A little glimpse of some more new things...I need to take lots of new product pictures this week, but the weather is not on my side today. I took some quick snaps before heading off to Made in the Shade at the weekend. Kilt pins with vintage bow, locket, antique bone button and a sweet little owl charm...
Chunky bracelet with vintage locket, button and a little hint of swarovski pearls and golden acorn...
I love this bird necklace, it is so long and punctuated with tiny brass swallows at regular intervals...it can be worn wrapped once, twice, three, four...maybe even five times around for total flexibility....I have made a similar one with tiny copper keys
So, there was going to be a proper Made in the Shade post, but I was too busy (yay!) all day to get away to have a proper look around...I didn't even take any good pictures of my stall! Shame on me! I did manage to have a quick dash up to Carrie at her Lady Wurlitzer stall and bought some gorgeous Vintage Rose perfume(....which is so, so much nicer than the Tea Rose Body Shop oil I have been wearing.)
I was lucky enough to be next to Kirsty Anderson of Wooden Tree and couldn't resist a little card with a tubby little owl in a wooden boat which is sailing on some choppy waters....He is now sitting atop my dressing table waiting for me to tidy up so he can have a proper place to stay....
I missed so many great things I'm sure! But, on my quick dash round I gathered up some business cards, so I'm sure you'll hear of them soon!
Now, I must go and have a cup of coffee and sit down with my to-do list.....there are lots of exciting things afoot at Lost in the Forest headquarters...exciting things indeed!
A little behind the stall view from Stockbridge Market, which myself and Amy from Green Tree Crafts have been frequenting the past couple of weeks.
It's a fabulous little (but growing) market just off Raeburn Place in Stockbridge every Sunday....so if you're in Edinburgh pop down and say hello!
The stall is looking a wee bit empty, I am currently working on new things, but was struck down with illness for a week and got nothing at all done.....but it is full steam ahead now thank goodness as it will be a busy weekend....Made in the Shade at the Lighthouse in Glasgow on Saturday 26th followed by Stockbridge Market on Sunday 27th...
A sneak peek of what I'm currently working on.....The new collection includes lots of owls, bows, keys, lockets, wood, copper, acorns.....like a magical autumnal secret garden.....
So, anyhoo...it would be lovely to see you, make sure you say hi if you visit!
P.S You can now buy my little hand made, hand painted book and mermaids tear necklace from the Mythical Beast Sweet Shoppe online! http://themythicalbeastsweetshoppe.bigcartel.com/
Happy Labour Day weekend to all my American and Canadian readers....and whoever else celebrates. To mark this occaision (and generally because I felt like being nice) there is 15% off everything in my shop this weekend (until Monday 7th 12pm GMT). Quote LABOUR at checkout - it would also be rather nice if you let me know where you discovered the sale! The reduction will be made by paypal refund, or on request of a new invoice. The 15% reduction is only valid on purchases and does not effect shipping cost. I am very excited (I'm sure there is a better word for it than that, but at 8.30 in the morning excited will do) about the change in seasons. I am an autumn/winter type of girl. I don't dress well in the summer.....I love to dress well in the autumn....beautiful colours, scarves, hats, wellies, thick tights (although thick black tights have been my summer staple!)....stomping through piles of soggy leaves in dark woodland....ahhh.....I love it! My autumn/winter soundtrack is Fern Knight......yes constantly. SO magical.
And whilst listening to the beautiful melodies I am busy creating some new pieces for the shop.....more to come soon!
