Lou Lou’s Bristol Vintage Fair

me looking all cheesy

Well what a wonderful day at Lou Lou’s Vintage Fair to do my first ever stall. It was a long day but worth it in the end and managed to sell almost all of my items and made some good contacts, so very happy. It’s now filled me with confidence and am ready to take on more stalls, with my next one planned in November. 

If you bought any pin cushions or cake stands please Tweet me pictures of them in use. I would love to see them in use!

Upcycled vintage teacup pin cushions

upcycled pin cushions

For the past few days I have become obsessed by making these adorable upcycled pin cushions, these are just a few of what I have made. The fabric has all be sourced from various carboot sales, charity shops and even from a Goodwill in Portland I from when I was out there. All I need now is to find some doilies small enough for the tea cup saucers, together with lots more tea cups and they will be complete.

I cannot wait to see how these will do at Lou Lou’s Bristol Vintage Fair in a few weeks time.

It’s a great way to use up any odd tea cups, fabrics, ribbons and buttons that always seem to build up in the cupboard.

I will also do a post on how to make these for yourself very shortly.

To the happy bride and groom

On Saturday I went to John’s friend/old boss’ wedding. As part of their wedding present I made this cake stand for them. I chose complimentary gold colours with a nature theme throughout. I thought this would be perfect as it can be used year round (I am thinking canapés on Christmas day).  I managed to find a perfect box for the stands, which I must find more of. What made it even better was a text from the groom the following day telling me that they loved it, so happy!

Wishing Lauren and Ray all the best and a very happy future together x
