Sweet Mary

Three fabric covered wire clothes hangers - so far I only have one set of these to sell. They are the sort of hangers that would be ideal to hang flimsy or strappy clothes from as the cotton fabric stops them slipping off. The clever couple who are Coulter&Coulter , hand printed lavender stalks onto this soft cotton fabric. I have made lavender filled sachets with this beautiful print (thanks Nic!)and backed them with squares of vintage barkcloth and wrapped them for market in stacks of three. Don't forget! Craft&Design Market 4, held around Hawthorne coffee, 23 Napier Road. Saturday 22nd October. 9.00am - 12.30pm. CASHandCHEQUEonly .

My sewing table over the weekend while making treasures for my Sweet Mary stall and yes, some of them are for Christmas! These lavender pillows (15x15cm) are filled only with New Zealand grown lavender rubbings from Hauiti Lavender Farm. Made with Cath Kidston fabric topped with vintage lace and embroidered heart, they have a red with white spot base fabric. These pillows would make a lovely Christmas present for a special friend or family member, to scent the bedroom and help with a peaceful sleep. I only have 5, so if you just have to have one, make sure you come along to the next Craft and Design Market at Hawthorne coffee shop in Havelock North. It will be on Saturday 22nd October, 9-12.30pm. And finally, a bit of prettiness to make you smile. SMILE!

I took part in a very successful Craft & Design Market in Havelock North yesterday. Thankyou to Fe (organiser) and all who braved the very cold morning to come by, shop and say hello. Luckily it was sunny as we were under the eaves but still outdoors - all around Hawthorne Coffee . The next market will be in approx. 4 weeks and I will confirm the date on my blog nearer the time.

Hi everyone! I have had an awful cold all week, sniffing and snorting all over the place but not on anything crafty I hasten to add.
