stitched..

So, it seems I have been listing a lot (in comparison to jewellery pieces, I am well aware lots of nothing has been going on around here in the past couple of weeks) of textiley things recently. It was not a concious decision, but it is where I began....it's interesting watching things change and fluctuate over time...always returning to the same things, albeit in slightly different ways....

Anyway, never fear jewellery lovers as I have happened upon some fabulous vintage charms, old jewellery, chains and things and will be constructing some fabulous new pieces for your viewing (and hopefully wearing) pleasure! So... keep your eyes peeled over the next couple of weeks! In the meantime you could just hop on over to the shop and see some new purses made from vintage fabrics and some vintage fabric brooches and plush hearts embroidered with some of my favourite song titles......custom ones are also available on request :)

Boxwood

New purse handmade from vintage Sanderson fabric. I love, love, love selvedges, so thought I'd make a feature of the script text of this. It fastens with a vintage wooden button and olive green velvet ribbon. As featured on Cuteable

extensions

Apologies for my absence last week - it was my first week of working freelance, and although it wasn't really my first day at all, there was still a lot of learning...it was also a rather busy week with 3 exhibitions being hung! But, this is a new week...and things will be more settled

I'm working on lots of new bits and pieces for the shop....I got lots of new bits of vintage lace and fabric and buttons and ribbon and patches at the weekend, which will be making their way in the direction of etsy pretty soon!

For now, the 50% off sale has been extended - until Wednesday.....plus free shipping if you mention my blog....don't say I'm not nice to you :)

Pendants

I'm having a gentle end to what seems like the longest, shortest, worst, craziest week ever. Lots of glueing and embroidering and listening to fabulous things are being done today. Printing of new fabrics is not. My printer chooses it's times to break rather well. I managed to get a few new designs printed, but will have to investigate further into why it suddenly doesn't want to work today.

new faric, purses and lockets in progress

For any Scottish Sunday Times readers, you may have seen the Made in the Shade feature today...for those who aren't go here to see it. Only 2 weeks to go now....less than actually! It's going to be great fun, so get the date (25th October) in your diary and keep checking the website for updates.
