Selvedge Spring Fair

Two trips to London in two weeks and lots of work to attempt to keep up with inbetween has left me a pretty tired girl, so here are a few snaps from the Selvedge Spring Fair yesterday, and I'm off to put my feet up! 

A lovely day and thanks to High Tea of Highgate for warming 

Earl Grey and delicious gluten-free cupcakes.

Wonderful stalls and stallholders at the fair...

My favourite stall of the day... Beyond France. One day half my house will look like this, beautiful linens, and great company too, thanks Maud!

The Selvedge Spring Fair

Good morning everyone and firstly, Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you are enjoying a splendid weekend, yesterday morning I travelled to London for the Selvedge Spring Fair, so thought I would fill you all in on all the day's events.

My day began at 4am, leaving the house at 5am bound for the big smoke.  It was my first expedition driving all the way to London and on my own too, I was a little nervous to say the least. However I managed to keep my eyes open and made it to St Augustine's Church Hall with plenty of time to spare before setting up for the day, even managing a small nap in the car before unloading!

We had a couple of hours to set up before Polly declared the Spring Fair officially 'open'! I've added some new bits and bobs to the display of my stand and I was pleased with how it all looked as the fair-goers arrived at 10 o'clock.

Aprons, tea towels and egg cosies all went down brilliantly and I am so relieved, as you never quite know how things are going to go. The hall was decorated beautifully, including hand made paper pom-poms hanging from the ceiling, it was quite a display! I met so many lovely people throughout the day and even put a lot of twitter names to faces too. Fortunately my tiredness didn't get the better of me and I had a sneaky can of energy drink on hand to see me through the drive home :) 

I'd like to say a very big Thank You to all the Selvedge ladies (and gentlemen!) who worked so hard to make the fair happen x

The Sunday Post

With the Selvedge Spring Fair only 3 weeks away (and of course Mother's Day also a mere 3 weeks away!) it was lovely to read a blog post by Holly Becker on 'decor8' about the fair and listing the exhibitors with links to their shops too. Have a peep if you get a moment... http://decor8blog.com/ it's such a lovely blog.  

Following on from last week's 'Sneak Peek' here are a couple of photos of the finished articles... Benjamin egg cosies! Available as a lovely set of 3 or individually, and you can choose from a spotty, hearts or stripey neck-tie :-) bring on Easter I say! x

The Sunday Post: Spring Edition

Good morning! With the arrival of snowdrops I feel it is now just about appropriate to celebrate the arrival of Spring! So I've put together a little blog post dedicated to all things 'Spring-y'... I hope you like!

I'd also like to mention the wonderful Selvedge Spring Fair, being held on Saturday 2nd April at the lovely St Augustine's Church Hall, across the road from the Selvedge shop. I am more than excited to be one of the 30 designers and makers selected for this fantastic event and had better start making in preparation! (Click on the Spring Fair banner to go to the Selvedge website for further info!)

So without further ado, here is my Spring Selection...

Croissant napkins, perfect for Spring breakfasts, inspired by some time I spent in France a few years ago and reminiscent of eating croissants and jam out in the French sunshine...

Spotty Eggs Tea Towel and co-ordinating Spotty Eggs Card - the perfect gifts to give friends this Easter or to use in your own kitchen! New additions to my range, spotty eggs are solely inspired by my favourite meal-time of the day, breakfast!!

And last but not least, my range of lovely floral cosies ~ available as a tea cosy, coffee cosy, or even an egg cosy! They look lovely dotted around the kitchen. I hope you all have a wonderful week and I'll catch up with you next Sunday! x
