Craftacular!

On Sunday we ventured out for the first time in ages to the Bust Craftacular  in Bethnal Green, man oh man was it packed. I tried to take a few photos but I get shy taking photos in public, I think everyone is looking at me and thinking I'm silly with my fancy camera taking very mediocre photos (I promise I will get over this and figure out how to use my camera soon, scouts honour!) so I don't really have many photos of the event to show you. What I do have is a list as long as my arm of things I want! So time to share...


Fox cushion by Caroline Dulko
 Deer clock by Kate Sutton
Knitted necklaces by A Alicia (the chunky cream plait is my favourite)
Love the lion's faces by Handmade to Measure

Now I am not normally drawn to sweatshirts but for some reason I just couldn't get enough of them there. The two I may have to sneak on my birthday list (it's a bit late for the Christmas one *sad face* )

Dark is the night sweatshirt

If it hadn't of been so busy I could have spent hours there (crowds don't agree with me or Iris) and if I wasn't so poor I could have spent a fortune. There are about a million things I haven't mentioned but it's getting late and I need to go to bed because Iris has decided it is very important to wake up at every given opportunity in the night and I am much like the walking dead at the moment.

Before I go I must mention these guys, they make the most beautiful (and fun) silk scarves and collars I have seen and if I had the money I would wrap a dozen of them around my head and neck. Not only that the chap I spoke to who makes them was impossibly sweet and beautiful (I should have taken a picture!).




Love, love, love them.

    Ooh I was there too! What a great day. I bought the starry sweatshirt and it's my favourite piece of clothing. So comfy, I'd definitely recommend asking Santa for it! xx
