Vintage & Preloved Jewellery
.
These used to be very popular when I did craft and vintage fairs, so I thought I would dig out my stock and see what I have left, and there's far too much to keep it hidden. So I have… https://t.co/JGCwhbhhXm

My Happy Place

12 months ago today I went to visit this empty building with a view to taking a stall. At the time I was at a low point with my business and taking on a new venue didn't seem like the best idea, but… https://t.co/B37bhkYiYW

Which one's the keeper?

Well that's what I usually say, but this time I'm keeping most of it for a while to enjoy as I love the colours of the fabric, pan and coat rail. The Italian jug and bowl set and the copper… https://t.co/n3BbXdN3ht
Stall 5 Grants Bulldog Forge

This is my space.
I love my space. The theme is recycled, reloved and upcycled. It probably reflects how my head works, a little bit of everything. It's nearly 12 months since I… https://t.co/dgdaiYQFGd
Headbands

I had a mess about with some old t shirt fabric at the weekend and this was the result. A selection of different sized 100% cotton headbands, some with the original print and some plain. They may need a… https://t.co/5HXGTIT7Fm
The Silver Chair
.
Well shades of grey and silver really. This chair gives the appearance of being small, but it's a regular dining chair height which makes it a great size for a dressing table, dining table or an… https://t.co/HyiUIcCgH3

Apparently that's the new word for upcycled clothing, fashion from trash. I'm not sure how I feel about that one but here's a couple of my makes. A folksy style layered skirt and a tie dye t shirt, both… https://t.co/Ojo1yovjmc

Two lovely Hornsea mugs have made their way to my stall at Bygone Times today, along with this rather cute blue Denby coffee cup and saucer. If you love Hornsea pottery, Royal memorabilia or if… https://t.co/SObH26SFib

Endings & Beginnings

Every day is a new start, but at the turn of the year and the decade it seems more important. This year has been mostly challenging for me, but it's ending so much better than it started. I am… https://t.co/ZZZSAUPo5J
