Who am I to disagree...

Hello my friends out there.
Thank you for your continued support and friendship.

Just a few snippets I wanted to tell you about...

The lovely Katie of madebyhandonline created this advertisement for
Elle Magazine,
with a vintage theme,
which will be on sale first week December.  
So very happy Katie chose to use one of my purses for part of the ad!
Lets hope it brings lots of new custom to madebyhand, as in this world of mass production,
it is a joy to visit a web site supporting handmade pieces.


Talking of handmade,
 67 brooches created for
 Country Living Christmas Fair 
9-13th November
Business Design Centre,
London  
They will be with the wonderful Jacquie,
on her stand... 
 'Kittys' 
D2
So if you are going to the fair, please stop by and say 'hello' to Jacquie,
she is a superstar. x 


I made a hole in my finger, I did so much stitching :-)

Onto other handmade things.
Purses made with lovely old linen, with tatting and embroidery.





There is always a needlecase or two, to be shown here and this post is no exception.

Well that's me for today.
thank you for stopping by. x

    Hi Viv, At BLOOMING LAST! The great BIG outside world will know what a clever girl you are. Slowly, slowly catch a monkey, nor yet a wonky donkey. All love, dear fruit gum chum, LLX
