Visit - Love Local Bristol

The new season of Paper.Scissors.Stone has opened and along with Made in Bristol and The Print Shop. Unfortunately I was not able to attend the opening night bash but here are some photographs from the evening and it looks like a great time was had by all. Be sure to go and check out the shops at Quakers Friars, Cabot's Circus as you will find many talented folk selling wonderful things.

Treats!

Oooo I've had a lovely week of treats, some I bought for myself and some were from others. What a lucky girl I am, wanna see what I got? OK, here you go.

At the beginning of the week mother A rocked up with this lovely scarf that she bought for me whilst she was away on her jolly girls get away, it's blue and has birds on it, what's not to love?

The enamel mugs are a treat to myself ready for a camping trip at the end of this month, can't wait for that and I'm sure I will post about it on my return. The love mug was from Urban Outfitters and the folklore mug was from Bloomsbury Bath.

I will also be taking this lovely 'perfect shirt' in 'moonlit pool' that came in the post yesterday from Conversation Pieces, an indie boutique in Los Angeles. It came beautifully packaged in pretty lace ribbon with a lollipop, how cute is that?! I won the shirt in a give away by the lovely girls over at the Lynn & Lou blog, check them and their style and craft posts out, super cute.

Finally there is the pretty silver chain I bought to hold a new pendant I made myself, the pendant needed to sit lower so I indulged in a 20" Prince of Wales chain for it (someone told me this was the name for this style yesterday). I will probably have the pendants on sale in the shop soon.

What little things have made your week?

Good morning lovelies, I am happy to report that the sun is still trying to shine in this neck of the woods, albeit with a cool nip in the air. After a lovely weekend spent celebrating one of my best girls birthday in a 50s vintage style and a Sunday pub lunch with my papa and uncle, it was time to sit back and mooch around Etsy for some handmade delights. I am imagining myself by the sea with this collection of goodies, with a chilled drink in the warm sun (closes eyes and sighs!).

Good morning, I hope I find you well rested after your weekend? Yes? Well here are a few bits I spotted whilst browsing folksy.com on Sunday evening, some delightful ceramic objects I thought you might like.

I met so many lovely customers and caught up with lots of the other wonderfully clever stall holders, a great weekend all round!

New Collection part 2

Happy Wednesday lovelies, how are we all today? I thought I would share a few pics of some of my newer pieces now available in my shop. I am still working on the range, but these are all ready and out there for sale. This work is inspired mostly by my love of folklore and the art that it influences, using old weather/countrylore sayings and folk arts and crafts (quilts and samplers etc) as a starting point.

Shoo shoo gull, away from the sand. There's no good weather when you come to land

You can see more of my work at either of my online shops at Etsy or Folksy. And you can catch me at The Bath Artisan Market this Sunday 10-4, Green Park Station, Bath
