss everyone.
Love
Chutney

Sorry to hear that Lucy, just got your email. I am sure that if you ever had the urge to go back, you will be welcomed with open arms.

Wishing you much luck with your future and your studies.

PS I should also say a huge thank you to Daffs (Daffodil Design) for everything. She knows I worship her work and I know I will work with her again on either Chutney Beads or my drama project when I graduate. She is a honey and should be running a London ad agency.

Hi Lucy, I am all teary reading this too, and reading your email.

I don't think people realise how much heart and soul goes into our work and you have shown great courage in taking the decision to close.

I am happy for you if that is your wish, a little sad that a hard working, talented WAHM is closing. All the best xx

[littlesheep]

Sorry to hear your decision - but as you say you have other things to look forward to and you can always pick it up again in the future when you have more time.

Good luck with all your studying

[Chutney]

Thanks guys. That is why I haven't sold it. I can't bear to part with my Chutney name and my little silver stamps with my name on........... oh poor me.............. sob!

I had an email from you too, your jewellery is lovely, such a shame if you have to close. I know how hard it can be trying to do too many things though.

Good luck with your degree.

Guys, you have overwhelmed me. Thank you so much. I will still be on MZ (where does one post if not in WAH?! Help!) and I will support you all if I can. You are all truly inspiring and lovely. I think the fact that I am not selling it makes it easier. It will still be there bubbling away under the lid. And I am sure I will unleash the soup in the future (does that sound weird? oh hell I AM weird!).
KISS
