Treasures of last week

The other week I was rather lucky to find a haul of treasures.. two pairs of rather grand 1940s chestnut brown walking shoes ( will be perfect for winter)... also in the same lot a collection of stunning patterns and pattern magazines  -

I also have say the free patterns were intact...unheard of really. 

And also

Here -

Join us at the charmful Hoxton town hall  (fabulous Victorian Grade II*listed music hall) for fabulous finds and then carry on the evening with a good old Cockney Sing-along...

Street party with Angel Shed on Islington Green

We will be here on the 16th of July... pop down and say hello!

                                  Forgotten Stitches will be here all week long.... pop in and say hello! You could follow it by a lovely walk on the heath and then some tea and cake at Louis, which looks utterly deadly...

The lovely ladies of Craft Guerrilla are at it again and are offering 6 designers/makers the chance to appear at this years Knitting & Stitching Show.... It's such a wonderful opportunity. from the fellows you meet from all walks of life, to the feedback you'll receive. It truly is some wonderful 4 days. I almost wish I could do it all again. Please check out their blog Craft Guerrilla for more info....

Fifi Red Fawn

Lilli

This is dear Lilli... She stands at 65cm in height. Made from a cream piece of felt and embroidered details. Her platform shoes are made out of green snake leather...her blouse an old silk scarf and her skirt is made out of red wool skirt I used to wear.  


After journeys here and there (and perhaps too many late nights...she is a bit of a stopout) she's laddered her stockings. 

Standing in her satin smalls... and looking quite haughty. 

Lilli has the tiniest of waists and wonderful hips... She is certainly a perfect hourglass, the lucky gal. 

Perhaps, you may want a doll like our Lilli? It would be lovely to take requests...
