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

The Cotswold's Vintage Fair

I'll be attending The Vintage Cotswold's Fair on Saturday, showcasing some of my handmade rag dolls, which I'll preview on my main blog tomorrow. 
This little wooden box was in need of a makeover...
I painted it and added a pad of antique fabric in the recess. This and other one-off treasures will joining the rag dolls on my stand. Hope to see you there if you can make it,

Another one!


Another shoulder bag made from vintage hand embroidery and floral fabrics. 
I have a large selection of shoulder bags at the shop now (more here), so this week I  shall be concentrating on making cushions, as I sold 10 of them last week.
