Market update

We had our first stall at the Olive Tree Markets on the weekend. Yay.  The weather gods weren't on our side though and there was a flashback to the cold rainy weather of winter but even that couldn't put a dampener on our day. We had a great, if slightly chaotic time, (my family had a little meltdown in the carpark afterwards, though for us it was a seven hour round trip so I don't blame them really! hope noone was watching, we would have looked a little totally crazed.)

If you're in the area you really should check it out, such a beautiful spot and so many amazing and inspiring artists and crafters to see.

Happy Monday!

Wow, what a weekend. It was a little hectic around here, yesterday we woke to gale force winds and a total black out. No power meant no coffee machine!!! I was devastated to say the least. It also meant no computer-therefore no blogging, and no sewing machine, but really the lack of morning coffee was the thing that got me.  Luckily we have gas so we did manage to rustle up a pot of tea (because I've become a totally painful coffee snob and instant just wouldn't do) and some cinnamon toast.

Tracey had a much more productive weekend.

Here is a sneak peak at a few more spring things she has been working on for our next market...... 

Some totally swoon worthy dresses and tops for Spring/Summer. Actually could see it working with a long sleeve t and tights for Autumn too.

This photo doesn't do the fabric justice, it's the most gorgeous vintage floral fabric so soft and light perfect for spring/summer.

Sweet Dress

We've been busy whipping up some stock for an upcoming market. Well actually my sister has.... I've been flapping about not really accomplishing much at all. After such a beautiful start to spring, the weather has turned decidedly grey and miserable and it's making me feel a bit the same, not so much miserable just a little grey. Totally unmotivated. Maybe it's sheer exhaustion from actually managing to post three times in one week!

Here's a little preview of some things Tracey has been working on......

The sweetest little pinafore dress in a mint green with a splash of vintage orange fabric for the pocket.

Here it's been teamed with a little capped sleeve singlet.

I love it.

I tried to squeeze Abi into it, I desperately wanted it to fit because really I wanted to keep it for myself! Unfortunately it didn't, but I have put an order in.
