Fabric and fabulousness

Fabric-a-brac is back!

In fact it's tomorrow-Saturday 13th November 9am-1pm.

Back in the big venue of St. Anne's Hall, Emmett Street, Newtown.

Loads of parking right outside the door and FREE!

Yeeha, it'll be a cracker and emma will be stocking a table chocka full of goodies:)

To market...

This Saturday emma is going to wheel out the clothes rack and set up a wee pop-up at the extra special Frank Kitts fashion themed market-yah!!

With WOW just around the corner Wellington has fashion clothing firmly on the radar so pop on in and you'll get an exclusive taste of some of the best and freshest local labels all under one roof.

How good is that:)

and then there were more...

Just had to show you the latest members of the emma (OWL) family.

Tea-cosy owl has haunted me for the last couple of months and finally I found one of my own-it's peaceful now and very nice to have settled home on my shelves:)

Then my dear friend Emma (yes, jinks!) sent me this ever so lovely print from Hobart of a very wonderful owl to grace my workroom/shop wall. So perfect, thank you. I haven't had it framed yet, as can't bear to let it fly away for long, but will soon , promise.

What is it about owls that makes us love them so?

Craft rescue from Ruby in the Dust

Yep, it's raining again in the Capital but this does give you the perfect excuse to get comfy inside and get those crafty fingers working. As we know sometimes a little helping hand is needed to get you started and Ruby in the Dust have come to the rescue.

emma now stocks these cute felt craft kits with everything you need to make six beautiful birds or hearts, tweet!! It's a great gift and perfect for any friends, young and old, just starting out in their journey into the fabulous world of craft:)

Sad to see you go...

so have to pay my respects to the ever inspiring World Sweet World magazine, sob...

The final issue has a divine Devon Smith cover and equally lovely contents and you get it now from emma and complete your collection!

Thanks Hannah and Thomas for creating something really special in Wellington and being a uniting force for us who love craft and the powerful positive energy it brings.

I'm sure you're going to create someone really beautiful soon.x

Pretty pretty things

I can't believe a couple of weeks have flown by since the ever so lovely and talented Ms Heleen from Ruby in the Dust was in town for Craft 2.0 and visited her exclusive Wellington stockist...

emma!

She came armed with special treasures so I've replenished my gorgeous vintage embroidered brooches stock and got some new cosmetic mirrors. They have such cute pictures and fabrics on their reverse that you'll smile even as you despair over your wind-blown hairstyle:)

Also each mirror thoughtfully comes with it's own braid trimmed felt pouch to keep it safe and sound.

While visiting Heleen fell for one of my 'if it's homemade it rocks my world' tees and wore it at The Dowse the next day. Looked great, thanks:)

Fabric 'a' brac

Saturday 18th July @ the Brooklyn Community Hall 12-3.

a snuggly merino hoodie, patchwork pillowcase or perhaps a softie to tell your secrets to:)

It's cash only with the closest eftpos machine being around the corner at the Brooklyn shops so forewarned is forearmed, ka-ching!!

There's lots of bargains so be in quick.
