Vintage Dishes

One of my next favorite things to collect, after patterns and fabric, is yummy vintage tea-sets, and dinner sets.
See below for some examples.

This set includes 6 saucers, side plates, sugar  bowl.and milk jug. As you can see from above, the name suits the picture. The picture includes a man in a red jacket, presumably The Hunter.

The above is another gorgeous Arklow pottery set of 6 cups, saucers and plates. This pattern has a 60's vibe to it,  with its white background and red, orange and blue little flowers.

I love this Wedgwood dinner plate with the gold gilding. This belongs to a set of 12.

Tomorrow I will be selling these sets and more her in the fabulous Halpenny Flea along the Quays in Dublin. Come along and grab yourself a bargain, there will be lots of other goodies there too.

Ha'penny Flea

Come along to tomorrow's market, where I will be selling again.. Its right in centre of town, just past Ha'penny Bridge. If you happen to be in the area please pop in. There will be lots of vintage & jewellery stalls, plus a few crafties.

  I will be selling my little make-up pouches this week, among other things. These are the perfect size to pop in your handbag for all your little necessaries. Here is a sneak peek. I used some of my gorgeous new Michael Miller fabrics.

Starts tomorrow at 12 noon and runs till 5pm.

Another Sunday, another market. It was a rainy day today. I had lots of fun, met some lovely new people. got some nice compliments on my goodies. And even Anna got in on the act, she drew some pictures and sold them for 50 cent each. She made a profit too. In this picture she is wearing a little shirred top I made for her.

Ferocious Mingle Market

As the title suggesst myself is planning on another market which is to be held on Sunday 13th June. All details can be found here. I am looking forward to it in a weird sort of way. I say weird due to the fact that stall holders have been asked to go fancy dress. Argh, as I dont normally dress up I am going to have to go searching for something funky to dress up in. I made these two little romper suits for it. The pattern is from the book One Yard Wonders. This book has loads of free patterns, although sewing instructions can be a little bit lacking, its a great book for beginners. And all the patterns use a yard (meter), or less. As the title states!!

I like these little romper suits, I shirred the waistline. The shirred look is really in this Summer. I think they look more feminine with the waist elasticated. I wish I had a little model to wear them.

Market

The market was great, loads of people turned out for it, and I sold some of my wares. Met lots of nice new people and a good day was had by all. Only problem is now I have to start sewing all over again for my next market which will probably be the Leixlip Salmon Festival. Held on the June Bank holiday. Its a great day the main street is closed to traffic and lots of people come from the surrounding areas to enjoy themselves. So its busy busy busy for me. I took some pics of the last Crafty Market, but they are very bad quality, too low lighting. I put them up anyway for you to enjoy....
