Successful Stall!

I had an AWESOME time with my stall over the weekend,
Here's a picture of the stall:



It went SO well, I sold some stuff from the table but I also have 14 orders for name drops! Madness, so far I've completed one... so 13 to go I guess :P

So a BIG thank you to Julia and family for hosting the whole event and to the other stall owners and all the fabulous people who decided to come along, do a bit of shopping and support charity :)

I've been busy making things for the stall and have my usual felt badges and hanging birds and hearts (although some with a chirstmas twist)but I've also been making purses!
I first made one for the awesome Jemma for her birthday and just got inspired:

Origin: The London Craft Fair

From the 21st until the end of September I had the MOST amazing time working at Origin!
Origin is a craft fair that takes place once a year, this year, it was in old spitalfields market near Liverpool Street Station and Brick Lane :)
Here's my brochure:


I was working for the most amazing Michelle Griffiths, a textile/shibori artist from South Wales! http://www.shibori.co.uk/
Her stuff is just brilliant and it was SO cool to have the opportunity to learn all about it from the master herself :)
The standard was insanely high and we made good friends with the stall owners around us, meeting them and learning about their work was definitely a highlight for me!

Other London highlights include:
LES MIS AT THE O2!!!!!! I went to see the 25th anniversary concert, fingers crossed I'll get on the DVD :P

Also, my shoes, I went vintage shopping and found these AWESOME shoes :)


Overall, a BRILLIANT two weeks!
