new adventures in vintage




I have been working on some cushions recently using my ever-expanding pile of vintage textiles. My regular button-forays to the charity shops of Fife and beyond seem to have produced a bit of a fabric mountain too so I thought it was about time I did something about it. I have only used second hand and vintage materials on all these pieces- including all the sewing threads which I also seem to be stockpiling! I have gone for a folky birds/ nautical bunting thing for now but watch this space for further developments... all are available to buy in my Folksy shop this week.

north rock gallery




Lovely Pigeon is now available in the North Rock Gallery in Lerwick, Shetland Isles. This is a lovely new craft boutique owned by designer Suzanne Shearer of PhatSheep Textiles. I am lucky enough to share the shelves with the likes of Jane Foster, Jane Smallcombe and Lisa Jones. If you cant make it all the way to Shetland, online shopping is coming soon too...
