18th July. make a date with "hand made"

This month our monthly craft market will be a week early.
That's so you don't have to miss out on tons of gorgeous hand made goodies!
We're off to the Indie Tracks festival to host our first festival workshop at the end of the month...so that's why we're going to be a little bit earlier then usual. It's back to normal in August: Saturday 29th.
So hope to see you soon.

last chance to get something new...

This coming Tuesday, 7th of July we'll be packing our buttons,trims and sewing kits as we say goodbye to 93 feet east. Thanks to everyone that came to our "fancy something new" cloths swaparama and for the nice people at 93 feet east for having us there.It was fun but it wasn't the right venue. Even though we love Brick Lane and 93 feet east it didn't quite take off. We gave it a go and we will be back in future with more fun events. Cloths swapping is something we're in favour of and part of our make do and mend,recycling ethos so expect to see us again pushing the message!

With her gorgeous hand wrapped silver jewellery and semi precious stone accessories I'm sure you will be tempted! A ittle birdie has mentioned something about raffling off free Brownies. OK that might sound a bit,HUM, but I assure you once you've tried these brownies you'll never eat any others! Draws for these lush edible prizes to take place at :noon, 2:30 pm and 5 pm.

The tea rooms....

This Saturday and Sunday "Angel and Tai's Vintage tea Service" will be at the Tea Rooms at the Truman Brewery in Brick Lane. A great excuse to get out of the house and celebrate all things vintage!
You'll get a fair share of vintage clothing,apparel,collectables and best of all enjoy a spot of afternoon tea at this pop up vintage tea service. It's a lovely new addition to the Truman's Brewery markets.
A plethora of yummy cakes and teas served by these lovely ladies in one of London's best and friendliest new markets. Well one needs a rest for all that thirsty work which is shopping!!!
There are loads of pop up enterprises "popping up"(excuse the pun) across London but we're assured that it's an American term that started about a year ago in New York ranging from boutiques,tea parties to restaurants and we love what these two lovelies have created in our capital: a fun, gorgeous and lush tea time experience!

Craft Guerrilla June Craft Market...A hand made summer!
