Crafty Summer Time! Shropshire Handmade Craft and Food

20170707_150449Hello again at last! And apologies for the lack of posts of late. It’s easy to get swept up in life and, online-wise, also be distracted by social media and neglect your actual website! I’m here today to remind you it’s Made in Shropshire in Shrewsbury town square this Saturday 8th July.  It’s my first outing there this year and I’m really looking forward to it! Lots of colourful loveliness to show you! See you there! As usual, 9am-5pm.

Brompton Cookery School Christmas Market, a reminder for this weekend!

Don’t forget to make a visit this weekend to Brompton Cookery School’s first ever artisan Christmas market. Come along and meet the wonderful makers and purveyors of high quality food, arts and crafts! It’s on Saturday and Sunday, the 3rd and 4th of December, between the highly civilised hours of 12 and 6pm on both days. Free parking and lots of refreshments to enjoy. I have a bundle of new things on offer, so do come and say hello! Here’s a link to the school’s website, for directions and information – https://www.bromptoncookeryschool.co.uk/

Just a reminder….Made in Shropshire….Saturday 8th November!

IMG-20141012-04620 (1024x778)Don’t forget to come out tomorrow to see Made in Shropshire in the main square in Shrewsbury town centre! Lots of lovely crafty stalls and at some point, I believe, an opera singer! We’re there from 9am-5pm…..Time to start picking up your Christmas presents! See you there……

I LOVE these Liberty prints!

I go in and out with Liberty fabrics – I’m having an ‘in’ time at the moment and can’t get enough of them. Strangely enough I saw the red and pink Liberty fabric in all its bright and British glory in a Parisian haberdashery shop this summer and have been coveting it ever since. I had to have some. And I’ve acquired the same design in the purple colourway too – plus two new ditsy florals from the A/W 2014 range. They are just adorably pretty and have so far made these sweet lavender pillow stacks and a lavender cat. I’m about to finish a cloud, a mini lavender bird and a couple of phone cases. All will be coming with me tomorrow to the Made in Shropshire ‘Fair in the Square’ – it’s Shrewsbury Flower Show weekend too, so that means it’s either going to be much busier….or much quieter……such are the vagaries of markets, especially during summer holiday time. You just never can tell! Do pop along to The Square anyway, if you’re about – we’re there from 9am-5pm! Then I’ll be adding some pieces into my Etsy and Folksy shops next week….

Christmas Festive MakesI can’t believe that the last event of my craft year is coming up this Saturday. Where has the time gone? So, last chance to shop! This Saturday, the 21st December, in Shrewsbury Town Square, it’s the fabulous Chronicle Christmas Market, featuring around 50 stalls of lovely craft and gorgeous produce…When it starts to go dark it’s a lovely, twinkly and atmospheric place to be, so I hope to see you there!

Bus Stop Vintage Fair and School for Paws Dog Fun Day!

Two different events this weekend! On Saturday I’ll be at Bus Stop Vintage Fair in Shrewsbury, from 10am-5pm, with lots of vintage and handmade stalls, live music and tea and cakes! This weekend it’s at Shrewsbury Baptist Church on Clarement St in the centre of town.

And then on Sunday I’m at the School for Paws Dog Fun Day! I can’t wait! Starting at 10.30am, there will be lots of doggy fun and activities, plus refreshments and craft stalls. These doggies are going to feel right at home! At Berriewood Farm, Condover, Shrewsbury SY5 7NN. It’s going to be a warm and sunny day for it too!Dogs Love
