The Jewellery Boat

Narrow boat ‘Half a Shilling’ is home to Jackie & Mick Warren, who are members of the Roving Canal Traders Association and Licensed by Canal & River Trust to trade on UK canals & rivers which they have been doing now for the last 3 years. Their trading started when Jackie gave up work to cruise the canals with her husband Mick a retired fire fighter, but found she still needed a hobby, family asked if she would make them some jewellery pieces while they were away and this escalated to now being known as ‘The Jewellery Boat’ and they attend events & festivals selling their own designs, made using natural gem stones and a variety of glass and Tibetan silver spacer beads. Their soaps they have made for them, as they come under the heading of cosmetics and therefore have to conform to EU legislation to be sold in this country; they have chosen to use just 2 suppliers for the high quality products that are used in their soap production. Their soap naturally moisturises whilst simultaneously cleansing the skin very effectively, the glycerine naturally produced with the cold process method is completely retained in the soap. They also do a range of soap that is suitable for use by vegetarians and vegans, and they are not tested on animals and no animal fats or preservatives have been added, only natural oils to cleanse the skin. The Aromatherapy Candles they make themselves are aimed purely for relaxation, using eco soya wax and natural oils. Various crafts to be found are Dream Catchers, Wind Chimes & Window Crystals. Mick also has a range of Tiller Pins and has been a stockist of Miracle Leisure Cleaning Products (Brass mate) which started off their trading career. They also hand tie floating key rings for boaters and a range of paracord bracelets for men, women & children.
