Christmas Markets

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a sprinkling of Christmas Markets.
 
This year you will be able to come and meet me, at three rather special events.
 
Firstly, I will be spending the weekend with Renegade Craft Fair in London's Brick Lane.
 
Selected designer makers will be showcasing original handmade goods, great to treat yourself, or for unique  gifts for your loved ones.
 
Entry is free!!!!
 
 
 
Then it's back home to Colchester, for my favourite local fair, The Secret Vintage Fair.
 
Slap bang in the middle of town, at Liquid nightclub. There will be live music, pop up beauty salon, vintage clothing, homeware and handmade retro goods.


 
Then to finish off my pre-Christmas trading I will be joining Bobby's Girl Vintage & Gift Christmas Fair at the Marconi Club in Chelmsford

Saturday's Kids

I'm catching up with past seasons of Grey's Anatomy today, ahead of the new series this week, so just adding a couple of brooches to Etsy
 
The metal effect brooches, are just a little bit more subtle than the full painted faces, and will look great on your autumn rain mac, or a winter coat.
Penny Bronze Effect

Greta Copper Effect
 This is a first, a miniature version of Matilda, with golden blonde hair, a baby blue bows.

I'm also plotting and planning for my next Izannah Walker inspired doll.....
 I ordered this fabric from Spoonflower to make a dress for her, last week I also found some beautiful paisley for her at the Knitting & Stitching show. She's going to get quite a wardrobe.....
 
Victorian Printed Cotton
 All being well, I'll be back playing with clay this week. I have some new brooches to finish, and my Izannah inspired head to work on.

Shop Update

Dolly Cushion by Bea's Beastlies
 
It's a gorgeous sunny day here today, but I'm inside updating my Etsy shop. Before I could get on this morning though  Dolly had to move out of the way! :0)
 
Mostly Doll brooches again, and I have few more to list this week, then I will be outing some more vintage jewellery up too.

Elise Pale Blonde

Hans Grey Hat


I've also listed my newest Googly Girl, who is my version of a Kestner 111 antique doll.
 
She's been hand cast, painted, dressed and wigged by me, and she's a super happy cheeky little madam.
