Market night on Facebook- Friday 9pm EST

9pm EST on facebook

I once heard that trying something new is a part of Growing and Living Life to the Fullest!

On that Note... I have decided to try a market night! I have given my facebook supporters the first chance to bag a few of the left over Items from the Weekend Market! 
These are some of the Items that are up for grabs....

Woodland Tea Party

I just love Tea parties and woodland creatures.. just like many of you out there ! One day an idea came to me.. what if I combine the 2.. creating precious little things with these 2 themes in mind. With a little bit if whimsy and a hint of Victorian Inspiration I set to work. I have started my collection with a few singlets which are featured on my Etsy site here:

They are super girly, super cute and just ooze Victorian bliss. I have used up-cycled vintage sheet material, clothing and antique doilies combined with a few modern fabrics. There is something about mixing old with new that really makes a unique piece! Each appliqué is hand stitched and embroidered. Many hours of creative love have gone into each one.


"These singlets were made for tea parties and picnics, days spent on meadow adventures and playing Victorian garden parties with teddybears and dolls".



























Another inspiration hit me whilst reading my little boy a storybook. It was by one of my favourite authors and illustrators Shirley Barber. For those of you that are unfamiliar with her work.. Shirley writes amazing stories about cute little Rabbits deer and gnomes getting up to all kinds of mischief and crazy adventures.My favourite is Tales from Martha B Rabbit Her illustrations are beautiful and so inspiring. Every child should have at least one copy of these precious books at home.. They are just darling.
