A week in pictures #Handmade Monday

This week I attended the 'Tower Barzaar' at The Engineshed, Lincoln University. This is something I have had a hand in organising. Lincoln was in need of a decent handmade and vintage fair, and this proved to be the ideal location. The first one started in January and was great, the second was on Saturday, but unfortunately footfall was down, mainly due to the weather I feel. The poor swans out on the Brayford were actually bashing through the iced up water to get to their safe haven on the steps! Here are some of the lovely stalls who attended:

Dresses By Cecy Styles

Dotty Pig - Unique Jewellery

Handmade By Claire - Cards For All Occasions

Sugar And Spice And All Things Nice - Baby And Kids Goods

ZukieStyle - Bespoke Fashion And Pet Accessories

The next one will be on Saturday 3rd March. They are every 1st Saturday of the month.

I have also begun to make the half choke chain Martingale dog collars, after a special request, I decided to order extra chains to offer these permanently. Only two uploaded to the site so far, but for an idea this is how they look! They are suitable for dog's who are that little bit stronger but still want to look fashionable :)

And after showing you my new tartan ranges last week, here is Harry looking very cosy in the snow in his tartan coat!

Midas Touch - Gold Prom Bag Collection

I have recently been updating my Prom makes, the latest collection is called 'Midas Touch' and yes, you guessed it, it is all about the Gold.

Each bag has been designed from the initial sketch through to the pattern and creation by myself. I wanted to add a touch of extra class to these collections as I know how important Prom night can be. These

 designs are made using a satin backed Silk dupion, and fully lined in Chinese satin. Each bag contains a fully functional inside zip pocket to keep your Prom purse,plastic and keys safe.

They measure approx 32cm x 16cm and fasten with a magnetic brass clasp.
