It's a Holiday Hullabaloo!

On Saturday 10th December I'll be donning my Made In The Shade cap (it's never been off, if truth be told) and selling at our Holiday Hullabaloo!

I'll be selling lots of new and one-off products as well as some old favourites...

 We've got over 40 indie makers selling on the day, a pop-up cinema, an interactive indie fashion room, festive treats and of course, a festive shopping soundtrack. If you're in Glasgow this weekend, I hope you'll shop handmade with us!

Setting Up At The BUST London Craftacular!

Tomorrow I'll be taking a trip down to London on the old Megabus for the BUST London Craftacular. This Sunday you'll be able to buy some exclusive Clare Nicolson products like these..

As well as having my own stall, I'll also be helping out at the Made In The Shade Craft Library, and djing with The A-Maisonettes. Busy times! If you're in London on Sunday I hope you can make it along!

12pm - 6pm, York Hall, Bethnal Green, 5-15 Old Ford Road E2 9PJ.

Monday Thrift Shopping

Mondays are my day off from working at The Maisonette. But as you can imagine, they're not really days off. There's still work to be done elsewhere. Working on my own designs, Made In The Shade work, cleaning, shopping and loads more get squeezed into every Monday.

This morning, while running errands I couldn't resist popping into my favourite East End charity shops. I'm allowed to go shopping on my day off, right? Yes. I'm now the giddy owner of a new collection of souvenir tea towels.

Total spend: £4.50

Del Monte Tea Towel

Costa Blanca Tea Towel - To be made into a floor cushion

Benidorm Tea Towel - To be made into a floor cushion

Portugal Bag - Might use this to carry my lunch

Tenerife Tea Towel - I'm going to frame this one. It's my favourite!
