Handmade Market

I'm slowly building up my stock for the next market. I am really liking mixing up the doilies and japanese fabrics. The glass button is also a really nice touch. It is vintage. A friends mum had been collecting buttons for 30 or 40 years and emptied them all into my eager hands last Christmas. They came from all over the world.

I love the colours. Gray is beautiful. It makes me calm and passive inside. To mix the Japanese spring florals, glass button, doily and gold ribbon with it is like decorating a quiet room.

Bringing spring in.
