Second time lucky

    On Sunday I will be doing a vintage and craft fair which is the second one that I will have done however the first one was a complete and utter waste of time as it wasn't advertised at all and hardly any one turned up and many people left early without making a sale at all!! I asked the person who runs it for my money back and she went on this massive rant calling me a child and saying that I didn't know what I was talking about. So that didn't end entirely well however, the company that I have gone with this time is much more experienced and well known, unfortunately this means that a table at one of their fairs is slightly more expensive however, I know that there is a chance that if my stuff is good enough that I can make my money back.
   So any way see you there hopefully on the 29th of July at Fat Cats bar in stoke on trent Hanley! :)

Pictures of Jewellery

Here are some pictures of my work so you can have a look at the progress and the gathering of stock so that I can do more fairs around the stoke area. I am doing the one at Fat Cats Stoke on the 4th of July hope to see you there! 

 The above ones are button rings that are made vintage and second hand buttons.

 These rings are made out of Lego pieces I will make some more so that the box will be full of rings.

 Here is the first box that is full of button rings that I have completed in their display box

 Here is the same box from another angle and closer

 Here is a sample of the puzzle rings there are more to come but I need to buy more boxes which I have found on Ebay for those who are interested

Vintage finds

So this is what I got at the vintage fair a couple of weeks ago, (I apologise for the lateness and quality of these photos) any who here is the cardigan that I got for £7. It isn't strictly vintage because it has those bits of ribbon that they put in to keep items of clothing on coat hangers which they obviously didn't put on clothes until the 90's.



Below is a close of of the scalloping on the cuffs of the cardigan and you can just tell slightly that there is a little ribbing on the scalloping as well. If any one can tell me where it originally came from i would be grateful x




Underneath is a picture of the vintage material that I found I intend to make bags out of it at my sewing class that I take on a Tuesday morning. Hope you like it x

Day 27- How do you acquire most of your yarn/ vintage show

Most of my yarn is from either charity shops in Cannock or Lichfield or from the market in Cannock if I have to make a special purchase I always look at Kemps wool shop on-line first:  Kemps I don't know how they manage it but they always seem to have what I want on offer !

Here are the pictures from the vintage fair that I went to at the Fat Cat Club in Hanley :

A lovely woman who I saw in the line going in

A stall holder who loves Hello Kitty just as much as I do

Her nommy things a lot of which I wanted to buy but I had no money

Tomorrow I shall show you what I bought x
