New Year - New Range

So this year I have decided to go in a slightly different direction, I will still be making handbags and brooches, however, I have decided to expand into the world of homeware.  Having looked through Folksy at the homeware on offer I thought there was room for my style which some may say is boring I would describe as chic.  I like vintage style, neutral colours with lashings of linen!  So here are my first offerings and I shall be listing more as soon as the sun decides that it is going to appear for longer than 10 minutes!  Let me know what you think....

Fresh linen handbag & addition to new collection

So fresh from my fabric shopping trip on Saturday I was itching to use my new fabric and this is what I created with the linen.  The photo does not do it justice it is lovely and you are able to fit everything but the kitchen sink into it.  Colours are perfect for spring summer and would make lovely beach bags.  However, if you are not a fan of creases then you need to steer clear as it is made from pure linen and although it has a fabulous texture to it, it also creases like mad.  It is also modelled by my gorgeous eldest daughter J.  The fabric brooch is made from chiffon and cream beads and can be used on another bag or even a nice summery dress.

Also, this week created vintage tartan handbag in the new collection stylee as promised.

This week I am also needing to get some insurance organised for upcoming fairs, how complicated is it?!  I think the thing that I found most amazing is that fair organisers want you to have £5,000,000 cover.  Now don't get me wrong if someone injures themself because I was too busy sorting myself out a coffee instead of making sure my killer cloths were organised then they have every right to be compensated.  However, what on earth could someone possibly do to themselves that would require £5 million compensation? The mind boggles.

So now need to get myself into gear and get tbags listed in my shops.  Let me know what you think about the new linen bag and the vintage tartan bag.
