Vintage Craft Fair

Following Christmas I have been busy making new stock for the Vintage Craft fair on the 29th Jan, St.Matthias, plymouth.  

I still had some spare stock left from my last craft fair and so mixed this in with my new craft items. I customized two fleece blankets using a heart design with a Laura Ashley floral material, which I outlined with a zig-zag small stitch on my fab sewing machine. I also made two Pin cushions, large hanging hearts and also my famous heart and corsage brooches which proved to be very popular.

Overall I had lots of lovely comments and great suggestions about my crafts... these are just a few words/sentences that people banded around by my stool ... Beautiful , pretty, talented, "that would look lovely in my kitchen", "that matches my wall paper", "that would look great on my blue coat", "my little girl likes the heart brooches"...

My day at the craft fair included;

Seeing lots of familiar faces

recognizing people, but not sure who they were

chatting to the Berlesque girl next to me

looking at Vintage Clothes

Eating my packed lunch

freezing

cold

trying not to spend money that I had made on vintage stuff

takeaway coffee

I still have some stock left please e-mail me or facebook me if you are interested in purchasing the stock left   linzybenz@hotmail.com

December...!!!!

Having not published a post recently, I thought I would update my followers about what I have been upto over the Christmas Period.

Although I have been on holiday at Christmas, I could not resist my sewing machine and decided to make some people Christmas presents, which was very enjoyable :-)

Also I am lucky enough to have my birthday in December and celebrated this with a flat party and a meal , plus trying out snow boarding on Dartmoor with my novio as my teacher....fun,fun,fun...

Christmas was great spending time with my very talented sister ; this included giggles,photos,intelligent conversations,sharing ideas and giving cool presents....My mum who has recently decided to start drinking alcohol again has been extremly funny this Christmas and this has involved, dancing to the radio loudly , exercising, eating good food, watching films, laughing and discussions about God....

Looking forward to the year ahead and hoping to make and expand my craft collections watch this space .....
