I have been saving the summery deckchair, that some of you may remember I made-over last September, especially for the fair. I thought it would make a good centrepiece on my stall and be great for displaying dolls and cushions. I've booked a single pitch instead of a double one this time, so want to create a neat and cohesive display of my wares...Well, that's the plan!...
New handmade rag dolls include Pagan in her mohair jacket and French fabrics.

And Harriet in a striking turquoise cardigan and luscious floral layers.

I've made some more fluffy powder-puffs with vintage trims.
And one of my flapper style hat stands will be coming along too. I recently bought the old doll's face and have combined it with a vintage candlestick and antique trims...
Doesn't she look cheeky?!
There will also be plenty of handmade handbags (including this cotton ticking variation on my usual design below), cushions, brooch pillows and lavender sachets, to name but a few. (And yes, I did manage to finish 25 chandelier charms!)
Hope you can make it along to the 4th V&H fair, as it promises to be a great event once again, with lots of fine craftswomen and vintage dealers to tempt you with their treasures. Thanks to Jayne and Michele for all their hard work in its organisation.
Sunshine please!
Right, off to the shop now - Have a great BH weekend, whatever your plans,

Ah - a Ticking Stripes handbag! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOooooooh! Wish I could come to the fair (but it would be a long walk from Oregon!). Even more, I wish I was one of your dolls to be dressed in such lovely frocks with mohair sweaters!

I think the little deck chair is very charming and colorful. Your dolls are precious and they will love sitting on that colorful flower chair.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the fair Niki, I WILL make the long journey eventually!
