This is my secondary blog and is designed as an archive of my handmade creations, past and present. I also add dates of fairs I'm attending, where I offer for sale my handmade pieces and also carefully sourced vintage goods. I hope you will enjoy taking a look, Niki x

Summer Accessories


I'm currently working on some more handbags and shoulder bags for the summer season. Each one is made from a patchwork of lovely floral Barkcloths, linens, hand embroidered cottons, plus recycled buttons and with a touch of vintage bling in the form of a costume brooch.
Roll on sunshine...
