Woman's business started after bizarre encounter with a Lands' End pirate
A woman from Chorley has broken the habit of a lifetime and created her own business based off of an unusual encounter with a pirate from Lands' End.
"We were at the post where is marks Lands' End and towards the left was a little farm and there was this man there, he's dressed like a pirate, not as in a pirate outfit, they were his real clothes and we met this men who had a lovely cat, and he was a silversmith," Ellen said. The meeting with the pirate resonated with the 29-year-old who jumped at the opportunity to join one of the silversmith workshops in her area. FA single Friday night in October 2021 soon changed Ellen's life after she booked onto the course at 5pm and was taking part just hours later.
"I became addicted immediately, ordered all the supplies that I needed and I started out at the end of last year, making them as Christmas gifts for everyone. Obviously it was a lot of trial and error- as gifts, family and friends loved them too and it was them who said to me, you need to start selling them.""Currently our spare room has my big office desk in it.
While she makes all kinds of jewellery, including earrings and necklaces, it was rings that kicked-started her creative ideas, not just stemming from her encounter with the Lands' End pirate. "When I'm making something I put a lot of time into to, probably a lot more time than I need to. It's so amazing to think that someone has seen my work, and they think you know what I like that enough to buy it and keep it and it goes away and it gets its own little story.
